Here's an update of where were at, at the end of 2014:
The Letter N in WHANGAREI is almost completed and
the boats above OUR PLACE are being worked on.
The water is a wonderful blend
of many shades of blue wool...
..and work has commenced on the sun's reflection
on the water. An exciting mix of yellow and gold
gives the sun's "glow" radiance and glimmer.
A closeup of the boats on the water..
..and a photo showing the detail of the sun's reflection.
On Christmas Eve we had a returning visitor from the UK.
Catherine Davis had first seen our tapestry in May 2013.
It was fabulous that she made a point of
calling in again to see the progress!
