The sunflowers in this sunflower field and geese tapestry turn every way, face-on, in profile and half-closed, with swifts wheeling above and a pair of geese in the grass below.

Hanging it
The tall format suits a narrow wall, a hallway, or the space beside a doorway or a staircase. There is no sleeve or rod pocket on the back. For a 57 x 41 in panel, hook-and-loop tape along the top and a wooden batten on the wall give an even hang; a clip rail or a rod casing sewn by a tailor are other choices.
Woven freehand
Each sunflower head is built up in handspun wool over a cotton warp with nothing drawn behind it, so every one has its own angle. Both ends finish in a knotted fringe.
