    Default I gave him his and he gave me mine

    I made my mechanic mike a quilt as a secial thank you for all the help he has given me over the years. It's not fancy or complicated in design but it just had his name all over it. A pic is attached.

    He then went to his car and brought back the other thing pictured below. He said he saw it at a yard sale and thought of me so he bought it. I dont know how much he paid for it but i told him he got a great deal cuz its worth almost $100. I see now its not quite that expensive but this was still amazing!!! I'm not sure which ond of us went home happier!

    I'd say that you both got a good deal. Not just the quilt and tools, but also the friendship and thinking how to bless each other.

    What a blessing each of you are to each other. Finding a good, reliable mechanic is such a rarity, but to find one as thoughtful as yours that would see a quilting item at a garage sale and pick it up with you in mind... My dear you have one gem of a mechanic and he obviously has a gem of a customer. The pinup girl quilt is fun.
