Isn't he clever :D

I found this easy way of hanging wall quilts on the internet....I think it was posted here possibly...(senior moment!!)

Anyway, asked my DH if he cut cut me a length of dowelling, and look what he came up with...AND it works perfectly keeping all sides nice and straight!!

Heres some pictures so you can see how he constructed it!! :D :D

Izy

Didn't upload all the pictures....lets try again!

Very clever! I like that idea as opposed to the hanging sleeve. Tell dh Well Done!!!

Between you, me and the rest of the board.....I saw him disappear out of the back door, quilt in hand....my heart was in my mouth...as I gingerly asked....

- "where are you going with THAT dearest?????"

- "Off to make the dowelling...don't worry!!"

(Needless to say...worry I did as it's my first wall hanging..and it's precious.... :? )

Out comes the work bench... tenon saws.....BIG tools!!!

"But honey...you only need a hacksaw, I only need you to cut it to length...blah blah blah"....over HIS head my suggestion went..... :shock:

BUT TAH DAH - as you see HE CAME UP TRUMPS!!! :D :D :D

So he got a great big - WELL DONE from me !! :lol: :lol:

Stress levels returning to normal ....... :roll: :wink:

Loved this idea. What is the size of the dowel he used?
