Today a few of us put up the tapestries from the
AuNZ online tapestry group at the
Handweavers and Spinners Guild. The tapestries drew many admiring comments from the many guild members present. I must admit, I was overjoyed to be able to see them in actuality when they arrived last week.
There were more this year, so we had to arrange them differently. As usual, it was great to see the different interpretations people had on the theme. The colours are wonderful too.
We laid them out how we thought they would look best together, pinned the names on them and then pinned them on the boards, making many decisions about how to put them up as we went.
Despite them being on display already, the official 'opening' is at midday next Saturday. I look forward to catching up with some of the weavers.
Our small group that meets at the guild rooms on a monthly basis has its own challenge - Buildings. The last board in the gallery has our responses to that as well as a 'work in progress' - partly to show how tapestry weaving is done, partly because I didn't get it done in time.

I reckon people will enjoy seeing a work in progress.
I hope so. I amazes whenever a member of the Handweavers and Spinners guild turns out not to know much about weaving - there seems to be a very strong spinning, knitting and crocheting group. So we get lots of questions about how it works, hence the idea of putting in an unfinished work.
