What a rich experience! Thank you Phyllis, for documenting and sharing it with us. Here you are once again, creating meaningful connections in the world. I was lucky to learn to weave from you, and I love the leppä leaf!
My mother Tuula Bjork has been weaving on her looms here in NY for over sixty years. She's going to be 82 and she is still weaving. She would be a great story . If interested contact me here. She taught in Finland and she is still A Finnish citizen.
@@FinlandiaFoundationNational her rugs have been in architecture digest. Most of her career she worked for Elizabeth Eakins . But she recently sold her company to a company in Britain. She does contract work for them now. Her work is beautiful. She also knits and makes clothes. I believe her major was textiles. She immigrated to the USA back in the 60s I believe. Anyway. She's a sweetheart and I don't think she gets the recognition she should get because she's in the background making the rugs and not for front selling them. 🙂↕️
Thanks Phyllis and FFN for this presentation. I would be interested in more presentations of this type.

@@liisabjork76 Wonderful! I will do some research on her. I'd love to see her work and learn more. Thanks for the added info.
She's made rugs for Oprah Winfrey to Rob Ryner.
Wow, that is special!
