Just wondering how many folks have a quilt (display) rack, and if you made it or bought it. I found one at a local indoor flea market with no price and can't get the owner to return my call on a price. I might just have to make one. I downloaded instructions just in case.
|
I have a wooden one that my brother made and gave me as a Christmas gift several years ago.
|
I have been looking for one also - I need someway to display my quilts.
|
I have an oak one my DH made, very basic & well used. I also have a metal one that a friend used for towels previously, also well used.
|
You might also try looking for saddle racks. Some of them are nice wooden ones.
|
Yes I have a oak one I dearly love.
|
I use antique ladders. One is about 10 feet high and the other one was a bunk-bed ladder. Works well for me.
|
I have a mahogany quilt rack in my guest bedroom (matches my antique bed) & an old orchard ladder in my sewing room that I am using as a quilt rack..
|
I have a white metal one given to me by one of my daughters recently. It's rather interesting, but I'm having trouble finding a place in the house for it.
|
I have 2. One I got as a wedding shower gift from my mom's friends and the other was from Joann's but it was on clearance so I think I got it for about $20... it was the last one too...
|
i have a wall-mounted one. got it years ago and have not found the right place to put it on the wall. LOL

Dang I just saw 2 of them at good will! That is where I got mine a few years ago. Guess I should have bought them and resold on here!
|
I use the railing at the top of the stairs and the chairs that sit in the corners of the room that are never used for sitting!
|
I use antique ladders...Also have something similar that's in the photo that I found antiqueing...I also hang curtain rods on the walls and then use the curtain clips to hang special quilts and switch out now and again...
|
I have 2 quilt racks and a quilt chest. I bought one of the quilt racks a very nice wooden one for $ 4.00 at a garage sale. The other quiltrack I bought at a shop and the quilt chest I ordered. All are very nice. :)

(hmmm, i should probably qualify that statement.) I really like your quilt rack. That's much better. ;-) The more I look at it, the more I'm seeing a floor to ceiling rack, similar in construction. You could probably fit around 9-12 quilts on that. Ohhh, maybe use one of those inexpensive Billy IKEA bookcases, stabilize it, and put in some dowels to hold the quilts. I think I'm going to try that! |
I had a wooden one. It got brooken in a move. I bought a metal one at a thrift store 10 dollars and I have a glass quilt case my daughter gave me for Christmas one year. I us them all.
|
My hubby made a nice quilt rack using two 2 x 4's floor to ceiling with 4 round rods about 30" wide evenly spaced from about 1 foot from the top down. It leans against the wall and is about a foot from the wall at the bottom. Love it and have it in my living room on display. Everybody comments on it when they see it.
|
You could use one of those wooden clothes drying racks. They are very inexpensive.
|
i have 3 quilt racks. my dh is a welder so he makes them to fit the space i have. he made one that is like two ladders with a hinge on the vertical uprights so it stands in the corner of the room and hold 6 quilts.
|
I have 2. One Is oak and I got it in Lancaster PA. The other is more dainty and I picked it up at a consignment shop for $18.

A ladder works great if you kind of like the country look. Just lean it up against the wall and hang your quilts on each rung.

I have made quilt racks for my granddaughters and a friend. I have one that I kept for myself.

bought mine at a used furniture and misc store.only paid 5.00 for it.owner was trying to make room for more stuff
|
I have 3 and need more! All three are loaded - with quilt throws primarily. Furniture stores have them sometimes or will order for you. Also, towel racks will work, and they are available in bed & bath stores.
|
I have one that I bought at a craft fair about 15 years ago - it has three rungs and I can hang six quilts if I fold them right.

Last weekend, hubby and I went garage sale - ing and I found one for a dollar..just a plain one for the foot of the bed. |
I use my great-grandmother's quilting frame. I don't have room to set up the frame, but use the ends to drape quilts over.
|
My husband made me one. It's a ladder about 7 1/2 ft tall., made of 1" x 4"pine and the dowels are about 12"apart. I can get about 7 quilts on it . It leans against the wall and keeps it out of hands way. Maybe a good ides for someone in QUILTLAND
|
I have one that was my mothers.
|
check Craigslist.com - there are several listed in our area all the time for $10 or less. I got beautiful oak one last month for $7
|
I bought 3 at Hobby Lobby when I first started quilting years ago and now have only 1 but I have quilts on it.
