A tall, narrow wall hanging that sits the way a banner does, long and uninterrupted, in deep linen blue. The proportions are about three times taller than wide, the kind of shape that works well on a thin strip of wall beside a doorway, in a stairwell, or above a chest of drawers.
Elyn pieces the linen blocks on the machine and quilts the layers by hand. The binding is hand-finished, the way a quilter from the Bauhaus textile rooms would have done it. The batting is unbleached cotton.
The hanging carries a dowel sleeve across the top so a length of wooden dowel, roughly 30 cm long, will let it sit flat against the wall. The dowel itself is not included, but a hardware shop will cut one to size in a couple of minutes.
This is a single, finished piece. The composition will not be remade.

Elyn Middleton works from her living room in Sheffield, sewing patchwork quilts and wall hangings out of fine linen. The drawings on her sketchbook come from post-war architecture; the names she keeps coming back to are Anni Albers and Sophie Taeuber-Arp.
