    Does anyone have pictures or plans for a quilt ladder? I want something that looks 'finished' and will give a nice display for large quilts. Hoping hubby can find time to 'surprise' me.
    Thanks in advance! :thumbup:

    I use an old ladder that was my late grandfather's in my dining room to display quilts. I also have a bunkbed ladder I found by my neighbor's trash that I use on landing in my living room. I don't know of a specific pattern for a ladder but would be interested if there is one. Don't forget to use acid free paper on the ladder rungs under your quilts--even sealed wood can leave marks (ask me how I know!). Good luck in your search.

    I agree with searching the internet. plenty of great ideas and plans. If you have some lumber laying around, they can be made for a reasonable price and without too much difficulty.
