Before and after

Tonight I got a phone call from my brother-in-law, Pat. He's always been like my little brother. He was only 9 when we got married. Why at times I feel like I cradled him on my bosom. Oh wait, that's another story.

Anyway he wanted me to take an after picture of his meat tenderizer. You see back in April of 2010 we were at an auction and he bought this piece of equipment. The machine worked good, but it needed some deep cleaning.





So he brought it over for the after picture. It looks brand new. He insisted asked me to take an after picture for my blog, because he reads my blog everyday. It was important to him to show the finished product.

It was then his daughter, who was with him, asked me to hem a pair of dress pants for her. He said "No, don't you know asking a quilter to mend, is like asking a chef to do dishes". It was then that I really did believe him, because I have that quote on my side bar.



So Pat, this ones for you. The finished meat tenderizer.
