Description
This
watercolor
drawdown
and
draft
illustrate
a
weave
pattern
known
as
Compass
Work
. 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
. This
drawdown
was
made
by
Frances
Louisa
Goodrich
(1856-1944)
,
who
recorded
weaving
patterns
she
collected
in and
around
Asheville
,
North
Carolina
.
Goodrich
made
a
note
that this
pattern
was the "
earliest
collected
";
however
, the
draft
is
not
dated
.
Goodrich
pasted
the
original
drafts
into a
notebook
and
created
her
own
numerical
version
in a
second
notebook
. She
worked
out
the
schematic
pattern
in
visual
form
and
painted
a
watercolor
to
illustrate
the
pattern
block
. This
pattern
was also
known
as "
Zion
Rose
" and "The
Ring.
