This spring flowers and birds tapestry is a meadow in full bloom from edge to edge, tall spring flowers rising through the panel and small birds flying across the top.

Hanging it
This meadow is made for the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard. It has no sleeve or rod pocket. The neatest method is hook-and-loop tape stitched along the top edge, with the other half on a wooden batten. A clip rail also works, as does a rod casing sewn on by a tailor.
Plant-dyed wool
The wool is coloured with natural plant dyes. The weaver works the meadow freehand, so this flower tapestry has its own arrangement of stems and birds.
