Not OT: Table top quilt stand

My bailiff is a finish carpenter in his off hours.

He has lots of short scraps of wood, and I am wondering if there is a market for a table-top quilt stand? A nice base, about 15=16" long by

4-5"wide, with 13-14" vertical braces up each side, drill keyholes on each side to allow a dowel to slip through, hang a small piece between. You could change it out each month/season/whenever, and give you a chance to do a lot of small pieces/try new techniques/make quick gifts, etc. Many at work want to buy something like that to put in chambers or on their desk. It would be perfect for small pieces of my "Just Ties Justice" series.

Does it sound like there would be a market for something like this? What would be a fair price for a finished stand like this? Greg [my bailiff] says he would be interested in trying something like this to use up his scraps.

Thanks in advance for your input.

There are quite a few stands available for hanging miniatures, Ginger. Try looking them up and see what you think? It does sound nice. . In message , Ginger in CA writes

I have three small stands like this in my home and change the quilts with the season. One stand has a piece of jute instead of the rod and the quilt is held in place with miniature clothes pins. This is more of a country feel. The second stand is as you describe. The third stand is a rather elaborately turned stand made to look like a real quilt stand. The quilts fold over the small stand just like they would on a large quilt rack.

I suggest you have him make you a dozen or so to keep >My bailiff is a finish carpenter in his off hours.
