Caring for Precious Quilts with Quilt Racks, Clamps & Shelves

The Amish are justly famous for their quilts, and we are lucky to be offering some of them here now! On the other hand, the craftsmen are not so famous for their quilt racks, stands and clamps; They have several styles of quilt racks which are shown here.  But for  display, they also have quilt shelves and quilt clamps which beautifully hang the quilts without damage. If you have heirloom or handmade art quilts that  you want to store or hang, take a look at these wonderful pieces.

Many Amish Communities have friends who have helped them get some pieces for sale through Amazon, and so I have decided to offer them here, too. The Amish, wherever they are, are wonderful, hard working people. They appreciate your business very much!
