Default New quilt display

Maybe others store and display their quilts on top of their kitchen cupboards but this is new to me. I never liked the empty space above the cupboards.

The tops of kitchen cabinets would be the last place to store quilts. I know how bad this area gets with grease and dirt, I would be afraid that my quilts would look like that. No, not a good place to store quilts!!

same here, greasy place in my house, but we don't have a vent over the stove.
I have teapots up there, I can take them down and run through the dishwasher.

Beautiful quilts, lovely display

wait, maybe she's so busy quilting she orders in and never cooks, ever! in that case, eat off of paper plates, and store in the cupboards.

Some people have nice cupboards in their sewing room. I doubt these are in her kitchen.

I surely hope these quilts are above sewing room cabinets, and not kitchen cabinets. Pottery, old tin ware, Fiesta ware, or green vines would work above kitchen cabinets instead. Personally I have little pigs, baskets and green vines above mine.

In the first line, the OP says "kitchen".

I have fancy bottles, dishes, baskets, vases and platters above the cabinets in my kitchen. I do very little heavy frying in grease, but I need to take everything down from above those cabinets at least once a year and wash it all. It's a mess. When I use anything that has been up there, it needs to be washed first.

I so love this display. I'm wondering how difficult it would be to glass in that space?
Maybe like a fold down secretary, so you could move them around, easy to get to, options for a pretty knob?
My dad built sliding glass doors into the cabinets he built for their rock hounding treasures. It still allowed in a good portion of dust and dander.
