Another colour choice for our red striped warp, first seen in the January blog post, woven by Linda of North Peace Spinners and Weavers.  This is Linda's very first weaving.  She is loving the weaving and doing such a good job!  We are so proud of her work. 

Rene's tapestry. "I was inspired by the glorious colours in fall as I walked through the woods."

Rene's spindle bag is made by Spry Whimsy Fiber Arts - Peter and Ingrid McMasters - Stoughton WI
