That's certainly a wonderful family heirloom. Hopefully you'll be able to pass it on one day.

I have seen one like it. But not exact. The one I have seen has
rollers on the sides. With the 2 x 2 running from one end to the other. Mom wasn't happy with it cuz it would bow when you
had a large quilt on it.
This one looks like it may have a straighter edge. Would like to see
it with a larger quilt.
Looks very comfortable with the smaller boards.

quote=fleurdelisquilts.com]My grandfather made this quilt frame for my grandmother years ago. He died in 1972, so it's at least 40 years old. I don't remember seeing my grandmother use it, but my mom used it quite a bit. I just thought since everyone is showing their vintage machines, you'd be interested in seeing my quilt frame.
I added the cross pieces because those have been lost. They are just 2 x 2 inch pieces of wood.
I was wondering if anyone else has ever seen one like this?[/quote]
