For Sale
After almost 50 years of quilting and collecting, I find I need to downsize a bit. It seems I have more quilting tools, hoops, frames, etc. than anyone could use in several lifetimes. I'm happy to see a new generation of people interested in handwork and I'd like these tools to go to people who will really use them.

Some of these frames are old, well-loved pieces, and some are new or barely used.
