Make-Do Quilt Racks

I wanted something different to hang my quilts and coverlets. One day while out antiquing I found an old cement finishers tool and thought it would make a great bracket to hold the rod for the rack. I then found an apple butter paddle and thought it would make the perfect "stick" to hold a quilt. I had Mr. M hang it up and the rest is history. Of course it's like potato chips and I had to have more! I had him cut one of the cement smoothers in half to hold a ladder full of coverlets and then I used two old wood planes to make a third. I think they work great and look really primitive.
