It was a quiet tapestry day today with no
volunteers coming in to assist with helping
people interested in having a go a some weaving.
Counter staff step in and explain a little bit
about the community project to those who
seem interested and people are happy to return at a
later stage, when a tapestry assistant is available.
I got talking to these two ladies visiting from Waiheke Island.
Petra Molitor (right) is with the Waiheke Island Spinners and Weavers.
Averil Patterson (nee Adams) looks on with Petra works a few rows.
She said her parents, Bob and Ruth Adams lived at Reyburn House before it was moved to it's present site in 1986, where it is now the home of the Northland Society of Arts and its art collection, as well as being a New Zealand Historic Places Trust Category 2 listing. It is Whangarei’s oldest house and lies beside the Hatea River in the heart of Whangarei and is a gracious, lovingly preserved colonial building.
Thanks for stopping by ladies...come see us again soon!
