I recently did a one day workshop with some Kurdish refugee familes. The mother with the carpet had hand knotted every tuft, and her son (left) had a go at spinning with my wheel, as mum had only ever used a drop spindle. When mum tried, she couldn't get the treadling at all, so we did a duet!
The three girls really enjoyed their attempts at hand quilting. The two on the left (Zhyan and Bayan) completed four squares each, and Zhian on the right finished six! When I wanted to take their photos, all three pairs of hands when straight to their scarves to make sure they were adjusted.
