It was another busy Sunday at The BACH with lots of visitors calling in to see the tapestry.

 The coloured blocks are coming along..we are awaiting for the next batch of hand-dyed wool and Naoko has been given the privilege of ensuring the triangle blocks work correctly.

 So to ensure the other blocks don't get to high until the triangle blocks are completed, the bobbins are pushed through to the back to keep people from continuing to far.

 

"Good" friends and locals were first in to do a few rows.

 This couple said they were visiting from Melbourne, Australia

 Some more Melbourne-ites! 

 Jan Cook, from Kamo

 Mark is a local and already been in and done a few rows

Good on you, Mark ...it's great to see him back!

 He said he finds it really relaxing way to spend some time.

The wet weather brought lots of people into The BACH to see the Tapestry Project today!

 One of them was Cassius (10) from Whangarei Heads

 Steve, Rachel and their two children who were visiting from Auckland over the weekend stopped in and all had a go on the big loom..

Lovely to see family's working on this project together! 

More "locals" ....Great to see them!

  Also visiting today was Aafje, her younger brother Dylan and their Mum, Chris from Kensington

Aafie is 7 and Dylan, 6 

Aafje was enjoying herself so much she didn't want to leave! I suggest to her Mum that she makes a simple loom, either using card or an old picture frame with nails for the warping. Aafje was VERY HAPPY with that idea! I hope she bring in her weaving creation to share with us when she's done.

It's so awesome to see so many people showing interest in The Whangarei Community Tapestry Project. Thanks for calling in....We hope to see you all again soon!
