I wish I had seen your quilting frame before I started because I cut and tried to put together wooden saw horses... then realized I had folding ones in the storage shed! They are metal but that is what I used. They may be a little too high to sit comfortably at while quilting though. I will try it. I have 2 carpenter sons so maybe they can put the saw horses together that I started so the wood wont go o waste. I am sure they can use them. Bothe of them have built their own houses and the 3rd son is now working on remodeling an old house. I will revisit your website again.

I loved reading about the quilts and am so happy your dad made you a frame. I hope you're keeping a journal of all your quilting activities!

Seem to remember that you were moving to a different location and hadn't checked for a while. Glad that I did - the eye candy was nice and the frame is marvelous. <BR/>Thanx from SE TexasAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068821.post-40515815898221162202008-02-15T22:53:00.000-05:002008-02-15T22:53:00.000-05:00alaska family - I replied to your email but I will...alaska family - I replied to your email but I will also post here in case anyone else is wondering too... ;)<BR/><BR/>Daddy and I began rolling one poll at the same time and keeping the same tension and rolled close to the middle then did the same for the other side. Then we picked it up and carried it over…. We looked like to EMT’s carrying a stretcher ;) LOL. It took us a few adjustments of rolling out and back in with one of the polls to get it to sit right in the frame but wasn’t any problem. <BR/><BR/>On this frame, the slots that the polls go in measure 23.5” between each other…he said he just guessed at it.. not knowing how big I wanted it. The saw horse is exactly 32 from the outside end to the other outside end. I hope this helps you! <BR/><BR/>Thanks for visiting my blog!! <BR/>Love form Texas!! ~bonniebingo~bonniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04591187786013490106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35068821.post-19362128393886396202008-02-15T16:20:00.000-05:002008-02-15T16:20:00.000-05:00Hi Bonnie,I loved reading about your frame and you...Hi Bonnie,<BR/>I loved reading about your frame and your family's treasured quilts!

I would like to know how far apart are the slots that the rods rest in? I also find it so very hard to get the quilt top,middle and back on the first rod to start rolling. Do you have a trick that you use to keep it all straight?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
