What I Did On My Summer Vacation

My friend Veronna sent me this photo. I’m under the loom, tying up the pedals for a skilbragd weaving, during the Vesterheim Textile Tour.

Valley Grove Tapestry 2: the Ladies Aid woman. #valleygrovetapestries #billedvev #tapestryweaving #tapestry #tapestryweaversofinstagram #handweaving #scandinavianweaving

A chicken! The first of three that will flank the Ladies Aid woman in the Stone Church tapestry, number two in the Valley Grove set of four commissioned tapestries. More about 🐓 in the blog, Robbielafleur.com. #tapestry #tapestryweaving #tapestryweaversofinstagram #billedvev #valleygrovetapestries #weavingmn #scandinavianweaving

The original 1862 Valley Grove stone church, finished. That’s the thing about tapestry; celebrate steps along the way. And a star—they are so ubiquitous in historical Norwegian tapestries. #valleygrovetapestries #billedvev #tapestry #tapestryweaversofinstagram #tapestryweaving #scandinavianweaving #weavingmn

I posted today about the Valley Grove tapestry—the woven rooster weathervane and the completed steeple. RobbieLaFleur.com #valleygrovetapestries #valleygrovechurch #tapestryweaving #tapestry #billedvev #tapestryweaversofinstagram #weavingmn

Do you see the emerging church steeple of the Valley Grove stone church? It is so putzy with so many joins but it is making me happy. This second pattern-filled tapestry with the church and a ladies aid woman looks too messy to reveal while part done, so I will post details along the way. #tapestryweaving #valleygrovetapestries #billedvev #tapestryweaversofinstagram #scandinavianweaving #weaversofinstagram

After spending the past ten days in bed with me with the flu, Buzz is annoyed that I am starting to weave again and keep pushing him from my lap. More about this second Valley Grove tapestry soon.
