Hi Gail

It arrived today! It's truly amazing! My wife loves it.
 ......there is a line in the stitching in one corner which looks a little out of place.....what is it?

( I believe what you are referring to is the Spirit Line.  Some weavers when they put their best effort into a weaving Weave a small line to the edges of the weaving so their spirit can escape the weaving.  Navajo weaving is a spiritual practice for the weavers.  In legend they were taught by Spider Woman to weave, and at Canyon de Chelly there is a very tall thin towering rock (as tall as a sky scraper) they call Spider Rock.)

Thanks for the explanation, very interesting.  Photo attached. I hung it directly on the wall!
