What a great idea! I do a lot of wallhanging quilts and will definitely try this. Thank you for sharing.

Go to this website to see a magnetic hanging system...just costs more than what is shown in these postings but there are no nails in the wall.

This is what I do. You hang the dowel that is inside the pocket on the two nails. Works beautifully.

For a small quilt I sew small plastic curtain rings on the corners of the quilt and then put through pins or small nails in the wall.

Maggiemay,
love your sleeve idea for hanging things. Will have to try it.

I've never seen this but I like it! Thanks for sharing.

Be careful with those. I've had similar things take the paint (and sometimes pieces of the drywall) right off the wall when I took it down. We have real wood paneling in our living room so I couldn't use that-it would peel the varnish right off the wood.

That's a great idea and I really like the looks.

I did the curtain rod ring thing with a larger wall hanging, but I actually just used a 1" dowel and put those balls w/ one flat side on each end (I put the rings on the dowel before gluing the balls on) and then use two nails in the wall to rest the dowel on. DH is very anal about putting nails in studs and never using anchors if possible and this way, he could put the nails wherever he wanted because the rod just rests on them-so it can be slid back and forth quite a bit.

I wanted to hang a 2 x 3 foot quilted wall hanging in my office and wasn't sure whether it was okay to put nails, etc. into the walls. I found some 3M Command removable hangers that are designed to keep computer/electrical cords out of the way and attached to a wall or baseboard. I put a dowel in a sleeve on the back of the quilt then slipped the dowel into the removable Command hangers. Worked like a charm. Think I am going to do this at home so I can move things around whenever I want with no marks on the wall.
