Well, I have finished the tapestry. I was too late to post it to the Bendigo Wool Show but, all being well, I will be able to deliver it by hand (car trip) on Monday the 11th. 

It has taken me ages!! But I shouldn't be surprised, tapestry weaving is slow. I also spent about 4 hours finishing it off. First braiding the warps, then sewing them down, then sewing a backing on. I am very slow at this - probably don't do enough tapestries to practise. 

I am relatively happy with the braiding, only a couple of spots that are not quite right but I have done it tightly for a change. 

I kept taking photos of the progress, partly to check that I had actually made any (progress, that is). Sometimes it is hard to see because things are slow. One part of the tapestry was a lot slower because it was vertical weaving, which is slower as you can't do one part till the nearby parts are done. 

However, the top part was mostly horizontal which is generally faster. But I was at the end and tried to use up the bits of wool I had on bobbins, making the decision-making more complicated. But it is done!!

My photography is about on a par with my even weaving, it isn't as crooked as it looks here.
