I found this pipe quilt frame on Joannes website. I printed a picture of it and put it on my bullitin board as a reminder of where to buy one when I could scrape up $100 for it. It was on my wish list. I've been hand quilting with an 18" hoop that I'm always having have to reposition every 15 mins or so. My kind, sweet, adorable husband saw my picture and a light bulb went off in his head. He works construction on new houses and asked the plumbers to save any pc pipe that they didn't need for him. Within the day he had all the piping he needed. Yesterday we put it together and it works wonderfully. It wasn't hard to put together at all. We did have to buy 8 clamps for $20 but all in all it made my day. I am one lucky girl and I thank my lucky stars for a husband like him. I think I'll keep him.
