Help me identify, please?

So... what exactly is this box full of? I'm going to assume that it's a hand quilting setup of some sort, maybe? I received it from a friend's mother along with a ton of fabric. The fabric I can use, but I don't do any handwork. If I knew what it was, I could offer it up on Freecycle or something similar. Thanks!

The big oval is a quilting hoop, the square one with the wingnuts is a frame to hold your cross stitch while working on it. The long pieces that look like T's are the legs to one of the frames so you don't have to hold it in your hand. Others look like plain embroidery hoops.

Thank you all very much! That was exactly what I needed to know and I appreciate the quick responses. I've put them up on Freecycle, so hopefully they'll be on their way to someone who can use them soon. :)

The rectangular one can also be used for needlepoint etc. The rest -without knowing the sizes - are embroidery and the large oval appears to be large enough for hand quilting.
You might offer them up for sale here - lots of ladies do hand work here.

The large ovals and circle ones with wing nuts are hand quilting hoops. The one I bought some time ago was $25.00 for a smaller one. You might want to keep one or two in case you ever want to try hand quilting. Hand quilting is a great take along project.
