LOL Polly! So you accidentally wandered off into wallhanging world eh? See, it's not sooooo scary! And your creation sounds absolutely fabulous! (Where are the pics, btw?)
When you're ready to hang it, if it is of any size, I found the best way to do that (and I can't claim credit because some nice gal here on RTCQ told me what to, bless her) is to buy a curtain rod with clips and simply attach the rod to the wall and hang your wallhanging by the clips. One thing though, the hardware that came with my rod would have put the rod out too far from the wall, so we had to devise something else for that (IIRC, the rod is sitting on heavy nails).
Okey-dokey--now the pics????
