Saturday 15th February 2014

Wenjie Dong from Auckland (originally from 
Shanghai, China) is married to a "Kiwi" and 
 came up to Whangarei for a family wedding.
 Wenjie was really happy to have the opportunity
 to try tapestry weaving and she hopes to 
come back again before the project is finished.

 Piper Mortimer from Kamo, Whangarei - aged 13.
This was here second time weaving as she came 
earlier on in the project when it was just past 
the black and white checkered squares.
Piper thinks weaving is a lot of fun and loves doing it1
 Vevee Mortimer (Piper's Mum) thinks the community tapestry
is a wonderful project and great that the public can take part.
 Vevee wished she was "faster" at weaving but believes
 she has improved with practice. She and daughter Piper 
always look forward to seeing how much progress has 
been made and loves seeing the tapestry develop.

 The letter E has been started....

...and the boat sheds are nearly completed!
