Hanging it
The wild garden belongs above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard, almost as wide as the furniture beneath it. There is no sleeve or rod pocket. Sew hook-and-loop tape along the top edge and mount the matching strip on a wooden batten. Clip rails suit it as well, or a tailor can sew on a rod casing.
Something new each time
It is the kind of piece that shows you something new every time you look, because the weaver fills every gap freehand. The irises, succulents and hidden birds are all worked in plant-dyed wool.
