Quilting Frames hanging from the ceiling

When I was at the Territorial Fair in Little Rock this past weekend quite a few people mentioned how their grandma or aunt or whoever would have a quilting frame hanging from the ceiling. I had heard about these quilting frames and thought they were mainly used in the 1800′s but from the way it sounds in Arkansas anyhow people were still using these frames in the early 1900′s to 1930 or so. Here is a link to an article about them.
