Photo of a fabric wall hanging. The background is a rectangular piece of off-white fabric, upon which are layered geometric shapes in navy blue and dark red. The shapes are sewed to the background with an intentionally visible white running stitch. It is hanging from a wooden post with large blue tabs.

Wall hanging

After watching a lot of The Great Interior Design Challenge I was inspired to make something to hang on my living room wall that coordinated with my couch. (Unfortunately, neither the couch nor the wall hanging particularly coordinates with the wall itself, since our apartment walls are yellower than I’d like and we’re not allowed to paint them…)

Originally when I decided to do this, I thought it would be a quick project, but I’d forgotten how much slower hand-sewing is than using a machine, so in the end I worked on this off and on for several months. I’m pretty satisfied with the results though!
