Is anyone aware of a safe way to hang an antique quilt on a wall to display it WITHOUT causing damage?

I have inherited several antique quilts (close to 200 years old) that I would like to display on a rod or the like behind headboards in the bedrooms. But I can't think of a way to do so without causing damage.

I went to JoAnn's yesterday and I was told that the way to hang a quilt was to sew a rod pocket onto it for the curtain rod to slide through. I pointed out that wouldn't this cause damage to the fragile fabric and got "oh."

So I bring the question to my friends here.

Anyone got a clue?

So today I start back on my "lifetime adjustment" (aka I get back on track to watching what I eat) since I've been really bad since Mom died.

But that's ok due to having discovered a new Restraunt near the Doma. For those who did not see

dicea's post...

A new Vietnamese restraunt opened up and they have Pho`!!!!! Broth, rice noodles, bit of meat, some bean sprouts and other green things. All the stuff added to the broth in your own amounts. Low points and filling!!! I am so going to be there on a regular basis.

Now have a new place to take Ms Mink when she visits up here next.

Current Mood: happy

I took the "The Nine Muses" quiz on gURL.com
		My muse is... Calliope Calliope is the patron goddess of epic poetry. She is often depicted holding a writing tablet and wearing a golden crown, for she is the oldest of the muses and their leader. Her name means "The Fair Voiced," but Calliope inspires eloquence in writing. Read more... Who is your muse?
