So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Buying A Quilt Design Wall Hanger

By Harriett Crosby


When one has a beautiful item for hanging, a quilt design wall hanger is a perfect solution. It not only displays the item in an artistic manner but does not damage it in any way. Tabs do not have to be sewn on and no holes have to be made in the fabric.

There are many different designs available and selection of a particular style will depend on your own taste and the style of your home. For example, in a country style house, a style including a shelf and a plate groove is appropriate. Instead of detracting from your decor, it should add to it.

These hangers work in different ways. Some of them simply require placing the edge of your hanging between two rails and tightening the knobs. The knobs are placed above the hanging so they will not puncture it or damage it in any way. More knobs are required to support a heavy hanging and they may also be customized to specifications if necessary. Hangers usually have a binding groove located on both inner, lower edges. This groove ensures an even hang, no slippage and prevents too much pressure from being placed on the hanging. Hangers are attached to the wall in different ways. Some have keyhole slots on the back make hanging on a wall easy.

As there are numerous companies offering these items, it is important to select a reputable one. Reading online reviews is one way of finding out more about its reliability. Once you have made a decision, you will need to place an order, choosing your size, style, type of wood and finish. Some companies do offer customization of sizes and other details like cut-outs on shelves and decorative knobs.

You can make a choice from a wide variety of materials. Woods like maple, oak, cherry, pine and walnut are available. The wood may be left unfinished and painted or stained by the customer to suit their style. Some suppliers use clear lacquer on the wood to finish it.

Finishes should not become sticky or transfer to the fabric and damage it. Some suppliers use a lacquer which prevents the stain and natural wood oils from bleeding through to the fabric. Another simple way of protecting your hanging from the finish is to wrap a hidden piece of fabric like a natural muslin around the edge.

You will need to measure the length of your hanging before placing an order. If the size ordered is too long, it looks unattractive and can cause sagging. The correct size will be the length of the object itself or one or two inches longer. Some companies offer to customize sizes but one of the standard sizes offered will usually work.

If you have a beautiful hanging to display but are unsure of how to hang it, consider using a quilt design wall hanger. This provides a secure way to hang it without any sagging, unevenness or unnecessary pressure on the fabric. Your beautiful artwork will not be damaged in any way and will create a great focus of interest on your wall.
