Buzzy says stop trying to photograph that custom tapestry pipe loom bag you made with a piece of skilbragd and get me some lunch. #weavingmn #scandinavianweaving #skilbragd #weaving #handweaving

A runner I wove on the Megado at the Weavers Guild of Minnesota, part of a group warp project of the Dobby Weavers Group. See the front and back on the counter, and later with remnants of the evening dinner party. #robbielafleur #weaversguildmn #weavingmn #handweaving #weaving

Two more are scheduled for Vesterheim in September. #billedvev #tapestry #tapestryweaving #scandinavianweaving

It’s so fun to look at the variety of stars in old billedvev (Norwegian tapestry) pieces. See more stars and a worksheet to design/weave your own at robbielafleur.com. #billedvev #tapestry #scandinavianweaving #tapestryweaving #robbielafleur

Some pieces from a show of Weavers Guild of Minnesota members at the Minnesota Regional Arts Council, including two of my danskbrogd pieces. Hours at mnrac.org.
