On Sunday the 22nd of May we held a special "Cutting Off"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ceremony and invited a number of key people to be part of the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
ceremony. It was an emotional evening as we reflected on the </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
progress of the tapestry from it's conception to completion.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For many it was a sad time, too as we remembered Beverley,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
our Master Weaver who suddenly and unexpectedly passed </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
away on 26th April 2015. </div>

I added a few stitches as well. The big question was though,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
WHO to weave the last one??</div>

Jackie Addenbrook and Jill Hartles, the Tapestry Chairperson.!<br />

Jackie and her friend Jill Hartles were meeting up with Jill's sister<br />
and they came to check the progress. We ask Jackie if she<br />
would do the honours in weaving the last stitch on the tapestry.<br />

Shari Purdon from Onerahi worked a few rows</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on the tapestry today under the guidance and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
encouragement of volunteer hostess, Annie. </div>

Shari was concerned she would "mess it up"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
which is a common belief from people.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We are glad you gave it a go though, Shari and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
your contribution will be forever woven into</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
this community project!</div>

Sophie, aged 9 years from Cairns, Queensland in Australia was visiting family with her Mum and Dad over the New Year. Her Dad grew up in Whangarei and Sophie had a Grand-friends Day at school where "Nana's" came to spend the day showing the children how to sew and knit and do crafts they learned as a child. Sophie thought the tapestry was amazing!</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #777777; line-height: 24.32px; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">The Blind and Low Vision Education Network NZ (BLENNZ) is a school that is made up of a national network of educational services for children and young people who are blind, deafblind or have low vision in New Zealand. It was wonderful to have this group visit our tapestry and help them to enjoy the weaving experience despite the fact they were sight-impaired or couldn't see at all.</span></span></div>

It's always great to see men having a go at weaving. </div>

Traditionally,it was the men who worked on a tapestry. </div>

It's winter time here in New Zealand but that hasn't stopped the visitors coming in to The BACH to see the Whangarei Community Tapestry Project. As always, it's lovely talking to all those who asre interested in how the tapestry works, how long it's been going and when we think it will be finished. </div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">On the 26th April 2015, our precious and treasured </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Tapestry Master Beverley Compter passed away suddenly</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> after a short and totally
unexpected illness at Auckland Hospital, </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">aged 72 years. She inspired and<span style="background-color: white;"> taught so many people</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> to weave and her work with the Tapestry project was</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> unstinting. It does not seem possible that someone</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="background-color: white;"> so full of life and enthusiasm is gone from us.</span></span></div>

colours.This weaving technique is called "hatching"</div>

have commenced a new weaving project. </div>

When we take them around to the back of the loom,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
they understand how the tapestry is being done. There's</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
always something to talk about with a community project!</div>

Yarn ends and bobbins at the back of the tapestry...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No, they don't "get knotted". We cut them to an</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
inch, and sew up the seams with a fine cotton</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
thread as we go. The compaction of the wefts </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
keeps the ends from unraveling undone.</div>

regular individuals come in to The BACH to see how the</div>

Here she is (front in red) talking to Jason Kena (in green)</div>

and Charmaine Soljak from The Hits Radio about weaving.</div>

Charmaine has had the opportunity to do some cloak weaving</div>

enjoyed conversing with Jean, comparing weaving processes.</div>

Jean Cartwright has been a weaver for a long time and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
has started up a number of wool groups over the years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jean's daughter in law, Helen (taking a photo of the</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
tapestry painting) is from Te Puke and she brought her</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
in to seeing the Community Project but ended up giving </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the "Tapestry Project Talk" to Charmaine and Jason as </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there wasn't a hostess available at the time. How lovely</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to see a member of the community educating another</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
on our wonderful Tapestry Project! Thanks Jean :o)</div>
