How does the patchwork look?
It is a grid of vivid printed and embroidered squares in pink, green, orange and white, with floral and paisley patches throughout, all framed by a navy edge band. The dark border pulls the bright squares together and gives the piece a clear outline.
Does a dark-edged piece work on a light wall?
Very well. The navy edge gives it a defined frame, so on a white, cream or pastel wall it looks like a hung artwork. As a tablecloth, the navy border outlines the table top neatly and lets the bright squares sit in the centre.
Is it a wall hanging or a tablecloth?
Both. You get one cotton piece that can be hung on a wall or laid on a table. You can switch between the two as you like, for example spreading it on the dining table for a while and putting it back on the wall after.
Can I wash it at home?
Yes, gently by hand with a mild detergent, though dry cleaning is the preferred option. Always wash it separately from other laundry and dry it in the shade rather than out in the sun.
Is a custom version possible?
It is, at an additional cost. Keep in mind that every piece is handmade, so a custom order will have its own patch arrangement and the small irregularities that come with handwork, while the overall colour stays similar.
Where in the house does it work best?
It suits a large blank wall in the living room, the wall behind a bed or sofa, or an entrance passage. As a tablecloth it can dress a dining or centre table. Place it where it is seen from a little distance so the full patchwork shows.
