That would have been completely impossible, since the Normans had not yet ventured into Wales at the time the Bayeux Embroidery (it is definitely not a tapestry) was produced in the 1070s.
Many historians believe that the embroidery was made at Canterbury in Kent, well within the conquered territory and already a centre of embroidery work under the Saxon kings.
Canterbury was also in an area under the control of Bishop Odo of Bayeux, half-brother of William the Conqueror, who was the controlling force behind the production of the embroidery and indeed may have given the finished article its "Bayeux" name. The needlewomen of Canterbury were famous across Europe and Odo had recently become Earl of Kent, so in effect these women worked for him.
