I found this at a garage sale yesterday. The older man said he had made it for his wife who has now passed away. Anyone quilt on something like this? I got it for $20. I put a small quilt on it and it seems pretty comfortable to use.

Never seen anything like it but it seems very sturdy and well made. If it works and its comfortable to use then its a bargain.

I like this. I have one that is like it only very rickety. This looks so sturdy and useable! Good find:)

It is very sturdy. Has adjusters for height and tilt of quilt top frame.

That looks like a wonderful find! And since he made it for his wife...you know there's a LOT of love in it! I'm sure it made his heart glad to know that it will be used by someone who loves quilting like his wife did.

And it's pretty to boot! Good find! Love the foot rest.

What kind of strap does it use????
I do like it... :thumbup:

what a wonderful find. so well made to, congratulations

I think this frame is great. Portable, not huge and looks sturdy.

I think you are one lucky lady ,looks like it is made very well, congrats on great buy.

great find!! love it!

looks useful...btw...love the hot pink and lime quilt...it's awesome!

Love the foot rest!

Never seen one like that before.

Great find!! I love it. Lucky you!! Enjoy! Did he by any chance sign & date when he made it? Someone down through the years will want to know.

Nice find

Love the look of this! Especially the foot rest. Great find, cool history.

It's a lightweight velcro with a small belt buckle and holes in it like a belt.

I will have to turn it over and check that out. Good Idea

Pam B8s Thanks for the answer....
You are one lucky lady to find this!!!

My husband is going to try and duplicate it next weekend I think. Next weekend to me is 7 days to him maybe a couple months. LOL :)

You are very fortunate.

I showed it to my husband,too!!! He has a beautiful piece of Cherry that would be nice for this..... I'm like you....He is so into the garden, well, I probably won't see mine till it is under the Christmas Tree!!! lol lol but I'll take it!!!!! hehehe
At least they will make them for us........

At first I thought it was a rug hooking frame! It looks great...if you ever decide to sell it I would buy it from you for rug hooking!

I have one my husband made from an oval hoop. The base if very similar to the one pictured. I LOVE it! Being able to adjust the slant of the frame is great. I can do any size quilt on mine. I hope you like yours :D

I have one similar to this I got at the goodwill a few years ago...I love it!! For larger quilts I just use quilt clips to hold the rest of the quilt up and keep it from dragging on the floor. Enjoy!!!
