How to make a lightweight quilted fabric shelf
My local quilt shop has a design wall that is used for class samples. For wearable art or quilts it’s quite easy to display the sample, but for dolls it’s another story. They either get put inside a basket that is tacked to the wall or, horror of horrors, the doll itself gets pinned to the wall. I didn’t want my mermaid to face that fate so I decided to design a lightweight fabric shelf that could be pinned to the wall. This is what I came up with ….
I wrote a 3 page tutorial that you can download. This will work for little lightweight objects. My mermaid is 10" so that's a guide of sorts, I suppose.
wowee, wonderful design and tutorial!! I have to learn how to do pdf, so much easier! I will try that shelf sometime soon.

Bless you dear one - I love this list everyone shares their talent and thats such an exceptional thing these days- I am going to have to get some of the Papervol and learn how to play!
thank you again dear friend
love n hugs bear xoxoxoxoxox
Thank you for another VERY useful & understandable tutorial! This is EXACTLY why I say you are an awesome teacher - you're detailed yet CLEAR about everything. I wouldn't want to be IN your class, tho' because I suspect you'd beat ME about the head with a big stick for being so DENSE sometimes! LOL! In all seriousness, you are a generous sweetheart for doing this!
Posted by: Kai at April 22, 2007 7:43 AMwhat an awesome idea...and what a wonderful gift for all of us...you always amaze me where your mind goes
Posted by: Sherry Goshon at April 22, 2007 7:48 AMJudi, that is such a clever idea and what a great way to display your amazing mermaid. The things you come up with are so creative and unique!

Judi,
Love your created mind. The wall shelf is fantastic.

Judi, What a great idea for a doll display! It's always a challenge to display cloth dolls without ruining them and to still be able to see all of the detail. Thanks for the tutorial. :-)
Posted by: Tami at April 23, 2007 7:05 PMYou always have the most amazing ideas!! This one is just as great.
Thanks for sharing!!
You clever girl. I am so glad the mermaid will not be pinned to the wall. She is styling with her shelf.
