Okay so when I decided to use the same nursery set for this baby that we had for Kenley (because I really do love it and I wanted to save some dough since we bought Kenley new bedding and many other things for the new house) I also decided that I wanted to do the nursery a little different to make it feel new. Part of that included hanging up the quilt this time on the wall. For Kenley we used it on the floor for her to play on but I wanted to showcase it this time around. However, the problem was, I needed to figure out how to hang it. I either had to sew a sleeve on the back so I could do a hidden rod or I had to buy rings with clips and hang it from a drapery rod. Both required more holes in the wall that I really wanted to do and more work. Plus I really didn't want to see the curtain rod. So I GOOGLED away on the internet looking for an alternative and found a site with "Amish ideas" for solving problems like this.... the answer....VELCRO ;o) Ingenious! We already use the velcro picture hangers around the new house so it should work perfectly. They suggested pinning the velcro but I decided to sew it on and voila....you have a hung quilt with no holes in the wall and little to no work...
Thank you AMISH ;o) Hee Hee Hee!!

Wow, Kim, I had lots of catching up to do on your blog. Kenley's hair is so cute, love those curls. Sounds like the time spent with Grandmas and Grandpas was great and I love the hanging quilt. Those Amish are pretty crafty!
