Spotted at the March Meeting
April 5, 2018 1 Comment
Much of our time at the March meeting of the Scandinavian Weavers was taken up with discussion of our upcoming group project on a loom at the Weavers Guild: skilbragd. There was also satisfying show and tell time. Phyllis Waggoner brought a t-shirt rug with cool hems, a piece of her own design.
Melba Granlund made the sampler she wove in Sweden last summer into a wonderful pillow. The techniques in the Swedish art weaves sampler are from the book Heirlooms of Skåne: Weaving Techniques, available from Vavstuga, http://store.vavstuga.com/product/book-johaheirlo.html
Following Jan Mostrom’s class, Marilyn Moore wove a danskbrogd sampler (and is planning her next piece).
Kristin Lawson brought the piece that she made in Jan’s Danskbrogd class, and another that she made after the class.
The designs on the piece below were inspired by a wonderful Japanese weaver whose blog is here.
I hope you enjoyed this virtual viewing. Robbie
This was great viewing. Thank you. It is work like this that gets me inspired to weave some more norsk weavings. Mel
