how large a quilt are you talking about? hooks in the ceiling, rod on the hooks, sleeve on the rod. down below a heavy rod, sleeve basted to the bottom of the quilt. adjustable to height. when you're through, take everything down except the hooks. voila! that's my french for you. and my tag below.
Merci B mais ça me semble trop de boulot!!! Sorry, that's mean! What I said was thanks but that sounds like too much well, boulot is kind of work, no chore is better. Also, if I had that kind of contraption set up in the house, people might talk! :wink:

IF I was a perfectionist I'd do that but (as you've seen!!!) I'm not so I think I'll stick with wonkies and squoogies!

PS I had noticed your new French signature - I LOVE it, sorry should have commented earlier. I also noticed that you put the old one back again as well! :D :wink:
