What a crock!

A quilt cupboard is a beautiful thing:

Not only does it allow you to store an abundance
of quilts, it protects them from dust and dirt.

Isn't this armoire lovely?

It definitely takes 'outside-of-the-box' thinking when it comes to displaying a collection of quilts.  Maybe a trip to the used furniture store is in order?  Happy shopping!

  3. What great ideas. I'd never thought of using a changing table as a display. I find them all the time for nothing. I think I'll be on the look out for one! Love it!
