Hi, I'm Nicole Gilbert, and this is the stop scrolling start sewing podcast each Wednesday, join me as I share the ins and outs of that quilt life. If you don't have a sewing machine, or you can sell pretty fly why inseam or even if you're just looking for the greatest and latest quilty news, this is the podcast for you. Hey folks, Nicole here. Welcome to season three, episode seven of the stops rolling start selling podcast. Whether you are listening on your favorite podcast provider, or watching on the Nicole Gilbert Coulter YouTube channel, I was just want to say thank you so much for taking a portion of your day to spend with me. Okay, so on this episode of the podcast, we are talking about displaying your quilts and using your quilts as home decor. And this is something that over the years I have had a lot of difficulty with. And I'll kind of get into that in a moment. But it's definitely one of those things that you kind of have to wrap your head around maybe either in the pro, or the negative version of it, and kind of the best way to do it. So I've got all of the things to think about, as well as some tips, tricks and useful items to display your quilts with. But before we jump into that, let's talk about the quilts on the wall. Okay, so this is happy stripes. And this is a quilt pattern designed by Emily Dennis of quilty love. This quilt is amazing. It's super beginner friendly, which is always fun, because for beginners, it gets you a beautiful quilt that is accomplishable and achievable, which I think is so important. It's never fun to get frustrated with a project. For more intermediate or advanced quilters. This is a great fast project. So it's a win win win all across the board. Love this quilt. It is Jelly Roll friendly. And honestly, I think Jelly Rolls, they were super popular for a really long time. And not that they've fallen out of popularity. But with how amazing the designers have gotten those fat quarter bundles. And those charm packs have really kind of moved to the front as far as friendly patterns go. And so I really love that this is Jelly Roll friendly, because I collect Jelly Rolls. And then I'm kind of like, what do I do with the thing. Here's what you do with the thing. So this is a jellyroll friendly quilt. It actually has many different sizes. So you can make this quilt in anything from baby to King, which and all of the directions are in the pattern to do any of those sizes. So it's a really versatile pattern. I want to say this is like the medium throw. So it's like kind of in the middle ish. Love it. For this one, I use a single Jelly Roll. And then like a couple of scraps to like fill in some holes like because I think I was short by like five of these little strips with one Jelly Roll. So I needed to do a little bit of addition, the pattern kind of lays out exactly how many strips and whatnot you need. For up to a medium size throw, you can get away with just one Jelly Roll, which is pretty cool. So those are the different kind of sizes that you can get out of it. As far as technique. It's strip sets and stitching flip corners, which really straightforward. And I actually have a few videos on the YouTube channel for doing stitch and foot corners and strip sets. So I will link that in the description for you. Um, as far as the fabric that I used, this fabric is actually 99% of the fabric is seashore drive by Sheree and Chelsea for motor fabrics. And then the supplements that I used were Bell boa which is also by Sheree and Chelsea and honestly I think it's kind of seamless. You almost can't even tell on honestly, I kind of can't tell which is Bell boa and I think this one's velboa which is Bell boa and which is cswa drive. Because those two those two fabric collections went together just seamlessly. They're just gorgeous. I'm a big Sherry and Chelsea fan Now, most people will be like, okay, Nicole, stop talking about Tula. When I stopped talking about Tula, I start talking about Sherry and Chelsea, because I think that they're just wonderful. They do really traditional patterns. You know, ditzy flowers and basic florals ganem stripes, they do really traditional prints in really fun colors. And that's like, I mean, that's everything. Love it. So that is the fabric, I will have links to the pattern, the fabric collections, all of that information that you might be interested in about the quilt on wall in the description. Okay, so now that I've rambled about the quilts on the wall for long enough, let's talk about quilt decor. Okay, I've had an issue with doing quilt decor in my home for a really long time. And the reason why I've had that issue is there's a few there's a few things, I've had some some stumbling blocks along the way. One thing is that you may have noticed that my quilts are all very bright, very fun, very vivid. That's what I adore. That's not necessarily what I adore in my home decor. If you go into my living room, it's bleached grey floors, cream, couch, soft blue pillows, gray window coverings, like very chill, kind of modern farmhouse see a little bit French country, like kind of something in the middle ish there. Which is very, not big, bright, bold colors. So I have had some issues with kind of incorporating my quilts into my home decor. Because what I want in my home is not necessarily what I want in my quilts now and I will get to how I kind of rectified that. Another thing is that, for me, personally, I'm not the kind of person who wants to see a quilt everywhere. I adore quilts adore them. But there is kind of times and places for them. I think, again, me personally, because I have friends who I absolutely adore, who do decorate quilts, and I go into their homes and I'm like, this is beautiful. It's beautiful. I either a don't know how to do it or be it's just not my jam. I haven't really figured that one out. But it's just, it's just not being done in my home. So, the first thing that we want to think about an eye all of that rambling was for a reason, I swear. Okay, so the first thing we want to think about is what is our decor, personality. Okay, I have quilts all over my house. I do. I love using quilts. However, I think some people would be like, Whoa, that's pretty sparing. And some people would be like, Whoa, she'd gotten everywhere. Again, quilt decor personality. We need to think about this for myself personally. I have made the quilt that is on my guestroom bed. I have made the quilt that is on my bed, my personal bedroom bed. I have made quilts that go onto my boys beds, but we're in that fun, late toddler early elementary school age where things happen with their quilts. And so we've got a lot of target quilts on their beds too, because I've just I can't, I can't you know what I mean? Little boys, I just can't. But eventually there'll be on their beds too. I've got a quilt that lives on my couch because I am I swear I'm just freezing all the time. So I have a quilt that lives on my couch. I have the occasional quilted table runner and it's very occasional, you know 80% of the time when you come into my house, you will see not a quilted table runner. Either no table runner at all or like a very basic woven. You know buffalo check. Joanna Gaines approved kind of table runner. But I love I have a table runner made from actually about both fabrics that I love to pull out during the springtime just because I think that it like lightens everything and it just makes me really really happy. I have another one that goes with my Christmas decor, which actually looks great because I take my typical centerpiece off of my table and I have like a big silver nativity set. It acts as my centerpiece during the holidays and so that that Christmas table runner looks good there. But again, I just need to very timeframe specific table runners the rest of the time, it's not on there. And that is kind of it for me personally, so I mean if you didn't go into any of the bedrooms and it's you know, July you might only ever see the one on the back of the couch. You know, now, I have a dear family friend who I absolutely adore. And she has a quilt hanging as wall art in the middle of her living room. She has quilts hanging as wall art in the hallways of her home. It's beautiful, she chooses amazing quilts, she rotates them out. So there's you know, you come in and it's like a new pop of color every you know, season or so. And it's it's really cool and I enjoy it. But but you got to think about what your personality is. There are some personalities which is wonderful. This is another personality where you want to you want to make things for your home. I know that sounds weird. You want to make things for your home, we all want to make things for our homes were folders. And for a lot of us we're you know, we're the person in our in our house that makes our house a home. But you know, there's you know, you can make quilted liners for your drawers in your bathrooms, you know how you usually put like some sort of liner in there to protect your shelving, you can make quilted ones of those. You can have quilted placemats. You can have table runners, table toppers, you can have, you know, sideboard covers, so like table runners that go on like sideboards or soft sofa tables, or credenzas. Those could all be quilted as well. You can have quilted wall hangings quilted, like curtain valances. I mean, the sky's the limits of the things that you can quilt. And personality wise is going to be kind of where you end up on that meter. of you know, absolutely nothing, nobody would even know that you're a quilter all the way up to if it sits a stitch it kind of a deal and everything in between. And they're all right. There's no right or wrong way to decorate your house. There just isn't. I mean, I'm sure if you were like, I don't know where any of you as obsessed with like Jeff Lewis as I was when he was on Bravo. Like obsessed. I'm sure Jeff would be like, Whoa, there's a time and a place. But, you know, I, I think that it's all right. I mean, it's a hobby, it's a craft. And it's all about design and desire. So I want you guys to keep that in mind. All parts of the spectrum are good. Also, my husband purchased something for me, which again, this was purchased. And it was absolutely gorgeous. It was at a dairy here in the Kansas City Metro Area. We actually were out here visiting and this was a while ago. This was several years ago, we were out here visiting family. Was it me I have in laws that live in Kansas. So we were out here visiting family, and we went to shadow dairy, which is really cool. If you ever have the chance to visit you really should because you get to like milk a cow see how milk is made. And they have like so many flavors of milk, which is weird and awesome at the same time. If you've ever done a milk tasting, again, weird but also tangent, but anyway, they also in the shop had barn quilts. And so a lot of times we see barcodes that are painted on the sides of houses, they're on barns and garages and you know, large buildings. This barn quilt is about maybe 50 inches by 50 inches, and instead of being painted like a traditional or commonplace barnacle that you think of it was actually stained pieces of wood and the wood was all stained in like natural tones. So not colored in any way but it was all natural tones from like bleached driftwood all the way to like a nice like honey color. And it was a Lemoyne star. It's a Lemoyne star quilt block. And it's fabulous and that is on the wall in My living room. And so I've brought some quilty things into my home without them having to be so obviously quilted. No, I mean, like that is like my mom saw it. And she was like, that's really cool. That's beautiful. It's something I would put in my house. And my mom is not crafty, like not crafty at all. And she's like, that's, that's pretty cool. Um, and so there's, there's other ways to approach it is I guess what I'm trying to say. So that's quilty personalities and how to think about it. Now. What types of quilts are you displaying? is another thing that you really need to think about one for the use and longevity of your quilt sets themselves. And then, just for like, continuity sake, it's really going to, to adjust like what looks good, because at the end of this, we still want our house to look good. And what that means is different for all of us, which is wonderful, but we all still want our houses to look good. So we want to talk about like, what's a display quilt, and what's a functional quilt. So, a lot of my quilts like I would say 80% of my quilts are functional quilts. I like a quilt that you can use. I don't make you know show quality quilts very often. I usually when I make a show quality quilt, it's because I'm trying to put it in the show. Like very purpose driven. I, some quilters make, have standards where every quilt that they make is a show quality quilt. And that's really cool. And like kudos to them, I'll got time for that. Totally fine. So the reason why I want you to think about this is because the quote that you choose to hang on your wall that nobody is ever going to touch is going to be of a different quality than the quilt that you have on the back of your your couch. A show quality quilt one, you've probably put a sleeve on it. I know this is weird that that was my number one. But you've probably put a sleeve on it, which makes it hangable in several different ways. You know, you're using fabrics that would potentially not hold up to the test of time if it was getting scrunched in, bunched by or made into a forte by a seven year old. And so, you know, it might have a lot of whites, there might be some finer finishings to the fabrics, you might have used some more delicate sewing techniques, they might be completely hand stitched. There's a lot of things like that. Those are quotes that you want up on the walls that nobody's going to touch. Like no one's going to touch that thing. Okay. Now the quilt that goes on the back of the couch, and I keep on saying that and every time I say that in my head, I see that granny squares crochet quilt on the back of the Roseanne couch. Which is kind of giving me nightmares right now, to be quite honest. But like my quilt on the couch is actually either usually draped over the ottoman. Because we've got one of those big like 40 by 40 inch like giant Ottomans because we've got one of those like giant sectional kind of deals going on. Or it's like draped over the arm like it's, it's got like an artisanal drape going on. I'm not folding it in half and putting it over the back of the couch. Again, Decor Style. That's me, that's not us, that's fine. But that quilt that will get picked up 100 times a day. That quilt turns into capes, it turns into four tops. It's covered my husband and I while we cuddle and we catch up on love is blind. It does all of those things. And so those quilts are sturdy, they are sturdy. There's nothing fussy about them. And honestly, they're not sometimes they're not the most beautiful quilts. What I do, however, is the quilts that go on my couch are a different color scheme Don't hate me but Tula does not make it onto my couch and I love Tula I use her all the time Tula does not make it onto my couch because I want it to still go with the vibe. Now colors like this will sometimes make it onto my couch. Lots of have like, bright whites will make it onto my couch. You know, seasonal ones will make it onto my couch sometimes. So like a fourth of July ish one will make it out there something nothing that's overly for the July though, but that's more, that's more my personal choice. When I make a fourth of July cool, I don't use fabric that has like little flags on it. That's again, personal choice. I use something from like Michigan Simpson where the whole line is very red, white and blue. But it's traditional florals and whatnot. tangents left, right and center in this episode, guys, sorry. But I choose only quilts that are medium to large throw size, I don't want it to be too big because nobody wants a queen sized school on the couch. But I don't want it too small because I still want it to be actually be cozy and comfortable. So function we're thinking about function here. And then I do make sure that the color schemes go with my furniture and my decor at the time. So that's functional quilts. Now, there's like this subsection of functional quilts that we want to think about as well. Now some people are going to have you know, do like the lining of the drawers with the quilt with the like small quilts, which is great. But with those you might want to keep in mind when you're making them in the first place. You know the color choices that you pick so that they look good over time. What we would hate is like you use a really light color, and then they start to look dingy. And now what was a cute little surprise decor pop when your drawers are open now is kind of like a like are you gonna change that out kind of a deal. We want to avoid that. We want these things to still look beautiful. We want them to still good. So keep that in mind when you're choosing your fabrics. Another place that I personally do use quilting is in my potholders, love me a mini charm pack pot holder and like a casserole liner. So like I could put it down on my table and put a hot casserole on it. And like serve family style from there. And I don't burn my tabletop. I actually have a video and downloadable quilt pattern. If you're interested in making your own, so I'll put those in the in the description. But I use many charms for that which so quick, so inexpensive, they look great together. Because it's a full fabric collection that's been curated to go together. They're just they're just amazing. For those you can kind of do sky's the limit, because 90% of the time they're in a drawer, they're in a cabinet. And then they just get pulled out to handle hot dishes and whatnot. And I do have several sets of them. And so I do have a Christmas set. I do have a springtime set. I do have a summer like a picnic II set. And so it's just like a fun little like, Oh cute. But again, 90% of the time it's away in a drawer or in a cabinet. So at first glance looking around the house, you wouldn't really see it. Another thing that I have quilted, oh man, now I'm starting to really think about it. And I'm like, Oh, I'm I'm quilting the home decor. My husband. And maybe this isn't home decor because it goes in the camper, I guess. I don't know, I'll get there is my husband is an avid hunter. And my one of my sons is an avid fisherman. And so we have a camper that we take out often. And they go fishing and whatnot. And so we have this assortment of very pricey, heavy, extremely sharp knives that get thrown into a camper drawer. So I've created shifts for these knives so that nobody gets injured. rooting around in a camper drawer because things move in camper drawers because you're driving. And so those are really cool. And those ones you can get a little fun with you can get a little bright with you don't have to really think about it because again, they're in a drawer nobody's really seeing them but then you take them out and somebody's like oh my gosh, look at your little covers and you're like I know it's so cute right? I made it myself. We love that we love those woman's and by we I mean me. Just say I love be like yep, I made that no big deal. So with functional ones, though. We want to make sure that we're being conscience. So for things like those knife sheath knife sheets, which I've made out of just like quilt sandwiches and then bound them. What I've also done is I take liquid vinyl, which that brand heat and bond makes they come it comes in little jars, and you like, like pour it over your fabric. And it turns any quilting cotton into not quite as sturdy as like an oil cloth. But it gives it that repellent level. And I adore it, it's really easy to work with. I use that on it. And so then that way, it's wipeable. It's cleanable. It's not going to get grubby on you. Because I always think of these like my, my grandmother had these pot holders. And I just remember they were like brown around the edges and she adored them and they were beautiful. And she made them herself. And they were great. But I just don't want anything to ever look kind of grubby. That's just my own personal thing. It's just who I am. I like things to be bright. I like things to be white. I like things to be crisp. That's just my my thing. So this goes back to like decor personality kind of stuff. Okay, so that is like functional stuff. Another thing with functional is like the table runners table toppers placemats. I'm not really a placemat person. And I don't know if that makes me like a weirdo. I don't know I'm approaching 40. And I'm like, wow, I still don't have placements. Like I remember when my husband and I first moved in together. We were in our early 20s. And I was like we're not placemat people. And now I'm starting to think I'm like, oh, did we like Miss A boat here. But anyway, we're not really placemat people. But placemats are a great way to jazz up your table placemats are gonna get way more use and way more washing than a table runner or a table topper though. And so a table runner or tabletop or can be a little bit fussier can be a little bit fancier of materials, you can use, you know, some some different kinds of stuff there. You can bring out some silks. So like my Christmas one is kind of made of raw silks, which is just beautiful. But it's also not getting anything on it. I mean, there's a nativity set on it. We're we're pretty like, we don't touch it. A placemat. I mean, I've got I've got three boys under the age of eight. So placemats in my house would get pretty demolished, they would be getting washed all of the time. And maybe that's why I haven't gone into the placemat realm is that I went from a young husband to young children. And it's just like just why just leave the bottle of Lysol on the counter, because I'm just wiping everything all of the time, all of the time. But placemat so placemats have to be done a little bit more sturdily. And I just want to make sure I don't miss anything's. Okay. So that's kind of like the functional versus the display. Now, and we've talked about kind of places to display them where to display things we've got we've gotten, we've run the gamut from wall hangings, to bedspreads to, you know, actual functional kitchen items. Now let's talk about like display notions. If you want to display your quilt on the wall, there are I would say two really big ones, and then one that's like, used all the time that I really want people to stop doing. So let's talk about them. The first is using a curtain rod and curtain clips, which is actually how I display the quilt on the wall. Here in the studio. You can't see it because this one is actually melted to the ceiling. But most people would mount them to the walls. And it's just a traditional curtain run. And then curtain clips, which you can get so inexpensively. Like on Amazon, I will I will put like kind of examples and links to these in everything I'm about to discuss in the description. But curtain clips are just like rings like curtain rings that have little grippy clips on them and you just clip the top of the quilt and it hangs there. And it's really easy. It's easy to change them in and out. It doesn't injure the quilts at all. It's just a really, really good functional easy option that I think is probably one of the best options. You don't have to do anything different with your quilts, which is also a big second one is using some sort of rod system and putting a sleeve on the back of With your quotes, and this is where I was just mentioning like, you don't have to do anything special with the curtain clips. With the curtain rod, you're actually sliding the rod through the back of the quilt, which for some people love it, because then you usually don't see the rod at all. With the curtain clips, you're gonna see the rod, you're gonna see the clips, and you need to have like a pretty rod in a pretty, pretty clips. But with the sleeve option, you don't really see anything, you just see the quilt, which can be very appealing, for obvious reasons. But you will need to put a sleeve on the back of your quilts. For those of you who are making show quality quilts, this is not an issue, because you're already putting a sleeve on the back of the quilt because the shows require it. That's how they they display the quilts. And so you may already have sleeves on the back of all your display quilts anyway, not a big deal. Another version of the quilt clips is there. There's no rod involved. It's like, I don't personally have them. I've seen them, I kind of want to get them. But I haven't really decided if I'm a wall display person or not. So I haven't invested. But they are kind of like little, you can see my hand here doing something weird right? There, they're like little clamps kind of and they get screwed to the wall. And you open them up, you slide your quilts in, and then you ratchet them kind of down. And they're just little clips and they just kind of hold it up. So think about like, if you were to pinch a quilt in the corners and hold it up in front of you like how you see on, you know how you see on the internet, like quilters displaying stuff they like hold it up. That motion of how your hands are holding it is kind of how these clips hold it. If that makes sense. I don't know, I hopefully I'm describing it well enough, there will be a link in the description so that you can see actually what I'm discussing or trying to demonstrate. But those are really cool too. Super nondescript is what I like about them, you're talking about something that's like maybe two inches wide, three or four inches tall, and in relative to the sizes of the quilts that you're gonna hang. Pretty, pretty. pretty minimal. So that's those are pretty cool, too. Now, the option that I want people to stop doing, though everybody does it. And if I'm being 100% honest, I've done it as well, is using pushpins or teeny tiny nails to hold your quilts up for several reasons. One, if you're it's going to be a wall hanging, you're not concerned, it's never getting moved, you're never gonna see it down. I guess it's fine. But I personally don't think any of your quilt should be on the wall for that long for longevity. And I'll talk about that in a second. But what happens when you use a pushpin, or a tiny tiny nail is that it puts a little hole in the quilt. And the longer it hangs there, the longer that hole is going to remain. So what's interesting is you may make a mistake when you're sewing and you seem rip, and you see the holes from your needle stitches. But over time, you know, your your thread the the weave of the threads in the fabric kind of get back into shape and those holes go away. But if something but that's think about those holes have been there for 10 minutes tops, and then you're ripping them out and fixing it. A quilt that's hung from pins, those holes are going to be there for months. For some of you, they might be there for years. For some of you, they might be there for decades, like you don't know. Those holes are pretty stubbornly in there and then add in just the weight of the quilt pulling. They might be strong enough to hold up the quilt and you might not notice it, but there's still weight, there's still a drag happening there. And those holes are just not going to go away. And that's a bummer. It's just a bummer. Now, hopefully nobody's quilt is hanging for that long. Whether you are displaying your quilts on the couch on a quilt ladder in a basket. On the wall, we want to trade out our quilts regularly we want to rotate them regularly because exposure is the biggest demon to our quilts, sunlight, oils on our hands. This is what damages our quilts over time. We want them to be abused. We want them to be loved, but there's a reason why there's a quote that you're okay with putting in the back of your truck. And there's a reason why there's a quote that you're okay putting on your couch and there's a reason why there's a quote that you're not okay with anyone touching ever and We want to make sure that all of our quilts stay in the best possible position and condition that they could possibly be in. So we want to make sure that we are trading them out, especially the ones in our kitchens and our dining rooms. Not only are you battling the sun, and natural oils from our hands as we're handling things, but you're also battling kitchen grease and vapors and fumes from our cooking that can get in them as well. And that can majorly discolor fade or just be kind of grungy or grimy over the years. So there's also that now that was wall hangings in general that I was just discussing as far as like, we used to hang them up, quote baskets. I love a quote basket. I'm going to be implementing one this year. I just have to find the perfect basket. I saw a couple of IKEA and a couple of target that I'm obsessed with like big drum style baskets with like wire baskets with like leather or wicker or wooden handles that I can roll my quilts up into like little tubes and stick them in there. There'll be fun little pops of color in the corner. They can get pulled out to be used for forts because I mean I can't leave a blanket out with it not becoming a Superman cape or a fort top. It just is what it is in this house right now. It's it's my current phase of life. But I think that would be a lot of fun. And I mean I've seen this done in so many ways my mom is not a quilter and she always has had a basket of pillows and blankets in the corner of her living room. As a matter of fact, my mom used to have like such a museum quality living room my mom was is a very exacting person that she actually bought us like floor pillow pillows and blankets because like she didn't want us to get too cozy on the couch. True story because like her couch was brand new and beautiful and just too pretty for the peasants ie the children to sit on. This is a very true story. But anyway, a basket of quilts in the corner. Always fun, always cozy and it warms up a room. That's one of the things just light bulb. That's one of the things that I love about including quilts into our decor, especially for those of us in my generation where modern contemporary clean lines have kind of taken over which is great. I am also a person who is who is like that quilts add warmth, they add comfort. They make it look like people live here. And I personally think that that is very very important to include in a home you want it to look cozy, and quilts really help something look cozy. Oh pillows quilted pillows. Amazing, amazing way to add quilting to your decor have it not be a huge like whoa thing. And it's just really really cute and I do quilted pillows. Again, I have a tutorial video that I will link in the description below. Well, I've just got videos and links all up digging in for you guys today. Lots of stuff to really dive in and learn more about this topic, which I didn't think I had that much stuff but I've got a lot of stuff going on. But anyway, a quilted pillow Sham is always a great way to go as well. And it will add that warmth that comfort level. Another thing would be a quote ladder, which kind of obsessed with quote ladders. Now not awkward letters are created equal. They can range from $30 to like $400 They could be you know old steam pipe look, which is kind of cool. Through like really heavy high end like wood finishings. What I will say you want to look for when getting a quote ladder is for the space like the actual rung. So the space between the two posts to be at least 24 inches and that might actually look a little wide to you. But that is going to allow you to neatly fold your quilts and get a nice smooth drape to them. If it's too narrow. It'll get too bulky bunchy and it'll look weird. If it's too wide. It will kind of fall flat and they'll look more like sheets than quilts if that makes sense. Hopefully it does. But there you have it guys. That is the breakdown. don't have the home decor displaying your quilts have it all. Like I said, I have a ton of links for you to check out from the different display products that I mentioned to some tutorials for some of those home decor items that we discussed, as well as also all the information for the quilts on the wall. So all of that is in the show notes or the video description for you. I hope you have an amazing week. And don't forget to stop scrolling and start sewing. Bye for now.
