Hello everyone,
This is the first of my occasional e-newsletters to former members of MVW and others interested in weaving in the
El Paso/Las Cruces area. If you have news you'd like to share with our weaving community, please let me know and
I'll send it out to everyone. If you don't wish to receive this occasional newsletter, I will be glad to take you off my
distribution list. lbkfiberarts@gmail.com
Feel free to share this with others and I will happily add anyone who would like to receive this to my list.

I'm starting my Painting with Threads tapestry group this week. We will be meeting Wednesdays 1:30 to 3:30
through the middle of December. We are currently meeting on Zoom but hope to meet in person
before the end of the year. If you would like to join us, send me an email.

Here's what's on my loom right now: A twill tapestry entitled Dream Walking.
It measures 22 1/8 wide and have woven 12 inches, about a third of the length.
Hope you all have a great September and that you're all weaving away!
