    I have the same kind that my father in law made for my mother in law. They both died in 1989. I don't use them because I don't do much hand quilting. I have quilted on them while my mother in law was stll living. Nice memories.

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 recently bought a frame like this at an Estate Sale, except it has 2 shorter boards and the cut out on one end is curved. I wasn't sure how to set it up, so I am glad I saw yours.

    Default I have the same frame!

    Hi,

    I am the proud newest owner of a craigslisted frame like that. It is now in Needham, MA but before me was out on Cape Cod and before that was part of a quilting group in Concord, MA I believe. I am attempting to add rails, and a carriage and a Juki to interface with it so I can medium arm quilt. My two center poles are approx. 2"x3" but my outer two wooden poles are round with cogs on both sides. I haven't set it up yet but I bought new canvas to make new leaders for it. Yours is the only one I have ever seen kind of like mine. I am going to try and insert pics.

    Yes, I have seen one like it. My grandmother had it set up in the livingroom/bedroom at their old farm house back in the 1950's.

    That sounds like the old clothes rack we had in the kitchen when I was young; it was for drying washing and mother would wind it up and down when needed; they were the days when we had little old tin bath which also hung up and came down when needed; water had to be boiled in kettle!!
