Sue R entered this perfect little purse in the Nevada County Fair. I haven't heard if she won any prizes with her entry, but this gem certainly deserved a blue ribbon. The front of the purse shows the flower done in knotted pile. The back is a plain weave extension of the knotted pile front. The band is cardwoven. A tour de force of craftsmanship and attention to detail.
Betsy shared a couple of her handwoven scarves with the group at the last meeting. On the same warp, she wove a table runner and beat it harder so that it would be a firmer piece for the table. This was given as a wedding gift (lucky couple), so we don't have the benefit of seeing it here. Isn't it amazing what can be done on a single warp!

Here is an update on Sue Robertson's little knotted pile purse with the cardwoven band. It did win a first place prize at the Nevada County Fair!
