2025 Fairbanks Fiber Arts Festival: October 10, 11, & 12! Yay! I have been selected as a vendor at the 10th annual Fairbanks Fiber Arts Festival! I love attending this fair every October, and this year I get to share my love of weaving with visitors.
Come see me at the Interlace booth, and visit other artists, too. You may be tempted to purchase a woven scarf, blanket, table runner, or a set of coasters!
Thank you! to everyone who visited me at my booth during the 2025 Fiber Arts Festival! I enjoyed meeting the guests and demonstrating weaving. It was fun getting the chance to teach interested guests the art of weaving as well.
If you purchased a woven item from me during this weekend, thank you! It is much appreciated! I did receive a notification from Square for any of you who used a credit card to purchase an item: the company recommended I share this paragraph: ” Square has alerted us to a disruption with a bank partner that prevented some Visa payments and refunds processed between October 7 – October 19, 2025 from being reflected in a customer’s balance and bank statements. Those transactions are being processed, and the bank partner is working to restore normal visibility as quickly as possible. Please contact your card issuing bank for more information.“
Tanana Valley State Fair: Very sadly, I was not able to participate in the Fair this year after all.
- My goal for 2026 is to submit twice as many items as I did in 2022 (for a total of eight items). I have all year to weave towards this goal!
2024
Tanana Valley State Fair: I did not participate in the Fair this year due to the time I spent saving my father’s life (I was the only available caretaker during/after his kidney transplant).
2023
Tanana Valley State Fair, Fairbanks, Alaska: 28 July-6 August 2023
- Blue Ribbon: Division A, Class 1 — Clothing/Scarf: Zucchini Rows, with 100% baby alpaca warp and weft, which helped create a super-soft texture with the “garden path crackle weave” pattern, from Marguerite Porter Davidson’s A Handweaver’s Pattern Book (ninth printing, 1971), combined with the skipped dent technique.
- Blue Ribbon: Division C, Class 4 — Woven Household Goods/Towels: Waffle & Twill Towel Set, with 100% cotton warp and weft. This bright set of three cloths is based on a design by Sue Anne Sullivan.
- Blue Ribbon & Don’t Go Bacon My Heart Theme Award: Division D, Class 1 — Decorative Weavings/Miniature: Cheeky Pig, self-designed pattern, with cotton seine twine warp and 100% wool weft. My 1st experiment making a figure using tapestry techniques.
2022
Tanana Valley State Fair, Fairbanks, Alaska: 29 July-7 August 2022
- First Place: Division C, Class 1 — Woven Household Goods/Blanket: Purple Honeycomb Sparkle, blanket, pattern designed by Sarah Resnick, with warp of 100% 4/8 Brassard cotton (‘natural’) & weft of Caron Crystal Cakes 64% acrylic, 24% polyester, 7% nylon, 5% metallic yarn (‘dusk’ and ‘amaranth’), hemstitched, regular fringe. The waffle weave technique blends with the two distinct fibers to give the blanket a delightfully cozy 3-dimensional look and feel.
- First Place & Class Champion: Division A , Class 1 — Woven Clothing/ Scarf: Deflected Doubleweave Scarf, pattern designed by Elizabeth Springett, with warp & weft of 100% silk noil (‘denim’) and 100% cotton (‘licorice’), hemstitched, twisted fringe. I love how the deflected doubleweave technique creates a fabric with both a visual pattern and a 3-D-esque texture. The two similar sides of the scarf each have a distinctive look, making this a fun reversible scarf to wear.
- First Place & Class Champion: Division D, Class 1 — Decorative Weavings/Miniature: Heart Balloon, self-designed pattern, with warp of 100% 4/8 Maysville cotton (‘white’) & weft of yarns pulled from my leftover knitting yarn stash. This is my first venture into lap-loom tapestry weaving and I experimented with different weaving and binding-off techniques. Currently a decorative hanging, this piece may eventually become half of a cute over-the-shoulder bag for a young girl.
- First Place, Class Champion, & Sheepherder in Paradise Theme Award: Class 3— Table Linen: Helianthus Blooms Shifting in the Sun, table runner designed using the ‘Berea Sunflower’ pattern from Marguerite Porter Davidson’s “A Handweaver’s Pattern Book”, with warp & weft of 2/12 worsted spun wool (warp colors: ’daffodil’, shades 1&2, and ‘marigold’, shades 1&2; weft colors: ‘tangerine’, shades 1&2, and ‘cayenne’, shades 1&2), hemstitched, regular fringe. The pattern’s large overshot technique delineates the shape of the flowers, creating a design that is mirrored on the fabric’s reverse side. Blending the graduated tones at the transition between each red, orange, and yellow helps give the idyllic impression that living sunflower blossoms are following the path of the sun.
Each item is individually woven and one-of-a kind. Each item’s personality will naturally change over time through loving use and laundering.
