A group of quilters from Yakima saw the same exhibition and could not believe our eyes. All of her work was gorgeous. I think the quilter was Sally Collins, correct? Great show. Spentl too much money, but well worth the cost as I will now have an acrylic table for my Featherweight.

I'm going to have to ask a real stupid question.

how do they sew the seams?

this is not a stupid Q-I was wondering the same thing -talk about eye strain and cramped fingers and lose of blood from pricking your fingers

I think her name is "Sally Collins". I went to a show a number of years ago where she was the featured quilter. Fantastic....she has several books out....is aging so not sure of what she does anymore.
