Looks like they are embroidery hoops - there may even be a floor model one judging by the thicker pieces (look like they could be the leg/feet?

The 1 that looks like a half circle w/ a rod across, I believe is a hoop for quilting the edges of a quilt. I have one. |
embroidery hoops and teh one with the long pieces is used for cross-stitching

Looks like hand quilting and embroidery hoops to me.

You are right they are quilting frames. I see two I recognize.

You slip the canvas into the split sides and twist the round dowels until your surface is taught and then you screw the metal nuts till they are tight. As you complete the section you are working on, you loosen it, twist and start needle pointing on the next section. I thought quilting would be easier...it is NOT just much bigger and different.
