The studio is located in a beautiful 1790's Federal home, on the coastal Pemaquid pennisula. The weaving studio and shop is cozy in the winter and cool in the summer. I enjoy meeting customers as they drop in during the day.

The early patterns are the foundation of my knowledge and techniques. I still love weaving the classics and now have branched out with my own personal style.
In the late 1970’s, I was a young mother living on an island north of Seattle, Washington. My husband, Andy, was in Alaska fishing for months at a time. Long stretches of time and solitude allowed me to focus on my weaving.
After moving back east, Andy began his career as a full time blacksmith. We traveled together to craft shows, featuring early Americana. My work centered on textiles, with Early American inspired patterns. It was a rich time in our lives, meeting other craftspeople and exchanging wares and stories. We were featured in the magazines "Colonial Homes","Country Living" and "Country Home".
"Phyllis! The rug is BEAUTIFUL! I will be admiring it...for a very long time. Thank you! Thank you for your wonderful skills! I LOVE this rug!"
My husband, Andy Leck, operates the Scottish Wrought Iron blacksmith shop, just steps away from my weaving studio. Our son Zackarya practices the blacksmith art in the state of Washington and our daughter, Annie, established the Barn Door Baking Company in Damariscotta, Maine.
