I'll have a couple of tapestries in this show. I must confess that I did not know that the theme was "Red." Whoops. The Continental Club is on South Elm St., Greensboro, NC, USA. just south of the Gate City Blvd intersection.

Here's a hint at what's next on the Mirrix tapestry loom.

Here's a hint at what's next on the Mirrix tapestry loom.
My mother was one swell looking dame. I think she was around 18 yo here. She would have been 102 yo today. There was a time when I thought she might make it to 100+ years old. She was tough as nails and an outrageous flirt. If Betty White had been a religious Southern Baptist...that's Mama.

This week I have been doing finishing work on the tapestries I cut off and I began this one. I'm playing with the colors and light outlining. It will probably be a sample. I've been working on this abstracted design of a train platform in Edinburghfor nearly a year now. #tapestry #weaving #handwoven

Weaving the bottom of the tapestry vessel. This is the 1st time I've used double half hitch knots on edges, woven a shaped tapestry on this type of loom, & used all linen weft on linen warp. I often dislike weaving large areas with one yarn, but this is soothing during these chaotic times. #tapestry

I came very close to finishing this part today but I should finish in the morning. Then I'll weave the bottom of the vessel at home. The design inspiration was a photo I took of a lock in Scotland. A loch lock! #tapestry #handwoven #weaving

Today's work/play in Betty Hilton-Nash's sculptural tapestry class at the Yadkin Valley Fiber Center in Elkin, NC. First one is mine at about 7 pm tonight. I'm about 2/3 finished with the weaving part. The next photo is one of my classmates' work. #tapestry #handwoven #weaving #woventapestry

In today's sculptural tapestry class with Betty Hilton-Nash at The Yadkin Valley Fiber Center in Elkin, NC, we are experimenting and playing with various fibers to make tapestry vessels. I hope to finish mine by the end of the weekend, during our Tapestry Weavers South retreat. #tapestry #handwoven

I made myself wait to share progress on the tapestry weather diary until today so that I could show the whole month of May, a super rainy month. I made some different design decisions to make it a bit less chaotic. 2nd photo shows Jan-April panel. #tapestry #handwoven #weaving #weatherdiary

I've known about "cleavers" for years but I've never been tempted to harvest them. After seeing several UK herbalist posts about"sticky weed" water, I decided to gather and steep it in the fridge. I could use a spring tonic. www.statesman.com/story/news/2...

Hands Off Rally in Greensboro, NC. Hundreds, certainly over a thousand people. Started getting here early and still filing in. Cars and trucks honking as they go by.
