so nice of you, can't wait to see what you buy for her
|
I like the first one too...I have one that my Mom had made for me about twenty years ago and it's still in use...not as nice as this one but very good for what I need it for. And would you like either of my sons' email addresses? LOL
|
That is so sweet. I agree, look for something that fits the style of the home. I would also look for something that does not teether. I really like the craftsman style in the first link posted above.

Hi! I think Jan in Va has the best advice. I would love to find an old library ladder for my quilts.
|
I really like the style of your first choice. The clean lines would let the quilts be the stars of the show.

What a thoughtful son you are! you've already been given some good advice. I also like these "quilt chests" and it's another option:
http://www.quiltcurio.com/ Again, an internet search will net you some producers - mostly custom/hand made. I saw a couple "in person" in a store in Shipeshewana, IN, and they are very nice. |
I like Jan in VAs idea of a library or farm ladder. Many more quilts could be displayed on it than on a 'regular ' quilt rack. If you can't find one, maybe you could find a woodworker to craft one for you. That said, I, too, like the Craftsman you found.

Thanks, all, for all the recommendations so far. I think, after perusing some of these links, I am looking more for an at-home stand, and these two caught my eye:

If you live anywhere near an Amish or Mennonite community I would look into that for a display rack for your mom. If you do not you can google Amish made quilt rack. There are many 3rd party vendors who commission the Amish to make them for sale on the net. If your mom is an avid quilter she will truly appreciate the fact that it is Amish made. The Amish are famous for their quilts.
