display wall
 

I added a strip of oak above my windows to use as an extra place to display works in progress. Nails spaced about 6 inches apart allow me to clothes pin my tops up to view.
I can take work up and down to sew. For me having a spot to display and view from a distance is nice.

I can see using a similar oak strip as a way to display finished work.

Great idea. I love your work.

Ozark:

Your Orca Bay turned out really nice.

THANK you, not finished (yet) don't think I am going to do the outer border.

Wonderful idea!!

Thanks for the idea

Really great idea.

What a cool idea. Love your material girl quilt.

Great idea!

THanks so much for sharing this. I know it will be helpful to many of us

My husband made me one from 2 strips of lumber. One strip is attached to the upper portion of the other leaving a gap between the board and the wall when mounted. I use 1" binder clips to attach my quilts to it.

Awsome quilts!

love the idea - the clothes pins are great!

Great idea. I love the clothes pins with holes in them.

great idea.

I love the Orca Bay too! I had second thoughts about doing the border and ended up deciding to give it a try. I was afraid that it wouldn't fit correctly and I would hate it - it ended up going right together with no problem! A pleasant surprise to me!! Great work!

Terrific idea! Thanks for sharing and the pics.

That is a neat idea.

Smart idea. Love your quilts!

great idea. we don't always have room for display space and your idea works out great.

flannel sheet and pins , roll it up when not in use.

Great idea. I have the windows, but in the wrong room. Maybe I can put them over the door wall in my sewing room. I'll have to think about it. Only wall space left!

You have come up with a clever solution.

Great idea! I definitely need to do that. :)

My sewing room is in the basement, and the bottom half of the wall is made of stained, rough wood, the top half is painted drywall, framed by smaller pieces of the same wood.

I strung wire between the sections of one of the walls, running the wire through the springs on clothespins. Makes a wonderful display area for quilts in progress. Similar idea, but more clothespins and easier to DIY.

Great idea. Beautiful quilts!

That is a neat idea and I love your quilts, especially the first one.

Love the quilt (I guess the Orca Bay) it's colors are what I have been looking for. The blocks look spectacular.

Good idea!

Improvisation is wonderful.

Thanks for sharing. Great idea. :)

That is really a great idea, and one in which I will use in the future. Thanks for sharing.

Neat idea, I need to add one to my wall at work to put my month wall hangings on.
