drawing and quilting
By Heather on Sunday, March 26th, 2006
i saw a quilt exhibition in oita (大分）recently. the designs were mainly pretty traditional western styles. i don’t know much about quilting at all, and i had never seen fine hand quilting up close. but it was beautiful. i noticed they left the pencil drawings on the quilts.
do they always leave the drawing on the quilts?
one white quilt had loads and loads of pencil sketching all over it- and some lines which were not sewn… it was a great combination of a sketching with pencil and needle. i had a tough time getting good pics!

They look lovely, I like the idea of leaving the pencil marks.

This is interesting. I love the look of the first one, I definitely think that was done on purpose. The other two look a little odd, though…like they weren’t washed.

Hello. I’ve arrived from a link… I think…
My mom used to be a big quilting person. I think she had pencil marks too. I never bothered to ask, but maybe I should.
