My wife is a quilter and for my birthday made me a small sampler quilt and
gave me 6 hand power tools.

No pictures of the tools????

Look Closer! ;~)

I saw the stuff on the quilt, I was asking about pictures of the real
tools to compare them to.

Interesting! How did she get the tool images onto the squares? I like
the power cord print (I have a box just like it in the back of my
shop!)

Hmm i if you haven't already, it might be time to build a quilting
frame. :-)

At Christmas I bought her a bunch of material. A couple of pieces were
loaded with pictures of power tools and one had the power cords. She cut
out the images out and appliqued them on to the quilt.

She is long past that, she got a Long Arm sewing machine 2 summers ago. I
did build a large cabinet to house the machine and its tracks, poles, and
brackets and IIRC it also had 8 or 9 drawers.

opportunity to see your wife's work yet.. She's very talented..

I've seen a few more examples of her quilting that'll knock your socks off.
Makes most of us wooddorker's efforts look like amateurs as far as
artisanship ... and, you don't want to sit to her left in a game of Canasta
either. DAMHIKT.

Sorry, it's a Baja thing..lol

My brother was a jet mechanic and during his training he worked in the
upholstery shop for a while..
He got a life-long interest in sewing and fabric there... says running a sewing
machine is just like a scroll saw.. *g*

Socks are those black leg coverings that go all the way up to your
knees, most commonly worn with black shoes, shorts, and a button-up shirt.

Ahh...
I've seen a variation of that here in tourist season...
New white running shoes, high black socks, cargo shorts and luau shirt...
Usually topped of with a "I've been to San Felipe" t-shirt a few sizes too small
and a "Baja California" bush hat....
Just a stunning display.... rofl
