The Tapestry Hosts have been busy all week working on the hem.
The first black strip has been done too
There's a bit of a mixture of tensions...
...but all in all it's looking good so far!!

We had a number of people coming and having a look at the Tapestry Project over the weekend. One of those was a dad and his son, Max who eager to try weaving on the Children's Loom.
Naoko has been working on the tapestry over the past few days.
Here she is helping Max, who is six years old, weave on the Children's Loom
He picked up the technique really fast and
was so pleased with his efforts so much so that
he went and got his mum and little brother Sam!

Some time later, another family came in to see the tapestry.
The girls were very interested in the project and have a go
on the mini looms too...
Victoria (left) is 13 and her sister, Charlotte is 9 years old.
Lots of concentrating going on here...
Both girls really enjoyed having a go at weaving.
Later, Jill Hartnell arrived with her sister,
husband and niece, Alice from Kawhia.
Jill and Naoko discussing the progress so far.
Alice,15 years old works on one of the mini looms while the adults chat.
It's so good to see children and teens so
enthusiastic about having a go at weaving!
