This quilting frame is assembled by arranging the pieces of wood with the slits horizontally and slotting the metal rings on top of each leg through the slit. The handles on the wooden poles are then fed through the metal rings to secure the frame in place. This frame originally belonged to the donor's sister, Marjorie. |
