During my first billedvev (Norwegian tapestry) workshop this month, I was particularly interested in the animal motifs in the old tapestries. Read more about the first class at robbielafleur.com. 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

Did you read the article in the NYT yesterday about the tiger who has killed 13 people in India?!!! Search for it and read it. Back at home the cats are happy I’m back from teaching for four days; they are sticking close. Buzz looks ferocious in photo 2.

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. Opening on Thursday, 4-6 (though I will be in Iowa teaching billedvev; you could attend and eat a snack for me!). #weavingmn #handweaving #weavingmn #weaversguildmn

Leaving today to teach Billedvev (Norwegian tapestry) at Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum in Decorah, Iowa. Boxes of tapestries and samples and bags of books and yarn, and looms, ready to load. #scandinavianweaving #billedvev #tapestryweaving #tapestryweavingclass
