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?

I have one similar which my husband made for me a few years ago.

That is wonderful

I haven't seen one like this before. I have taken the liberty of bookmarking. My husband is primarily a metalworker, but I reckon he could make one for me. Your Grandfather's design is simple but effective. Very cool - thanks for sharing your vintage treasure.

very nice. how is the quilt attached to the boards?

Nifty!

Great idea for not taking up much space.

That is so neat that you are using it now---think of all the quilts it has seen!

That is really neat. I used to have one similar to that, but I don't know what happened to it when I moved.

A very compact little device. How clever! Therese
