Palmer capital F. |
Signature quilt from Cyril, Oklahoma. |
Although the demands of embroidery tend to simplify the line, you can still see Palmer's characteristic, archaic, sometimes peculiar letter forms in many of these names.
Capital B and capital L, and small b, follow Palmer rules. |
Capital D is a Palmer Method capital. |
The capital N follows Palmer method rules that make the first stroke of capital M, N, and W much taller than the right half of the letter. |
Capital I and capital G are distinctive Palmer Method forms, as well as the small r. The capitals are supposed to be three times the height of the small letters. |
Quilts that incorporate letters are endlessly fascinating. I hope to hear from other fans of this American art form.
