Quilt Hangers For Your Home Displays

By Eliza Mendoza


Using quilt hangers to display your finesse with a needle will give you and your family a piece of art to view in your home every day. The satisfaction you receive from being able to look at your craftsmanship is well worth the price of this tool. Everyone will love the look and your creative piece will be safe from wear and tear.

Most quilt hangers are made of wood, some of which have unique designs cut or carved into the hard surface. They are available in many sizes to fit king, queen and full-size quilts. There are also smaller hangers for miniature quilts or baby-sized covers. Custom-made models are available for odd-shaped or sized items.

Most use compression and have knobs across the length to hold the edges of the coverlet down and secure it between front and back wooden boards. Others are a rod style where the coverlet is folded and draped over the rod. A pocket can also be sewn at the top edge of the quilt so the rod can run through it and it can be hung so the entire design can be viewed.

Narrow shelves top some of these hangers. This is an excellent place to display family heirlooms, plates, photos or small pieces of artwork. Others may have a rod that swings out, making it easy to change to different pieces when desired.

Be sure to place your handiwork where the sun will not fade or weaken the fabrics. Suggestions to hang the coverlet would include over a couch, on a large, bare wall, above a fireplace, over a bed, or suspended from a high ceiling. You can even choose your furniture and accessory colors to match the display or vice versa.

Be sure to place the display where small fingers and pets cannot reach it. Hang it high so they will not be able to stain or damage it or pull it down. Avoid areas such as kitchens and around craft tables so they do not get soiled or spattered with foods and paint.

These hangers can also be utilized for many other displays. Other decorative items which can be used on these frames include tapestries, fabric art, weaving, Asian coverlets, baby blankets, Navajo blankets or Persian rugs. Paint or stain the holder to match the special items displayed.

They make great and thoughtful gifts for the craftsmen among your friends and family. What a wonderful way to display the different patterns and designs they create. Be sure to order the one that is the correct size for their distinct work.

Quilt hangers allow you to enjoy the fruits of your hard work or effectively display an heirloom that has been handed down in your family. They do not require holes to be punched in the edges or damage of any kind. Using these to display your works of art will give you a deep sense of pride and a creatively decorated wall or area for years to come.
