The "N.W. Weavers Study Group of Las Vegas" meets at my home the first Saturday of each month. Each month we discuss different weaves and decide what we would like to weave at home for the next month.
New samplers will be added as we complete our study group projects.
SAMPLER 1
Maurine's sampler of little figures
Maurine's sampler - Eventually this sampler will be the clothing for one of the dolls that I will make.
We went to the Weavepoint program on my computer and designed some little patterns. We also checked some of our weaving books for designs too.

We decided to select the pattern "Warp-and Weft-Faced Lampas", pages 101-103 from the book "The Best of Weaver's - Thick 'n Thin" edited by Madelyn van der Hoogt. These are the samples that we made from this pattern.
