I went to Walmart or Home Depot and bought the plastic rods that you would normally use to cover a shower curtain rod. I cut them to size and used them on the rungs of my ladder. Since my ladder was old, I did this to keep any dirt off of my quilts. You might want to do it to keep the wood stain from transferring to your quilts.

Great idea!!! Or clear plastic tubing if you can find the right size!

Great job! I saw some nice ones at a Quilt Show this past weekend, but they were $125 to $225, depending on the wood.

OMG!! I sit for my nephew on occasion and will not accept $$$. I was over there and Nana started about $$$. I said what I really wanted was an old ladder to hang quilts on. 2 weeks later I had a 20 ft. ladder. Nana had gone to some friends and asked around if anyone had an old wooden ladder for sale. She was told to take it. My Dad helped cut it so I could use both pieces. I have one piece in my front room and the other in my studio. I absolutely love them. I will learn to use a digital camera so I can post a picture:D

very crafty... I love it that quilters are multi-talented. Never considered one but I love how it displays your beautiful quilts.
