I just thought since everyone is showing their vintage machines, you'd be interested in seeing my quilt frame.
I added the cross pieces because those have been lost. They are just 2 x 2 inch pieces of wood.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen one like this?
Mine is exactly like yours, but the gal (who was 80 when she made it for me) put canvas on the poles to attach the quilt sandwich to. She made me one as I admired the one her husband made for her 40 some odd years ago. I hope I'm that awesome when I'm 80!
