Minnesota banner

This is a Minnesota Banner that now is ready to be mailed to my friends in MA tomorrow.

They are planning to decorate two bridges in their local public park the end of next month.

They are collecting 68 of them to do this.

I believe this is the only one banner from Minnesota.

Only one banner, but many people in Minnesota helped me finish weaving!

The youngest weaver was 2 years old!!

There are many colors, characters, textures and warmth.

Thank you for all the people who helped me finish weaving!!

Happy weaving!

South Minneapolis Wool Market

It was held yesterday at the Susan Hensel Gallery.
I had a booth there with 5 other fiber artists.

Thank you for people who tried weaving on a loom I brought there.

The banner everyone tried weaving is now finished and is waiting to be donated to my friend in MA.

She will have an event to decorate bridges with 68 banners in her local park next month.

Yes, this will be one of 68 and I believe this banner is the only banner from Minnesota.

So that's why the banner is "Minnesota Banner".

The youngest person wove on this banner is 2 years old!!

The pictures above are a new vest I put it together for the event yesterday.

My friend Elizabeth tried it on. She came to see me yesterday.

She came to weave with me a whole week a couple of week ago with her daughter and I was working on the piece when they were here at the studio.

It looks very good on her, doesn't it?

ideas, ideas.....

These days, I am weaving and needlefelting.

I started making piereced earrings by needlefelting. It is fun!

It is refreshing for me to do this because I don't need to sit on a loom.

A new yarn/fabric shop will open soon in Stillwater, MN and I sent a couple of dozens of earrings and 15 SAORI scarves a few days ago.

I hope people who come to visit the shop will like them!

A day before, I started making needlefelting "snowmen".

I already made some needlefelting "christmas trees".

Yesterday, I got some grapevine wreaths and gluled a snowmen, stars and a christmas trees on a couple of wreaths.

I will get some bells to go with wreaths.

I love them! They are so cute!!

I am going to make many of them!

Would you like one?
