I Built A Quilt Ladder!

I definitely needed a place to store my quilts.  When they are not in use, the quilts have typically been strewn over a recliner and a glider chair.  With two quilt on each, the recliner and glider were leaning back and hitting the wall under the weight of the quilts.

Yesterday, I went to Lowe's, and I bought four 28" table legs, two 48" x 1" dowels, and various table feet.  I also picked up some brackets to secure the legs together.

After two broken bits, a blister from pre-drilling, and a cut from the aforementioned broken bit, I have a quilt ladder!  Good thing that I didn't need to use the table saw, huh?  Don't worry, I am fine and healing.  And most importantly, don't worry about my quilts being displayed outside in the backyard...the lighting was better outside for photographs.

Here they are inside and placed on their new home.  Note: none of my quilts match!  Ack!

  3. Great ladder - I like how simple it is! I made one years ago but it took heaps of work. Love the quilts you've hung on it too. :-)

  6. Very cool ladder and a great way to solve your problem! The quilts aren't supposed to be matching. I think it would look quite boring if they did.
