CGQC January Tag

Kelly has tagged the Charming Girls Quilt Club to tell how we display quilts. (check out her blog because her photo's are great!) I am not so imaginative in my quilt displays, but after looking at what others are doing~ I'm gathering ideas! ;-)

I have quilts on all the beds, the back of the couch, and table toppers and table runners on the tables. I only have one set of quilted placemats though, I need to work on that! ;-) I do have a few good spots for displaying a quilt. We live in an old house and this is the upstairs railing. It's fun to hang a quilt from the rail and see it every time I go up/down the stairs. :-)

I also have an adjustable curtain rod in the hall. I can hang small quilts, seasonal things, or multiple little quilts on it. I took this photo last fall, but you get the idea.

Sorry my photo's are kind of dark~ its a gloomy day. :-o
Be sure to check the list of quilters on Kelly's blog and see how everyone else decorates. You will be inspired too! :-)

Until next time~
Happy Stitchin'!

Wish I had a stairs to display mine like yours. I am pretty boring with my quilts.

This post is right up my alley. Thank you for the heads-up. I linked to a BHG site with a slide show on displaying quilts at my Quilted Home blog. One of my favorite pics was of using quilts to upholster chair seats and sofas with quilts. The "Quilt in a Cup" company has a kit or pattern.... showing you how to use a quilt block as a chair seat.

I like the adjustable curtain rod idea!

I would love to have a railing like you do - it's perfect for hanging beautiful quilts like yours.

Oh my, what a great idea with the adjustable curtain rod with "hangies". I LOVE that idea and might just take you up on that one.........once I make some things to hang from it...LOL

I am not very imaginative...but I really don't like to display them here, they start to mold...infact, need to go and get the ones I do have out and put them away or wash them....

Love what you have done.

I wish I had stairs too! I really like how you used the curtain rod - very nice!

I have a curtain rod above my stairs that I use for one single quilt. I love that you have hung several smaller ones.

I will have to look for one of those curtain rods - that is very clever! Love all the quilts shown, too!

B-r-r-r-r

Who knew that having a Halloween Hop last week would bring the chilly weather?! We had rain, wind--- the power even went out for a few hours...
