I have found the most beautiful old quilted garments.

Okay, I know its just a slip, but LOOK at it!
That amount of quilting on something no one will ever see? Crazy. They had alot of time during those harsh New England winters.
I think its fabulous, say what you will. I found this on a wonderful website ...

Why isnt everything quilted?? WHYY? Also, why is it so hard? everytime I try and do it, something goes arwy. I suppose I am just learning, and these things are done with an insane machine, where you load your fabric onto a frame and then sit atop it in a magic sewing chair and fly around over it, quilting until there is nothing left to quilt. I am supposed to be writing a paper about art right now, by the by.
