I took a break from weaving today to test a mask pattern from the U of M. https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/diy-face-masks-during-covid-19. It feels fine and fits snugly over my nose, even without wire inserted.

“Medieval Mash-Up with Margaret.” First photo of the completed billedvev. Several posts about its creation are on robbielafleur.com.

I would have been teaching today. ☹️☹️ #tapestry #tapestryweaving #billedvev #billedvevkurs #weaving #handweaving #weavingmn
