I really hope she got more than the $35 she got for the crib quilt!
I have never seen the quilting frame that suspended from the ceiling before. that is a clever idea, easier to get to to sew. That's the pattern to have.
thanks for the post:)

But it was interesting watching her cut out her fabric with SCISSORS with a homeade template, and then sew it with her Coats & Clark thread, and then quilt it by hand on her homemade frame.
To me it was really nice to see what someone could do without all of the gadgets and gizmos, and she turned out BEAUTIFUL quilts!
Give it a watch if you think it will interest you.

I first started quilting in the early 80's. The teacher I had was very old school. First we had to learn how to hand piece everything. No sewing machine. After a few years and a lot of complaints the teacher caved in and let us piece by machine. No rotary cutters in those days. We made cardboard templates. I am amazed by all the gadgets we have today. I love making quilts faster and better. I especially appreciate check book quilting. Thank you to the wonderful long arm quilters.
