Felt at Convergence 2008

Here is a list of the felt pieces from the exhibits at Convergence 2008 held in Tampa. It is possible to buy a CD with pictures of the exhibits from Handweaver's Guild of America. However I just went to their site www.weavespindye.org and it wasn't listed yet in their online store. You could give them a call or email if you're interested. (1-678-730-0010 hga@weavespindye.org) I have noted award winners when I knew them. I didn't know them for each exhibit.
