Obviously she's gotten carried away and I think a bit greedy. I wish you luck in finding one.
We have a lady in our guild who also had 13 but I do think she acquired another..each of hers are named and they are all used. She keeps them in wonderful working condition and alternates using them. She makes magnificant large quilts and sews on nothing but her FWs.
