I think they would have worked beautifully as a triptich, which I have found out lately is a very difficult thing to achieve harmoniously. You've mounted this one imacuuatley on the canvas, it works beautifully . How absolutely outrageous , Kim and Wanda, I hope other poeple's insensitivity hasn't put you off exhibiting.

Sorry I have been remiss about responding to your comments. Kim and Wanda, wow, what an outrage. I hope you were able to turn those experiences into an opportunity to educate those galleries on the nuances of textile art. That's what our medium requires – constant education and advocacy to the world at large. Thanks, everyone. Sorry I have been remiss about responding to your comments.

Maybe you do your own to match the size of your pieces. Anyway they look great like that. I think it helps the audience take them more seriously as art. I have had my pieces used as table toppers in a gallery setting too and I felt it was very demeaning.

This method works so well for your pieces. Even your smaller pieces still have such an airiness about them that they don't feel small. I laughed when I read of the potholder/placemat situation. The last gallery I was in used my pieces as display mats for other artists' work. Thanks so much for sharing your hanging techniques. This method works so well for your pieces.

But now that I see yours done this way, it looks more sophisticated. But your work always does!
