sharni Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 How do you hang your quilts for display on your walls at home. I would like to use something that will let me change quilts now and then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quilting Heidi Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 I just use a piece of wood slid in the pocket and prop it on a nail head. Works pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffq-lar Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Command hooks are great and allow you to remove and replace them without holes in the walls. They can support the dowel-and-string method or the slat method (where a flat slat is used instead of a dowel and the ends prop onto the inside of the hooks.) My buddy uses a dowel and two fancy wooden brackets used to hold drapery threaded on a metal rod. They are permanent but have a shelf on top where she puts her Jim Shore quilted angel figurines. Very cute! There is also a newer system using flat metal plates with magnets. They are placed on the wall and metal rods thread through the hanging sleeve. The metal rod is attracted to the magnets through the sleeve. This system makes the hanging float--no hardware showing--and switching out is easy and the hangings are very secure. Using an adjustable rod means any size hanging can be used. They also use Command hanging products so there is no damage to the wall and they remove easily.

Marsha Nichols Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 I use a metal curtain slat and slide it in the quilt sleeve. The metal slat has curved edges that sit perfect on a nail or screw. I will attach pics showing part of the slat extending out of the sleeve and another with the slat itself. I like the way the quilt hangs flat on the wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsha Nichols Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Yes this is Stained Glass Garden---block of the month--by Sallie Biggs Pale. I was on vacation in Chama, NM and saw it so I joined the quilt shop's BOM. This was my first quilt. My mom would topstich the black bias as I completed each block and I handquilted the quilt. My mother was recovering from heart surgery and due to complications both legs were ampitated below the knee. She topstitched this quilt while wearing prothetics (I know that is spelled wrong). Sadly she passed away before I recieved the border and quilted it so she did not see the finished quilt. I am thinking about doing another Stained Glass quilt but concentrate on duplicating just the roses and the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shirleyl Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I have a couple hangers that I put up with command hooks and they are magnetized. You just slide a metal rod throught the hanger and hang it. I will have to got downstairs and see if I can find the package for them if anybody wants them.
