Pam in WV

I had a neighbor long,long ago that had a quilt frame that would hang from the ceiling on chains. I think it had a chain for each corner of the quilt, but I can't remember much more then this. I think she told me it was like the one that her great-grandmother had. I wondered if anyone else has ever seen or used one, and could give me some details.
Thanks, Pam

I have seen them hanging by chains, but I have also seen some that were raised and lowered using pulleys :D:D:D

Here in the south it was the norm to have the frames hanging from the ceilings on a pulley system. On Saturdays or what ever day was chosen the women would get together and quilt while exchanging the news of the week (gossiping).

This is what my DH made for me,and I still have them. My mom also used this for all her quilts, over 450.
