Quilting Frame

[KareyABohr]

One of my very good friends built me a three pole, basteless quilt frame made out of soild oak! It is SOO beautiful and absolutley heirloom quality, my great-great-grandchildren will be quilting on this.
He has made more to sell to local quilt artisans. If interested PM me!

Thank you!
I nearly fell over when I saw it. Talk about exceeding expectations. I have a quilt that I started hand quilting that I am going to finish up in this baby! That "Attic windows" quilt will have to wait until after my son's "Tractor Rail Fence" Quilt is done.

That is awesome!

How do the rollers fit into the side. My Dad made me one from a pattern I bought but the rollers slip and don't hold it taught.

Is it the rollers or the gears that slip?
I could send you gears to replace them. It seems to me that if you "jig" saw the gears they don't hold tight.
If you replace those they will hold your quilt tighter than a drum!
Let me know!

No gears. He just put on rollers that are held tight with wing nuts.

Share pics!
I would love to see it.
No matter what the frame looks like, your grand-daughters will LOVE knowing they are quilting on a frame that their GREAT-grandfather made for their Grandmother!
That is such a cool feeling.
