No one in the family had an interest in quilting. It is hewn from solid walnut, with two 96" round poles that fit into holes in stanchions (also of solid walnut - 2" thick! Their is one on each end. A flat 2x2" pole fits into a divot in the base of each stanchion and serves a a footpad. The poles create a quilt space of approximately 23" x 90"... and the entire quilt sandwich can be easily rolled onto the poles and rolled to the next area for quilting. My husband remembers being told to be quiet of leave the parlor on "Quilt days". Easily set up and used, It could accomodate quilters on each side of the large frame. Eleanor Heidelmeier nee Bever, was from West Virginia. the frame was made for the mother of her Great Aunt Dorothy Bever died in 1955. My husband was born in 1948, and his mother and father moved into the family farm and lived there in his very young years, while his father worked in a glass factory in Clarksburg. The farm as in Cabin Run area, hand hewn of virgin Walnut logged from their farm site - a large chicken and turkey farm. It was thought to be made up by her mother's brothers as a wedding gift, most likely in the 1830's!! I have one of Dorothy Bever's hand pieced tops of a beautiful mariner's star in cheddar and white. The pegs that hold the poles fast are hand carved, and kept in a Medicine bottle, which label from Clarksville, West Virginia, that reads "Warfarin" 1953, So Dorothy likely suffered from a Heart ailment! Their are springs and iron straps on one side at each stanchion that allows one to roll the quilt and lock it down, very ingenious and fashioned from iron straps, no doubt from some unused or discarded farm equipment. All hand hammered... It is a wonderful, still sturdy frame that I use from time to time and trot out for the Austin Area Quilt Guild's biennial quilt shows for some demonstration of hand quilting work! The quilt frame has seen many years of quilting, and a few years as a stand for my Mother in Law's parrot cages in Florida!!! - Karen Alexander, Austin, Tx, wife to Joseph HEidelmeier.karenquiltslifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216453992810942063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4281798505305352117.post-60849217328366128472024-02-13T12:38:43.179-06:002024-02-13T12:38:43.179-06:00No Dawn.
