December 24, 201213 yr Here is a book case I made for my wifes cook books. It is now filling up with quilts. She has made over 75 and has decided to sell some of them to put towards a downpayment on a car. We need the room and the car so it will work out. If you want to check out some of her quilts there at Sweet Dreams Quilts Good, Better, Best never let it restTill your Good is Better and your Better is Best.

December 24, 201213 yr Author Ya Ron she keeps making quilts she just can't part with. It's a new adventure for her to put them on a Facebook page for sale. she does some for charity and gifts though so she is able to part with them. But I'm probably going to have to make a quilt rack similar to one in a post a couple days ago. http://www.facebook.com/SweetDreamsQuilts?ref=ts&fref=tsGood, Better, Best never let it restTill your Good is Better and your Better is Best.

December 26, 201213 yr I know that feeling of how you make something for one purpose only to have it used for another. Looks like there are some beautiful quilts. I had aclient who was a quiltmaker and wanted to sell them also. She wanted a display rack. After much discussion we opted out for a combination of quilt stand and newspaper hanging stand like what you find in libraries. I wish I had photos of it but I did not take any at the time. The hangers consisted of 3 rods in a triangular shape when views from the ends. Easy to make. The support was slanted so that you could get an idea of what the quilts might look like. When she was with a customer they would lift out the various quilts and then rehang them. For her larger quilts I made her something like what you find in the big box stores where electrical wire was stored. I did not use a motor but a nice plastic in a similar set up for those chain garage doors.  Just a couple of thoughts if your wife decides to open a store or take up part of the garage.

December 26, 201213 yr Author  Thanks for the ideas Phil. I have a plastic divider set up similar to what you’re talking about. It's on a 10' long pole hung from the ceiling and when you pull the plastic down it winds a rope up so you can roll the plastic back up. I think the garage is safe because it would be her car that had to set out. LOL We have about a 1,000 usable square feet in the basement and she has taken over about 850’ of it. It works out though being a hand tool only guy (okay I do have a drill press). I don’t need a whole lot of space. I’ve got a 12’ x 4’ area for long stock and a 10’ x 12’ area for my benches.
