I’ve previously blogged about my approach to planning \u00a0https:\/\/www.alisonschwabe.com\/weblog\/?p=1010<\/a>\u00a0 and in that particular post used a collage of diagrams on pages from it:<\/p>\n

\"Collaged<\/a><\/p>\n

One was a snippet from a diagrammatic sketch of a man wearing heavy outdoor clothing featuring a\u00a0fisherman’s rib<\/a> neck on his sweater. \u00a0I saw it in some ad in an Aussie newspaper back in about 1995, and clearly remember it but can’t find the actual pic. \u00a0It inspired me to sketch the pattern of knitting and the use those lines and shapes in a commissioned quilt for a book “Quiltskills” 1997,<\/em> published by the Quilters Guild of NSW. \u00a0Each chapter featured particular skills useful to contemporary quiltmakers, illustrated by a quilt made especially to go with the article. \u00a0Mine was chapter 2, Irregular Shapes.<\/p>\n

Anyway this morning I found a very old and poor image of that quilt, Waterweave”,\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0the colour of which somehow seems stuck at ‘too green’ but anyway I’ve put it alongside that line diagram to show how for me a basic diagram can lead to an actual quilt. \u00a0Its typical of my planning that I work things out as I go,\u00a0and usually know when its time to stop.<\/p>\n

As a student and then teacher of geography, illustrating whatever I’m talking about with a simple diagram is what I naturally turn to, so my designs in fabric and thread tend to develop from that kind of mark making, too, and I’ve mentioned before that I see almost any line as a seam waiting to happen.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
