Hi there! I will definitely post photos when they are done! I do a little vlog every month and I've been documenting the work there, too! I don't know if I'm allowed to post links to videos that we make, but I'm perfectly happy with working on things slowly. I do have a bit of experience, but I come from a garment making background - I make most of my own clothes and used to work in a textile restoration firm when I was in graduate school - so I have lots of sewing experience...just not quilting experience!

Welcome from Ontario, Canada. My big hand quilting frame back in the day, was 4 1X3 sanded boards held together with C clamps in each corner and it sat on 4 chair backs. In the old days, they sometimes used the board frames and suspended the corners from the ceiling. “Where there’s a will, there’s a way.“

Those are good thoughts - I machine quilted my first quilt - this is my first hand quilted one. My hope is that it'll become the "living room project" -- that is, the project I work on while we're just hanging in the living room together. The zook Quilting frame does lift up but I'm not sure if it's able to be angled. We'll see once it's built!
