Getting Crafty

I've started on Leanna's birthday quilted wall hanging. I made one for Justin two years ago-Nemo, and both Leanna and Timothy have complained that they want one too. When I told Tom that he said, "I want one too! With Tigers!"
So I guess I have my work cut out for me!

When I opened the cutting tool (pictured) Justin said, "Wow! Cool tool!" We're thinking he'll be Tom's helper at work one day. : )

I too, believe he is going to be Tom's helper. Tom will be saying to him, "Justin get me that, Justin clean this up, Justin put this away for me." He has to start somewhere, when he starts working for his daddy. But I bet he will be as good as his father is in his remodeling.

Tom always liked working with his hands from the time he could play with his toys. If he wasn't building something out of wood. He was working on his cars.

What is that tool and what is it used for? Never saw one before.

Justin takes apart all our flashlights! He's always carrying around Tom's tools. I'd bet he's got the mechanical talent.

The tool is a rotary cutter-it just cuts the material. You run it against the white board in the picture with the mat underneath to measure and cut the material into squares. I didn't have those when I made Justin's-let me tell you, it's much easier this way!!
