Weaving -- Patterns

This watercolor drawdown illustrates a weave pattern known as Betty Teague, although the pattern was mistakenly titled "Betsy Teague.” A drawdown is a visual grid that illustrates a single weaving block. Weaving drawdowns were made by Frances Louisa Goodrich (1856-1944), who recorded weaving patterns she collected in and around Asheville, North Carolina. The drawdown was carefully painted on unlined paper and glued to fabric. The cloth backing would have protected the draft as Goodrich traveled through mountain communities. It is labeled “from Candler in 1898.”
