Kathrin Weber taught a class to our weaving guild, the "Southern Nevada Handweavers and Spinners Guild, Inc.", also called "Las Vegas Fiber Arts Guild" on November 6-7, 2010.  I wove my piece in a Rep Weave.    I  decided to make a doll and give her a Rep Weave skirt and then needle felted her head and made a needle felted baby for her to hold.

"Handwoven Magazine" has so many opportunities to learn.  One of them is their http://weavingtoday.com . I decided to join their "Weave-Along" and weave a Block Twill.  I love to make dolls so I created "Amy".  She is wearing her block twill dress.  I needle felted her head and the flower that she is holding.
"MAURINE THE BATON TWIRLER" is a doll that I designed.  I wove her skirt on my peg loom, needle felted her head and needle and then wet felted the baton that she is holding.  I decided to name her after me since I still enjoy twirling my baton.

BILL THE BROWN BEAR -  I needle felted "BILL" with a merino mix fleece.  Shown are a front and a side view of this brown bear.
NEEDLE FELTED BEARS -  I've been asked to teach a
NEEDLE FELTING A BEAR class to the Las Vegas Silver
Dollers Doll club on September 3, 2011.  This is a sampling
of the kind of bear that they will be making.
"SUNSHINE THE NEEDLE FELTED PANDA" -  "Sunshine" is a needle felted panda that I created.  He enjoys looking at everyone that walks by.

CHUCKY THE DALMATION - I needle felted this dog using Romney fleece.  He is busy howling at something he sees.
G THE MONKEY -  "G the Monkey" started out as a bear but ended up looking like a monkey.  I guess he felt that I had too many needle felted bears in my house and decided to be special and became a cute and bright colored monkey.
"TINA THE MOMMA BEAR" - "Tina" is all set to go out with her friends . She is wearing her favorite hat and is holding her matching pocketbook.  She even put matching buttons on the front of her body.
"PATTI AND BETH THE GOLDEN RETRIEVERS" -  I needle felted these momma and baby Golden Retriever dogs using Romney fleece.  I used little round black beads for the center of their eyes and put a drop of white paint in the center of each bead to give their eyes a "sparkle of life".
"Mr. "G" THE NEEDLE FELTED MUSCLEMAN" - This is a closeup of Mr. "G" my needle felted muscleman.
"GEDALYA AND HIS WORKOUT PARTNER, MR. "G" -  I needle felted. Mr. "G" to be a workout partner for my grandson, Gedalya.  Mr."G" wants to be big and strong like Gedalya so he's lifting his needle felted weights.  I named him Mr. "G" because people who can't pronounce Gedalya call him "G". 
The Sun City Quilt Guild will be having a holiday party this December.  Two to three members of the Embellishment Group (E-Belles) are each assigned a table to decorate.  I said that I would make a centerpiece for the table that I'm assigned to.  I decided to needle felt a Santa Claus.  This is what I created.
Joanne Tallarovic taught a class to the Las Vegas Fiber Arts  Guild on September 16-18, 2011 on Rep Weave.  I told Joanne that I would make a doll and dress her in the fabric that I  wove using the techniques that I learned in her class and I would name this doll after her.

The weaving pattern for Joanne's dress is called "Desert Rose".   She is an all cloth doll with a needle felted face.   She is carrying a basket filled with fleece.
