Self expression has been proven to have a lot of benefits. Aside from it allows us to improve our focus on details, it also helps us unleash our creativity. This is something that is fulfilling in itself. By creating something that we can really call as our own, we are recognizing our own responsibility for the item.
There are many ways on how we can show our creativity. But all of them goes back to the basic thing about what we like to do. Creating quilts is one method by how one can express oneself. It can take time depending on the complexity of the design. But for those who like creating the craft, the time spend is worth it once they get to see the finish. Quilt displays are among those things that they can do to showcase their craft.
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.
Strategic place. By this, we mean those areas that do not have much presence of people. There are quilters who choose vacant room for this. They lay the quilt down on the bed. If they want to show it to other people, they can just invite them in.
Keep it away from pets and kids. Among all the sources of traffic that you can get, your pets and kids are on top of the list, who as much as possible, should not be permitted to stay close and play with your quilts. Its a common thing for them to play so you cannot blame them if they end up destroying your craft on the process. Be sure not to place it on places reachable to them.
Right illumination. The right touch of light can make or break the appeal of the quilt. If the place is dark for instance, then putting some light on at the corners of the room or any other area may be a good idea.
Method of display. Placing it on top of the bed is one. Hanging it on walls is a different story. You can be as creative as you want to be when talking about displays. You will be the one who will set it up after all. You know best how you want it to appear.
Accessory items. This is optional, but can prove to be very important. If you decide on hanging the quit horizontally for example, you will need hanger or a board that will hold it upright. Clips may also be needed to attach the ends to the hanger. Whatever accessory you need, make sure that they are of high quality. Also, be sure they do not react negatively to the cloth by producing a discoloration effect.
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.
