Our Nautical and Country Risers aren’t just for the stairs. People are coming up with all kinds of interesting spots to hang them. I love it when I’m presented with clever ideas and hooking our riser patterns to hang over doors and windows is a fabulous suggestion, capping off a normally forgotten area with a lively decorative feature. The only downside is looking up to take in these fiber art beauties and tripping over the threshold!
Adena Clark hooked our Compass Rose Riser for her brother’s newly launched boat that he lovingly built from scratch. How wonderful is that? I see the boat sailing by our house and I’m thrilled that one of my designs is in its cabin! Two designs actually, as Adena hooked the riser patterns Wind & Waves we put together as a complete rug; another great suggestion! I’m in the process of finishing the Wind and have already completed the Waves so they will adorn the studio staircase shortly.

So for those of you that don’t have staircases in your one level home, but adore the patterns and groan that they can’t serve you as beautifully as they do my shop steps, here is a way to hook and enjoy your favourite riser design out of the many available.
I’ve always said any item serves more than one purpose; I’m always coming up with ways to reinvent items and add interest to my home, so I adore the idea to hang a riser in areas around the house. One would also look fabulous on a coffee table next to a book or a candle holder, how about a table runner? You name it and it would be a wonderful embellishment for your home. If you can think of other ways to display one of our risers let me know, I’m always interested!
