Like a Vampire, I’ve always made it a habit to protect my quilts from the sun; which meant they were never seen throughout the house… too sunny! I used to store them in the top of my studio closet. Up there, they were safe from the ultraviolet light!
Our home here in Georgia backs to a wooded area and the house doesn’t get a lot of direct sunlight. Now I can finally display my quilts in every room of the house!!!
I couldn’t make up my mind on how to display my craft. I lived on Pinterest and in magazines for weeks searching for the right setup for me. I looked at all sizes of display ladders, but nothing worked for my space.
I saw a picture of a curio cabinet and that got me thinking… use a sofa table! I hate to see the back of a sofa, it looks naked! Our sofa is a L-shaped sectional, so I bought two sofa tables for each side!
Added plants and family photos… and Walla!
Here are some smaller wall hangings in my studio…
These last two (Rescue and Bearing Fruit) are art pieces I purchased from fiber artist, Valerie White; these pieces remind me of my girls. She does beautiful work! Visit her website (valeriecwhite.com).
Rescue, displayed in the upstairs hall…
Bearing Fruit, displayed in the foyer…
Make room for your quilts! Pull them out of the closet and find ways to show, share and use them everyday!
Happy quilting,
Jennifer

I like your display solutions, your quilts look happy to be shared. Mine stay folded, front side in, til ready to be used. I need more room!
