Does any one know ?
 

Trust me, it is quilting related. I know what this is but does anyone else? This sweet little bit became one of my treasures today. She was found at an antique store and I paid less than $20. for her and she is priceless to me.

I hope I give some people a smile when I reveal her later, like Wednesday, maybe!:D
I am going to enjoy seeing answers.
Make your week a good one.
peace

? odd picture showed up.

It looks to me as, if it were opened, it would be one of those things around which you wrap yarn after it has been spun.

Mmmm... Quilt related? Not big enough to be a folding quilt display rack. A priceless treasure? I don't have the answer but will also be waiting to see some of those answers, so come on ladies. What do you think?

at first I thought it was a cloths dryer, but then it's too small. now you got me.

Does it hold spools of thread when you open it up?

Looks liked a fence and you push it into the ground. Strange.

Is it a quilting frame of some sort?

I think a holder for little spools of threads etc.

You have me stumped.

I can see it being a small toy folding crib. Goes with the dolls anyway.

Wool winder, put balls in flat area .

I have NO idea...but can't wait to see the answer! It is beautiful, just sitting there!

What does it look like when the ends are expanded?

Does it open up???

Definitely looks like it expands to become a bigger something.....but you've got me.

I'm going to guess it's a collapsible hand quilting frame or embroidery frame. Wild guess!

I'm thinking it might be a sewing "box" for holding needles, scissors, thread, etc. and expands open when needed. Now I just have to remember to come back later this week to find out what it really is.

maybe a collapsible sewing caddy?

Is it a folding fizzbin?

Tate

Fizzbin, that will be its' official name from now on, nice try!

I will post Wednesday evening. Ii is fun to see the creative ideas everyone has.
peace

It looks like it might open out into a small crate or basket- or doll bed? At first I though it was one of those folding things for marking equidistant segments but it wouldn't need to have 2 scissoring sides. I'm stumped.

Expanding book rack?

It is a sewing box that stands and opens up what lids on the top and then it has departments one under another.

Looks like a quilt rack for mini quilts..

I haven't read all the posts, but if you were a spinner and dying your own skiens, I would hang them there to drip and dry.

Looks like an accordion fold doll crib.

I am jealous! It looks to be an expandable sewing or knitting cradle. Very good find! So fun when you come across something so interesting!

Looks like an expanding sewing/knitting bag to me.

Might be a stand for holding hanks of wool in order to wind them into a ball

You haven't showed us the inside. I'm guessing that it's got dowels inside and you can hang strips of fabric on the dowels to keep them organized.

Looks like a scissor type gate to me.

I think it is a table to set your sewing machine on. It stretches out and the top comes up. Anxious to see what it is.

I thought it was a clothes drying rack, but it is too small. Is it a thread case?

What a fun thread, I think it is a collapse-able sewing kit. Have never seen one like that but that's my guess and I will just have to wait and see.

Well, at first it looked like a folding clothes rack, but it's probably too small. Can't wait to see what the answer is on Wed. You've got me stumped.

Is it a button hole spacer, that you can also measure pleats and tucks with?

What it looks like to me is an expandable magazine rack, but that is not quilting related. Maybe it holds quilting patterns or books?

Looks to me that, if opened, it could be a bassinnette.

It looks like a folding wine rack to me....just goes to show where my mind is going!!! Fun thread. Looking forward to all being revealed on Wednesday.
