Title	[Weave pattern: Seven Stars]
Creator	Goodrich, Frances Louisa
Medium of Original	artifacts
Date of Orginal	1900/1930
Dimensions	16.5" x 16"
Description	This watercolor drawdown and its associated weaving draft illustrate a weave pattern known as Seven Stars, which also known as Sea Star. To record a pattern, a weaver creates a draft and/or a drawdown. A draft looks much like a strip of musical notation; a drawdown is a visual grid that illustrates a single weaving block. The drawdown was made by Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944), who recorded weaving patterns she collected in and around Asheville, North Carolina. Goodrich painted the complicated pattern on unlined paper and glued it to fabric for strength. Goodrich copied the numerical notation corresponding to the pattern into a second notebook of weaving patterns.
