Man Quilting

My Loving Spouse had been worried about what he was going to do with all his down time during THE knee recovery period this summer.  (So, we know how that went!)  There always seems to be some small new thing he is interested in doing and manages to prepare well in advance to do it…which usually means buying tools.manquiltpc1He procured a collection of leather working tools from Ebay and started watching ‘how to’ videos on YouTube which always seemed to include the sound of hammering….or a tap tap tap tap tapping.  manquiltpc2I call it ‘Man Quilting’ and just like my quilting, he has a lot of projects in mind for this winter.  Belts, saddle numbers, rifle slings…and if you know him, you know he’s most interested in making things for others….need some chaps?manquiltingpc4

    Ooooo! I remember doing leather work when I was in college. I had a few tools but the workshop had LOTS. How wonderful that you can craft side by side on those cold winter nights.

    He’s done a great job there Ellen. Kind of reminds me of card making. Haven’t done that in a long time but we sure do have some fun card making tools!!

      It is Dawn, I’ve even given him some of my storage containers to keep the small parts organized.
