Mine's a keeper too

My DH made this quilt ladder for me recently because he thought my beautiful quilts deserved to be displayed rather that heaped in a pile on our bedroom floor. He really is my biggest fan...I am lucky that way :-)

He did a nice job. There is a site where you can order them in different sizes made to order. I can't remember the name but it is a group of husbands of quilters . They started making them for their wives and turned it into a business.
My husband is not handy at all so I had to order mine. You are lucky to have such a handy and nice Husband. Oh, and your quilts are beautiful!

Very nice quilts and display furniture.

Kassaundra 09-19-2017 01:54 PM

Such a thoughtful gift, your quilts look great especially on display where you (and he) can enjoy them. And yes he is.

He did a great job on the ladder. My dad was good at things like that.

your quilts are beautiful and deserve to be displayed

Nice! Indeed he is a keeper. It is nice to have a spouse that is a supporter of your quilting hobby. The quilts on it are beautiful too.

BrendaK 09-19-2017 04:43 PM

You are a lucky woman. My husband is also very supportive of my work. The ladder looks great as do your quilts. BrendaK

He does a good job! Great way to display them.

Very nice display piece, and filled with beautiful quilts.

But the one that really catches my eye is the braid - love how you did it, and the little peek of oh-so-dark (is it orange?) is the perfect finish to it.

lynnie 09-19-2017 05:24 PM

oh wow! what a beautiful hanger and beautiful quilts!

Sandra in Minnesota 09-19-2017 05:32 PM

I would love to have one of those quilt ladders! Your quilts are very colorful and lovely.

Jingle 09-19-2017 05:59 PM

Very nice of him to make the quilt ladder for you. I have no room for any kind of quilt rack. I either have pictures. I don't want to move or windows on the walls.

Tartan 09-19-2017 07:24 PM

​Looks great!

Tiggersmom 09-19-2017 08:12 PM

He did GREAT!!!!! And so thoughtful.:thumbup:

quiltingshorttimer 09-19-2017 08:32 PM

what a gem--and some terrific quilts, too!

kayluvs2quilt 09-20-2017 01:32 AM

Yes, he is definitely a keeper! Wonderful quilts also. I agree with paintmejudy ~ The orange quilt is my favorite.

bneuen 09-20-2017 02:37 AM

I've been wanting a ladder for quilt display. Lucky you. Looks nice.

jmoore 09-20-2017 03:14 AM

You're lucky to have a thoughtful and talented DH. It looks wonderful.

Kris P 09-20-2017 03:22 AM

Beautiful quilts! I especially like the one on the second rung from the top.

That's a great quilt ladder. The two of you make a good team. Love your quilts!

twinkie 09-20-2017 04:12 AM

What a good hubby you have. Beautiful quilts.

sewnsewer2 09-20-2017 04:12 AM

Wish I had one! Love this!!

SusieQOH 09-20-2017 04:44 AM

Oh how lovely!!! You know, my husband always thinks my quilts are way nicer than I do! It sure does feel good to know they are appreciated, right? :)
BTW- your quilts are fabulous!

red-warrior 09-20-2017 05:36 AM

Hubby is so right your beautiful quilts should be displayed! He is a definite keeper!

Treequilter 09-20-2017 05:37 AM

Great job on the ladder and your quilts too!

Innov8R 09-20-2017 05:49 AM

I love your ladder. When my DH recovers from his last DIY project, I will show him a picture of this. Your quilts are beautiful but your most wonderful treasure is a supportive life partner.

laurilli 09-20-2017 06:26 AM

The ladder is great but so are your quilts. you two compliment each other well. PS I think I will show this to my husband as well. :D

LGJARN52 09-20-2017 07:16 AM

I love the quilt on the second rung from the top. It speaks to me. Nice that your husband does wonderful little things for you...wish all husbands would do that for us.

Thank you. That particular quilt was a pattern by Kim Diehl. I posted a picture of the quilt before, but here it is again. I am really proud of it as it was my first attempt at really elaborate FMQ.[ATTACH=CONFIG]580899[/ATTACH]

It's not a braid, but a log cabin! I haven't posted a picture of it in full yet, but will soon. Thank you for you nice comments :-)

Your Husband did a Awesome job on the Quilt Ladder as I call it...wow....Very Beautiful...the Quilts are so beautiful.

quilterpurpledog 09-20-2017 09:41 AM

I really like your ladder. You are a great team. My husband is a wood worker also, I have a custom made sewing table and desk combination as well as shelving, cabinets and quilt hanging racks that he made. He appreciated my efforts as I do his. We have been a 'great couple' for over 51 years.

sash 09-20-2017 11:06 AM

Oh, I love that. I was looking for "things" yesterday in my chest and found many quilts I have made. Seems such a waste to make them and let them just sit. I need one or several of these. I think my husband could make this, but he is unwell at this time. Maybe when he gets better. Lovely quilts, btw.

Claire123 09-20-2017 03:48 PM

What a nice thing to do! Love the quilts, too.

jlt37869 09-20-2017 04:11 PM

Looks great.

solstice3 09-20-2017 05:49 PM

Love it!!!

Fotoula 09-20-2017 06:07 PM

Beautiful ladder for beautiful quilts.

Sew Freak 09-20-2017 08:17 PM

what a nice way to show off your quilts and DHs handywork!!

Moonglow 09-21-2017 03:03 AM

This is a lovely way to display your quilts. Your husband has done a fine job.
