Why you have curtain rods across you poles?

Great story and quilt.

DaineH - those are supports for the clamps that hold the ends of the quilt on the frame. It keeps them up and out of the way, especially if I have the ruler support on the machine.

Love this quilt, it's nice that it's finished now.

It's nice and original looking - great job on the binding too! Sounds like an heirloom for someone!

Great quilt! I love the binding!

It's a pretty quilt and your sister is going to love it.

She will be thrilled. Great job

What a wonderful surprise for your sister. A lot of memories there.

I think she'll love it.
