The first of the #valleygrovetapestries is on the loom and underway. Read about the start of this animal and oak tree homage, and about how tapestry requires so much sampling, at robbielafleur.com. #tapestryweaving #tapestry #tapestryweaversofinstagram

The new issue of the Norwegian Textile Letter is up, with articles about symbols in Norwegian coverlets; an exhibit at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum; art Weaving in Valdres; tapestries in post-war Norway; and a "rag" rug with a very unusual weft.

This is my cameo appearance at the end of a six-minute video I made on the iconic Wise and Foolish Virgins tapestry image (with cool contemporary versions too. The video is linked on my blog, Robbielafleur.com. Watch it and this clip will make sense! #billedvev #tapestryweaving #wiseandfoolishvirgins

In the latest blog post I link to a 20-minute talk I recorded for Vesterheim Norwegian American Museum on Norwegian billedvev, focusing on the pieces owned by the museum. https://robbielafleur.com/2021/08/18/investigating-norwegian-billedvev-an-online-tapestry-talk/

Last day in Maine. Not enough lobster yet, so we had a fabulous lobster roll at Scarborough Fish and Lobster. Highly recommended!

Arthur wasn’t so happy about sitting in the car from Wisconsin to Maine, but meeting the ocean was pretty great!
