Sidney Rosenblatt in his essay "Thumbelina and the Development of Female Sexuality" believes the tale may be analyzed, from the perspective of Freudian psychoanalysis, as the story of female masturbation.

Pindar employed the quest for the Golden Fleece in his Fourth Pythian Ode (written in 462 BC), though the fleece is not in the foreground. When Aeetes challenges Jason to yoke the fire-breathing bulls, the fleece is the prize: "Let the King do this, the captain of the ship! Let him do this, I say, and have for his own the immortal coverlet, the fleece, glowing with matted skeins of gold".Translation in .

Jejims are woven on simple horizontal looms by narrow stripes 30–35 cm wide and 15–10 cm long. The resulting product is a cloth to be used as a wall carpet, a bedding coverlet, or curtains. The width of a jejim matches the distance between the weaver's feet as in the process of weaving the whole width of the cloth should pass through the weaver's feet. The ornamental décor of jejims is diverse and rich.

John E. Schneider, a coverlet weaver, one of the first west of the Mississippi River with coverlets now both in the Saint Louis Art Museum and the Art Institute of Chicago, was born in 1823 and an early respected citizen of Hamburg. Registration and search on "John Schneider" may be necessary. Archie Bowman, locally remembered as one of the last U.S. citizens to die in World War I, lived in Hamburg. Ralph Sutton, a well-known traditional jazz stride pianist, was born in Hamburg in 1922.

The name "Askepot" was used in the first edition (1843), where the tale was entitled "Om Askepot, som stjal Troldets Sølvænder, Sengetæppe og Guldharpe". The name was changed to Askeladden in the 2nd edition (1852), but only in the title, and the name remained Askepot throughout the story. This was rectified in later issued editions. The tale has been translated as "About Ash Lad, Who Stole the Troll's Silver Ducks, Coverlet, and Golden Harp" by Tiina Nunnally, and as "Boots and the Troll" by Dasent (1859).

In return, he sent Hwaetberht a "coverlet" made of goat hair. It was during Hwaetberht's time that the remains of Abbots Sigfrith and Eosterwine were reburied alongside those of Benedict Biscop next to the main altar at Monkwearmouth. In the preface to the fourth book of his commentary on I Samuel (In primam partem Samuhelis), Bede associates Hwaetberht with the Latinate name Eusebius, which seems therefore to have been an alternative name taken by Hwaetberht (citing Bede, De natura rerum, ed. D. Hurst, CCSL 119 (Turnhout 1962) 212.).

Inspired by a donation of a Canadian coverlet, the couple in 1947 launched a research project on the history of Canadian handweaving, traveling to interview weavers and study looms and collections, first throughout Ontario, and then in all the eastern provinces, leading to the 1971 exhibition and publication Keep Me Warm One Night: Early Handweaving in Eastern Canada (1972). From 1949 to 1973 Burnham took leave from the museum to raise her family and to operate, with Harold, a private weaving enterprise called Burnham&Burnham;, located in the Niagara Peninsula.

Likewise Halmstad's Lutheran pastor by the name of Jasper, who at one time had been a brother of the order, but who had become the most perverse heretic, received the large concordance to the published Bible, which the town bailiff permitted him to take against the time when he should surrender it in time. The same Jasper received a coverlet with the permission of the town bailiff. So much for the friary in Halmstad. 1 Falsterbo is a town on the tiny westernmost peninsula of Skåne lies opposite south Zealand.

According to O'Neill, she became obsessed with the idea of the cherubic characters, to the point that she had dreams about them: "I thought about the Kewpies so much that I had a dream about them where they were all doing acrobatic pranks on the coverlet of my bed. One sat in my hand." She described them as "a sort of little round fairy whose one idea is to teach people to be merry and kind at the same time". The Kewpie characters made their debut in comic strip form in 1909 in an issue of Ladies' Home Journal.

She seized the opportunity to create a crafts market, because the coverlet gift brought home the fact that craft work was still being done in the mountains. The founding members also launched the library, which today is a collection of 9,000 books and materials on craft, craft history, international and regional craftwork, and other art and regional materials. Since 1980 the library has operated out of the Folk Art Center in Asheville on the Blue Ridge Parkway as its permanent home. The guild is the second oldest craft organization in the United States behind the Boston Society of Arts and Crafts.

The New York Times praised While Mrs. Coverlet Was Away for rising above the admittedly preposterous premise with realistic characters and natural dialogue to produce a story about "recognizable children living out a wonderful fairy tale. The New York Herald Tribune called Away "light and humorous, credulity was stretched, but not too far, and the adventures and misadventures of a group of children running a household alone without being "rescued" by solicitous neighbors was hilarious and very popular with the young." The Herald Tribune described Magicians as "Not quite as good because a magic device is used.

The second objective was to make soft coverlet to wrap the newly born child as if the child was in the soft hug of its mother. The word Sujani is a compound word of ‘su’ meaning "easy and facilitating" and ‘jani’ meaning "birth". The motifs sewn on the quilt represented sun and cloud, indicative of life-giving forces, fertility symbols, sacred animals, and mythical animals to protect against evil forces, and to attract blessings from the gods. Use of different shades of threads symbolized life's forces such as red, symbolic of blood and yellow denoting the sun.

In 1642, during the English Civil War, the 'Protestation' in support of the Anglican Church was signed by 207 men in Midhurst, but 54 'recusant Papists' refused at first to sign it. Two days later 35 of these did sign, probably excepting the special clause denouncing the Roman Faith, as did their colleagues at Easebourne, where there was an equal number of recusants. By 1676 the estimated numbers of Conformists (Anglicans) was recorded as being 341, of Roman Catholics 56, and of Non-conformists 50. In 1672 the wealthy local coverlet maker, Gilbert Hannan, founded a grammar school for twelve poor boys in the upper room of the Market House.

Nizārī Ismā'īlī flag known as "My Flag". The Nizaris of the Alamut period used a green flag, and later a red one. The Fatimids adopted Green (akhdar) as the colour of their standard, which symbolized their allegiance to Ali, who, in order to thwart an assassination attempt on Muhammad, once wrapped himself in a green coverlet to appear to be Muhammad. When Hassan I Sabbah captured Alamut, it is said he hoisted the green standard over the fortress, it was later reported that Hassan I Sabbah prophesied that when the Hidden Imam made himself known he would hoist a red flag, which Hasan II did during his appearance.

A friend of the Persever family, Miss Eva Penalty, agrees to house-sit and look after the three children while their father is away managing a small tin mine and their beloved housekeeper, Mrs. Coverlet, is away participating in a baking-contest. (Their mother is long-since deceased.) The children are not happy about this, especially the youngest, Theobold "The Toad" Persever, because Miss Eva is a demanding, fastidious disciplinarian who interferes in their lives and feeds them too many vegetables. However, shortly after her arrival, Miss Eva's personality changes: she develops chronic fatigue, spends all her time in bed, and also becomes happy and indulgent.

In the African-American community, women have engaged in the tradition of quilting since they were brought to America as slaves. Quilting requires sewing pieces of cloth together to create a coverlet that functions as both a piece of art and a household item. African-American women, often regarded as voiceless ‘mule(s) of the world’, inherited such creative legacies from maternal ancestors and their quilts have come to represent black heritage. The voices of African- American women have been stitched into their quilts, providing an account of their cultural past. As Sam Whitsitt observes, the quilt reflects the experiences of African-American women: the quilt is a symbol reflective of ‘herstory, history, and tradition’.

Round pieces formed by cutting a circle of fabric, gathering the edges with a running stitch and pulling them tightly shut are known as Suffolk puffs in the United Kingdom due to the Suffolk wool used to pad them. In the United States, the pieces are called yo-yos. The origin date of this type of piecework is unknown, but it was popular in the United States during the Great Depression and in the United Kingdom after World War II. These round pieces can be joined with several stitches on the sides to connect other puffs together and form a coverlet or other items. Scrap pieces may be used, or colors may be coordinated into patterns.

Brooke-Taylor moved swiftly into BBC Radio with the fast-paced comedy show I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again which he performed in and co-wrote. As the screeching eccentric Lady Constance de Coverlet, he could be relied upon to generate the loudest audience response of many programmes in this long-running series merely with her unlikely catchphrase "Did somebody call?" uttered after a comic and transparent feed-line, as their adventure story reached its climax or cliffhanger ending. Other members of I'm Sorry, I'll Read That Again were John Cleese, Bill Oddie, Graeme Garden, David Hatch and Jo Kendall. In the mid-1960s Brooke-Taylor performed in the television series On the Braden Beat with Canadian Bernard Braden, taking over the slot recently vacated by Peter Cook in his guise as E. L. Wisty.

Women have been discouraged from becoming traditional artists but have expressed their creativity through textiles, an art form both beautiful and useful. For women in the 19th century a quilt could be like a diary. Much of what women packed for their journey to California consisted of their own handiwork: treasured quilts, best dresses, baby gowns, and other needlecraft. The meticulous stitches and the fabrics used give visitors a glimpse into the long-ago lives of California women. A few of the treasures that were displayed included: a baby coverlet made by Tamsen Donner (who perished in 1847 en route to CA with the Donner Party); a catalog of stitches – a sampler of diverse skills; a “best” quilt, Blazing Star variation, includes subtle stitched patterns of diagonals, wreaths, and feathers in the off blocks; quilted petticoats and much more.

The seven tapestries are: # The Start of the Hunt # The Unicorn at the Fountain # The Unicorn Attacked # The Unicorn Defending Himself # The Unicorn Is Captured by the Virgin (two fragments) # The Unicorn Killed and Brought to the Castle # The Unicorn in Captivity From the collection of Morgan and Rochefoucauld, the tapestries comprise five large pieces, one small piece, and two fragments. The mobility associated with the size formed an essential consideration of the function of the tapestry in the medieval age and different sizes of Gothic tapestries served as the decoration to fit chosen walls in the middle age. In the modern research, based on the possibility that the unicorn tapestries were designed for use as a bedroom ensemble, the five large pieces fit the back area of wall, while the other two pieces serve as the coverlet, or overhead canopy. Other sources give slightly different titles and different sequences.

Christmas specials normally included a spoof of a traditional pantomime (or several combined). They had few qualms about the use of puns – old, strained or inventive – and included some jokes and catchphrases that would seem politically incorrect by the mid-1990s. Garden's impressions of the legendary rugby league commentator Eddie Waring and the popular Scottish TV presenter Fyfe Robertson, Oddie's frequent send- ups of the game-show host Hughie Green, and Cleese's occasional but manic impressions of Patrick Moore (astronomer and broadcaster) built these people into eccentric celebrities in a way that the Mike Yarwood, Rory Bremner, Spitting Image and Dead Ringers programmes did for other TV presenters with similar disrespect years later. As the only woman on the show, Jo Kendall voiced all the female characters (with the exception of Brooke-Taylor's oversexed harridan, Lady Constance de Coverlet) and demonstrated a tremendous range and versatility, which occasionally extended into having conversations with herself in different voices.

A copy of Wen Tingyun's poetry collection in Shanghai jingjiangnan Library l Geng Louzi Geng Louzi is one of Wen Tingyun's ci poems. Paul F. Rouzer translated it as follow: “Geng Louzi Incense in the jade burner玉爐香， Tears on the red candle紅蠟淚， They stubbornly shine on autumn grief in painted halls偏照畫堂秋思。 Emerald mascara light眉翠薄， Side-curl clouds thin，鬢雲殘， The night is long, coverlet and pillow cold夜長衾枕寒。 Wutong trees梧桐樹， And midnight rain 三更雨 Don't know the grief felt right now at parting不道離情正苦。 Leaf by leaf一葉葉， Sound by sound一聲聲， They drop on empty stairs till day空階滴到明。” (Rouzer 1993) Geng louzi is also translated as "on the water clock at night". During this ci poetry, everything in the environment seems to has the same emotion of the character, and the character also complains about the environment that caused her even more bad feelings. By this way, the writer fused the emotion and scenes to better express the strong feelings of characters. l Buddha-like barbarian Zhong-qi Cai translated it as follow: “Buddha-like barbarian Layer on layer of little hills, golds shimmer and fade, 小山重叠金明灭 Cloud locks hover over the fragrant snow of a cheek.
