What a wonderful quilt frame! Lucky you to have such a handy hubby! Your quilt is surely going to become a cherished heirloom! I remember my great-grandma had a frame that lowered from the ceiling by pulleys and I'd play under it as all the ladies quilted. Thanks for bringing back those memories. Hugs!
Really innovative set up. When I first saw the stand, I thought of my embroidery stand. Thanks for sharing it. I hope I have need of it soon!
Are you quilting or hand embroidering? This is the way my grandmother quilted, except for the stands, she used her ladder back chairs.
What a fabulous set-up. I love hand quilting and wish I'd do more of it. I've only used a giant hoop. I might do more if I had a wonderful frame and companion to sit with me and do it. You are quite fortunate.
I too, wish I did more quilting...it's the cutting out that I don't like. It's hard on my back. Yes, I'm lucky that when I can explain what I want, he can usually build it. He and I together, built the house we live in now. I find building with wood, is like 'building' with fabric...but I don't like SAWS....lol
How wonderful that your husband quilts and made the frames. You are a very lucky woman. Love Chris
I tell him, while I sew with fabric, he sews with wood. I am scared to use a saw. He used to help his mamma quilt. Like I said below, with 12 kids, she needed quilts!
great quilt, great setup and great man, lucky you,
hugs

I had no idea what the stands were, so it is nice to see how useful they are. It great to see them in action...hugs Kerry
Kerry, my mother-in-law had four hooks, in her ceiling. Her frame was suspended on small ropes, tied to the hooks and the corner of her frame. When she had to stop quilting, she would wind the rope around the frame,at each corner, raising the quilt. It would hang at the ceiling, until morning cooking/chores were done and she would lower it and quilt again, in the evenings, until her quilt was finished.
Yes, I need to keep him...we're too close to the end now-lol- (married for almost 48 years)
