I’m finally using some of the fabrics I created in the natural dye course from @maiwaschooloftextiles. I’m not sure how this will turn out but I’m liking it so far.

Wonderful exhibit at the Bryggens Museum of the lifelong tapestry project by Norwegian weaver Ragna Breivik. She dyed her own wools with natural dyes. The tapestries are spectacular. And…there are trolls.

Just finished making the Sanda jacket. I made the quilted fabric and then put it all together. I washed it and that softened and crinkled up everything. I had to make hand-stitched buttonholes.

WIP mosaic tables: Steve put a bent wood rim around the top of the tables. As I started to apply the grout I remembered to add blue painters tape to protect those beautiful teak edges.
