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

Things To Remember When Preparing For Quilt Displays

By Ericka Marsh


Not all of us may be born artists. But we all have our own way of expressing ourselves. Some find writing a good way to do it. Others go for drawing. Whatever you choose, the end result of the thing that you do will always be yours. Its something for you to keep.

Your creativity is the main power hub in term of this. And there are a lot of beautiful things that you can make if you only put your heart at it. For quilters, nothing would seem like a rewarding thing to do than having quilt displays on some of the best places that they have at home. Being able to see their creation every time they pass by the place can be a real treat.

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.

Absence of kids and pets. Of course, you cannot totally hide the quilt from them if you plan on displaying it. But you can at least do something to make sure that they do not get to play with it as well. Little kids love colors and play and they have the tendency to get their hands on to anything that look flashy. To prevent them from ruining anything, its best if you keep the finished product away from their prying hands.

Go for right illumination. This is more like for the aesthetic appeal of your display. There are designs with dark dominant theme. If you do not place it in areas with the appropriate lighting, you may end up not getting the desired look that you want it to have.

Display style. Next thing that you have to think about would be the method that you will employ once you put up the quilt. Would you like to hang it or will laying it down at a flat surface be better. Of course, this is also dependent with the place that you chose.

Find high quality accessory materials for support. Last but not the least, choose high quality accessories that you want to use. This can include the hanger, the back board, clips and all other things that you will be using for the display. Aside from the issue of durability, you should also ensure that the materials will not harm the quilt.

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.
