Greg Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 Yesterday we were successful in our second "outing" of showing quilts on our new display frames at the Mt. Bachlor Quilt Guild's annual Quilt Show in Bend, Oregon. But in an ever continuous attempt to make life easier, I'm looking for other Outside Display Frames ideas, techniques, and designs and would like to share mine. I've attached a picture of the assembly at the Sisters Quilt Show in July (our initial trial).You can email me or reply in this threadgreg@lhoti.com TIA:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Posted August 22, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 You can see we are pinning the quilts to sheets in which a "sleeve" has been sewn and the top PVC has been slipped into during assembly. I'm trying to come up with a "clamping" system instead of pinning. Ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LindaSusieQuilts Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 How about those large clips you get at the office supply places? Butterfly clips? they are black with silver fold away handles? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Posted September 6, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2004 Thanks Linda & Cynthia. I will look into those. Our guild pres has since told me it took 3 women, 2 hours to "pre-pin" 44 quilts to both sides of 22 sheets and was an effective use of time. Sounds like clamping is not the big deal I thought it was at first. All 130 guild members were happy with the preformance of our quilt frames. They withstood 20-25 mph wind gusts quite well. I doubt they would do as well in Florida these past weeks.....pour souls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
