I thought I had read somewhere that there was a spray you could use for wall hangings/quilts to prevent fading and damage from the sun. Is there such a thing?

Yes, but I don't remember the name of it. Maybe a Scotchgard UV product?

Therre is a product called FarbricGuard and can be purchased at most LQS. Although, I have never tried it, and it is fairly expensive, but, it is made by Johnson&Johnson.

I know I'm a bit conservative on this subject, but I'm more cautious than I used to be about spraying anything like that unless it's absolutely necessary. Science is showing so much more these days about what those ingredients do to us.

I agree, I eat ride, I am not over weight, exercise did everything you should do. I was told my cancer was from environmental and no cure. But I am cancer free going on 4 yrs. Praise the Lord :P

What wonderful news!!!
I agree though- if you think of the cumulative affect all these things have on us, it's probably not good
But having said this- I jumped on the fact that you could use a product to prevent fading........ hmmmm......

Be aware that all these products are made for things like tents, awnings, boat covers, deck furniture, convertible tops, and the like. The best rated is SunArmor UV Protection, a British product. http://sunarmor.co.uk/ Personally, I wouldn't ever spray it on my wall quilts, but I don't hang them in the sun either.
