Kaylen Reynolds, Quilter |
 |
|
Kaylen Reynolds, Quilter Extraordinaire, is one of a new breed of
artists. In recent years, the design and cost of quilting machines
has made it possible for the devoted individual crafter to have
his/her own quilting machine in his/her home. This has brought about
a group of artists that take the beauty of a simple quilt and make
it extraordinary in much less time than traditional hand quilting
takes. Kaylen Reynolds is one of these artists.
For the past four years, Kaylen has been machine quilting out of
her home in SeaTac.
