LOL - DH gets that forlorn look on his face when I spend too much time in
the sewing room in the evenings. I am fortunate enough to have days for "my
time" so I like to be with him in the evenings unless he needs to work.

Thanks! I always like looking at other frame options. I have one, love
it, but always like to look around to see if something works better or
you know.... you could have two going if your hubby wasn't paying
attention. ;-)

Simply Quilts had directions for a quilting frame this morning. I was
impressed! I have a frame sitting in the garage that I never use
because you have to do all this set up that I'm just not willing to
do, however this one is so simple! 2 wooden sawhorses and 2 X 2 boards
a couple of bolts and voila! If you have to buy all the pieces it is
under $40. If your husband already has the sawhorse brackets you can
borrow (laughs) them I guess, but I think I'd rather have new ones
since the whole set up is so simple. I'm sure there are directions on
the Simply Quilts web page. I have gone there and they have all the
programs listed by date.

For those of you who have never done hand quilting because you didn't
have a frame, this is great! I tried to do my hand quilting with a big
hoop, but I wasn't really happy with that, so the frame is the way to
go. It doesn't take up too much room - just push it up against a wall
when you aren't using it, and you can EASILY take it apart when you
don't have a quilt on it.

I am really excited about this. Guess I'll find someone who wants that
frame in my garage and build my own.
