I'm thinking the PVC frame can be made as a box, or maybe A-Frame for stability and 2 sided?

Go to the local thrift store and buy a folding dryer.....made of wood with dowells that you hang clothes to dry on when its raining outside......probably be able to find one for much less than 20$$$;; Then fold up and hide away in the closet in case you need to dry undies or clothes.

delma I'll let you all know if / when I make it! |
This rack system looks so easy to assemble - it's brilliant! Thank you for sharing. In a pinch, I sometimes used an artist's easel....just draped the quilt over it. Invites folks to come and touch.

My vote as well. Inexpensive, portable and collapsible.
A quick Google search brought this up first: http://www.quiltfrog.com/QuiltDisplayRack.html Looks easy enough - especially since HD or Lowe's will cut the pipes to size for you. I've been meaning to build one so I can take pictures of my quilts - straight on, without people's fingers in the corner, balancing off off balconies or porches. |
I use the hanging strips by 3M, you stick one sticky side to the wall and the other to the quilt then push them together. The front of the sticky side is velcro and they hold really well and come in different strengths. I use them to hold pictures as well as quilts and they do not leave any kind of residue on the wall or your quilt. You can get them at Joann's, Hobby Lobby or Michaels and I am sure any store like Target, KMart or Walmart carry them. If they will hold a large picture they will certainly hold a large quilt and they work really well when I change mine around for the various seasons.

We used a rolling chalkboard to display a quilt on. Maybe the Y has one?

An old drying rack may work...the one I have folds into thirds and has 3 rungs on it. You have gotten some other good suggestions! Have a great sale!

Is there any structure design in particular you find to be more sturdy? Can you see the PVC when the quilt is hanging?
