Question of the Week
Question for the week of October 7, 2002:
Our question this week comes Anne Marie
Especially for smaller wall-hangings, what innovative methods [besides
traditional rods/casings, manufactured clips, brackets, and similar items]
are people using to hang quilts on walls?
Jan :
For my smaller quilts I use double sided tape from Scotch. I works well when you place numerous pieces of tape on the bottom and top without hurting the walls!
Jerrilyn :
Replying to question about ways to hang smaller quilts.When making a binding for my wall hanging, I miscalculated and cut about 20" too much fabric. I decided to cover the top of a wire coathanger (scrunchie style). I just seperated the bottom of the hanger with wire cutters and inserted a dowel for the correct width of the hanging. Looks really cute. You can either bend the top of the hanger forming a circle or cut it off.
Carol :
I wish Marsha would come back and explain further. It sounds interesting!
Louise in Canada :
I made tabs our of fabric that matched the outside border and binding of the quilt--like tab-top curtains. I just cut pieces about 4" x 6", folded right sides together and stitched lengthwise. I basted them to the back side of the quilt--easy to remove later if I want to. I made enough to put one tab about every 10-12". I hung the quilt on a pretty wooden rod. It looks good.

Marsha :
A primitive, or cutter quilt remnant can be hung from a branch with raffia or wire (curled around rods)and old buttons. A really cute country look.
