I decided to have a quilt frame hanging from the ceiling one time. That quilt was up in the ceiling for 10 years! I finally took it down and took to a quilter to finish hand quilting. I found that I did not like to hand quilt, that was why it hung up there for so long. linda

That's how my grandmother quilted... my mother HOB tells stories of how they would piece during the winter and quilt the spring and summer so there would be covers for the next winter.

Never mind the cats, I think it looks like a good hammock...

My grandma had one of these suspended over her dining room table. When the ladies of the family/neighborhood came to quilt, the table was moved against a wall & we kids played underneath while the quilting & solving the worlds problems took place above our heads.They weren't just grandma's quilts either, anyone who needed help got it.

Does that not make you wonder what these women would think if they could come into our sewing rooms now? What a treasure that photo really is

This is how I learned to hand quilt from my grandmother, she used this method!

My grandmother had hooks in the ceiling of her living room to hang the frame from. Like Rann, I used to sit under the quilt and listen to the gossip as the ladies in the community got together to quilt.

That is amazing!! I have never seen one of those.I almost wish that I was there working with those woman..That is so intelligent! Just pull it up to the ceiling and out of the way and then down again when ready to use.Thanks for sharing this.I learned something today!
