So----I was at work (you know, where I work for fabric!!!) the other day and a woman walks into the shop. She says she has an old quilt frame in the trunk of her car that belonged to her mother-in-law, who recently died. Did anyone want the frame??? She was going to take it to Goodwill and donate it if no one did!! The shop owner had no interest in it--so I got next dibs :lol: Here it is----it is about 50 or so years old. I am a happy camper.

No!!! I was thinking more about using it to display quilts on. I don't think these poor old hands would let me hand quilt even if I wanted to. :-)
