Things To Remember When Preparing For Quilt Displays

By Ericka Marsh


A lot of us like to create something. May it be cooking something delectable, writing a short story and even doodling, having a sense of ownership of something feels like a fulfillment. Of course, this may not be true to all as we have different interests. But when it comes to expressing ourselves, crafting something personal is one of the most common ways to do it.

For some people, their creativity has not only been a source of recreation. It has also turned into a business. Setting up quilt displays is one good example. You can do this out of hobby. As long as you have a quilt to show, you can always have a display of it. And then there are those who are also using this for business. Either ways, you will have to keep your finished item well protected to retain its brilliance.

If you have some collection of it yourself, then showing them to people can be a good idea. Who knows, some of them might just even be inspired to make their own. Or better yet, invest on your skills and make it a business. When you prepare for display, there are things that you should always remember. Take a look.

Area where you set it up. Lets face it. There are attractive places in your house where you want these materials displayed. There is nothing wrong with the idea. But before you can go on doing it, your first task is to check if the place is often visited by people. If so, then your quilts might be prone to dirt and dust as well. Better find a place where you can just invite in those whom you want to have a look.

Keep it away from pets and kids. Among all the sources of traffic that you can get, your pets and kids are on top of the list, who as much as possible, should not be permitted to stay close and play with your quilts. Its a common thing for them to play so you cannot blame them if they end up destroying your craft on the process. Be sure not to place it on places reachable to them.

Illumination. This may not be a priority for some. But if the whole point is to provide the right amount of lighting that can project the awesome design that you created, then placing it on an area with right lighting is very appropriate.

Decide on the way of display you want to employ. The most common mechanism would be those that are hang. Its visible and easier to see. It is the one chosen by those who would like to examine the fuller view of the craft.

Accessories. You do not always look for this. But if for some instance you decide to use a hanger in hanging the material or a set of clips to attach them somewhere, then you better start looking for the best quality of accessories that are available in the market.

Maintain the brilliance of your quilts by ensuring that they are well protected against any kind of potential hazard. There are many out there. Think about the effort that you spend in making one and preempt any kind of damage.
