And, does anyone have a set up for holding quilts to be photographed?
I've seen some professional frames in magazines, but I'm looking for a
homemade/cheaper solution. Quilts are too big for husband's arms and
it's too windy in Nebraska to drape them over the fence!

Those look great Joan. Savage makes a portastand you can find at
Porters.com but they run around $150. Are there any clothes lines
around. That would get around husband's arms but not the wind.
When the kids were little there was a great playset/fort that worked
great here. Kids climbed up and held the quilt. Folks must have
other ideas. I'll look forward to hearing too.
It may seem crazy but I like photos of quilts on beds if they are bed
sized.

My 'Heartstrings' quilt is king-size and will be way too big to hold to
photograph. It's crossed my little mind that I might take it to an uppity
furniture store and pose it in a snazzy setting. I've noticed that some of
the quilting magazines are giving credit to this and that store for their
display. Probably if I called and asked what would be a convenient time,
they would be agreeable. Or - lots of new homes here are being built with
decks or porches about 20' off the ground. That might work. Carol Doak
shows a lovely staircase on her CD. Wonder if she shares it with proud
quilters? Polly

I did post on another message about the Savage porta stands. Google will
bring up the same stand for many different prices. I just saw one for
$105....though I did get some for my guild for $99. I suppose prices have
gone up. There is a website called "quilter's husband" or something like
that who carries the same stand for quite a bit more. This stand is for
photography backdrops, but is just wonderful for quilts.

Good golly! $ 105 ? I only paid $ 12.50 for Mr. Esther. Polly

What I use, Joan, are curtain rings with clasps that dangle from them I get
from Ikea when I'm up there. I clip the rings onto the quilt then thread
the rings onto a curtain rod that I can hang on the wall or tie up to the
clothes line if it's a big quilt. That way it doesn't matter if the quilt
is small or large I can hang it from anywhere using the curtain rings from
Ikea. Haven't seen them anywhere else in Oz.

The link is to the Australian site and there's a couple of sizes but it will
give you an idea. I use the rings to hang my quilts so I don't have to put
rod pockets on them [not one of my most favourite tasks] and can swap the
quilts around from time to time more easily as well.

I've seen those rings in lots of places, but I'd still need a place to
hang them from that is at least 6 feet off the ground. No
clothesline, no high deck rails, no stairs, no where to hang an
oversized king size quilt.

I've been contemplating hanging a couple of tops from my house gutter
with clothes pins for lack of a better way to do it. I wouldn't
chance it with the weight of a finished quilt though.

I've got a free wall big enough to put those removable adhesive hooks onto.
In Oz they are 3M Command brand and the ones I've used are big enough to
take a curtain rod. I spray painted them gold [they were white plastic].
The free-standing frames would be ideal but then I'd have a problem where to
store it so my wall does the job[and I can't afford one]. The lighting
isn't the best so usually have to wait for a really sunny day and turn all
the lights on ) Outside in the natural light would be heaps better. I
will have to look for somewhere to put hooks out there.
