DITTOES!
During our first quilt show, DGS was helping hang quilts. The group we were working with had the guys climbing ladders to put the rods with the quilts on them into the slings on the stands.
Not only did they have to lift the QUEEN-SIZED quilt once, but the curator hadn't explained the mounting process correctly, so the boys had to take that monster down from the stands, re-work the clamps and then put it back up there.
DGS rarely complains about anything, but he very pointedly said he NEVER wanted to lift another denim quilt again!
One time, I made a car quilt for oldest DS and used upholstery fabric behind the denim pants ... he told me that the first time he used it, he was concerned that he wouldn't be able to get it off of himself in an emergency ... on the good side, if a strong wind ever came up, he knew he wasn't going to get blown away!
