There continues to be interest in billedvev; I just finished my fifth workshop in Norwegian tapestry. The students weave their own designs.

And the highest praise- my husband said, “I want that one for my office.” #krokbragd handweaving #handwoven #weaving #scandinavianweaving #minnesotastatefair2019 #loomweaving #floorloomweaving
