Description
These
two
watercolor
drawdowns
and
two
drafts
,
dating
from the
early
1900s
,
illustrate
a
weave
pattern
known
as
Blue
Bell
. 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
. These
drawdowns
were
made
by
Frances
Louisa
Goodrich
(1856-1944)
,
who
recorded
weaving
patterns
she
collected
in and
around
Asheville
,
North
Carolina

made

part
of

Crick's
Delight
"
shows
that this was a
revision
of
another
pattern
,
High
Crick's
Delight
. These
four
versions
of
Blue
Bell
well
illustrate
Goodrich's
method
of
interpreting
drafts
that she
collected
. She
pasted
the
original
into a
notebook
and
created
her
own
numerical
version
in a
second
notebook
. In the
early
years
of her
work
in
creating
drawdowns
,
Goodrich
painted
the
patterns
on
hand-drawn
graph
paper
;
versions
on
printed
graph
paper
were
drawn
later
in
Goodrich's
life
.
