The framework of the final Valley Grove tapestry was taken from a historical Norwegian billedvev (tapestry) cushion. Read the post at robbielafleur.com, "Putting Together the Pieces of the White Church Tapestry" to learn about the BIG mistake in this tapestry. #valleygrovetapestries #Billedvev #tapestryweaving #tapestryweaversofinstagram #handweaving #scandinavianweaving #tapestry
I’ve been feeling a bit sad that I don’t have a trip planned to see the new #nasjonalmuseet —I could see #skrik in its new home. But look what came in the mail today. My friend Mary Skoy sent me a Scream waxed fabric cheese keeper. I immediately put my brunost (Norwegian goat cheese) in it. Perfect!
Reminder: Valley Grove Tapestries: An Open House
Every weaving looks good on my neighbor Roger’s red porch. Sewing in ends day! And I am not allowed to take the plastic off the new magazine until I braid the warp threads on one end. #valleygrovetapestries #billedvev #tapestryweaving #tapestry #weaversofinstagram
Only a bit of hem to go before clipping off the final Valley Grove tapestry, the white church tapestry. Day six of my five-day self-imposed final push. But you can’t speed up tapestry weaving. Perhaps people in the old churches looked out the window and saw a bluebird (probably not so chubby as mine turned out). And if they visited the nearby hardwood forest in the spring they would see the dwarf trout lily, a rare species that is plentiful in the Valley Grove area. #valleygrovetapestries #valleygrovechurch #billedvev #tapestryweaversofinstagram #tapestryweaving #tapestry
Day 2 of the five-day tapestry completion goal. We squeezed in an overnight with Fitz. Visited the pencil sculpture, played at a park, went out for hot dogs and ice cream, and watched a show about 🦕. This morning he watched one more episode while I started weaving again. #valleygrovetapestries #tapestryweaving #weavingmn
