Sewing room quilt hangers

While I have been gallivanting around the German and French countryside, going to mini-retreats and the Patchwork Europe 2012 festival, my darling husband has been finishing his honeydew list (Honey, do this, please, then Honey, do that).  On the weekend of the mini-retreat he installed a new ceiling lamp.
When I walked into the room and flipped the switch, it was as bright as day, even though it was still dark outside.
Last Thursday, he took the Ikea curtain rods we'd bought, and installed a dual rail around 3 of the 4 walls. Now I have a delightful dual rack to hang quilts on.
Here are a few pictures, both before and after a few quilts have been hung. The Spring quilt is hanging in front of the roses quilt, and there's a little space to move them back and forth when I need to.
Now to just re-tidy my little things and move the sofa into the room.
This was the first time we'd moved the 830, which we put in the other bedroom so there was no chance of accidentally dropping a drill on my precious Kunnigunde.She survived the move and I've sewed again without problems. The machine wasn't nearly as heavy as I expected.

Here the dual rails

Here the lamp and see how nicely he hung the rails end-to-end?

Now showing one quilt in front of another

And the opposite wall
