*** Displaying The Quilts: ***

** Please See Tips & Ideas Farther Down **

It is necessary for the host location to provide adequate means to display the quilts. 

The Quilts must be displayed indoors if possible, in a tent or other covered area that

is 30’x 40’ currently, there are 26 Quilts measuring 80 inches wide by 100 inches long with Velcro straps at the top for hanging. They can be hung back to back provided

there is enough room to walk completely around.  In addition to the pre-constructed racks, a ladder, two tables and two chairs are needed. Some form of lighting should be thought of if the display will be open after dark.

When we travel to your area driving our own vehicle we have our own rack

system and equipment that we bring with us but obviously we cannot

bring our own equipment when flying.

We do have a diagram that may help with directions for constructing quilt racks

if you would like or need help with a display rack concept.

It uses 1½ inch schedule 40 PVC pipe.

The cost is fairly inexpensive and it is likely that the PVC pipe can be reused for

other projects afterwards.

~~Other Tips, Ideas, & Options for Displaying Quilts~~

** A covered or indoor setting is always best! **

(Tents work well as long as they are big enough & dry enough!)

**  Each Quilt Measures 80 in. by 100 in. **

(We do need a ladder to use!)

** Each Quilt is designed with 4 sets of Velcro pieces for hanging **

** The Quilts are one sided and can be hung back to back to display **

#1 & #2   Are Both Outdoor Freestanding With Our PVC Rack

Quilts are hung back to back which allows both sides to be seen

(rope anchors for tie down or weights for bottom should be available in case of wind!)

We don't prefer this sort of outdoor display as it is not good on the Quilts.

# 3  This particular tent was a huge party tent &  where we were able to use the poles of the tent frame to hang the Quilts from. With this particular tent the sides were tall enough, some tents are not.

#4 This tent was tall enough but not large enough so we used parts of PVC rack to display some Quilts down the middle of the tent also.

# 4

Tents like these in Pic #3 & #4 normally have flaps or outside walls available which is always a good thing to have readily available due to weather changes.

#5 These racks were built by a friend out in Sioux Falls, SD & worked excellent! Here again we hung the Quilts back to back ,

which can sometimes save materials & space.

Thank You!

#6 & #7 

This way  of displaying worked excellently! The Chapel had a drop ceiling & ropes were hung down from the framework in the ceiling. Pieces of PVC pipe was added & then leveled. There was nothing in the walkways to create a trip hazard & here again we hung the Quilts back to back.
