Here are more Nevada County fair entries. The previous post had information about Wendy-Marie's Ferris Wheel scarf. In addition she entered a bag and Mobius shawl and contributed to two collaboration bags made from bands. She also submitted a rug.
The bag was made from a tapestry piece by Wendy-Marie. She used yardage from Beryl - both handwoven and commercially made (the lining is recycled from a kimono) and a kumihimo band.

| Mobius Shawl |
The Mobius shawl was woven using rayon chenille for warp and weft and ribbon in a plain weave pattern. Once woven, it a seam was sewn to attach the ends.
Wendy-Marie's last piece is a rug. She wove this as part of a class with Jason Collingwood. It's a first place winner.

Marcy added several piece in the Fair as well. She had a baby blanket, two towels and a scarf.
The blanket was a mix warp. There was a little boucle sparkle that gives it a little shine. She also entered a scarf that is woven in a twill design in wool.
