Now two artists participate, and, as they say, you can't make too many.<br /><br />In our world women want to sew quilt tops, but not piece them. The layers still need fastened together and it is not easily done on a home sewing machine.<br /><br />Enter the person who can make the long arm sing. Machine quilting is an art form in the quilting world. Take a look at Jan's web site, www.ewetree.com.
