Just one comment. "This ain't woodworking buddy"

Married to an engineer who has spent his career working in 1000'ths. OMG - that is close enough - it doesn't have to be exact to within 60 thousandths.... It comes in handy when I need something calculated - but life isn't exact.
I go around the house tilting pictures - just to keep him on his toes. LOL

When I need a circle or half circle, I scrounge around until I find something already in that shape- plate, lid circle cutter. I'm saving my brain cells for stuff that I don't have the templates for! Math is not my area! But I loved that show "Numbers"- go figure! I appreciate the people that can do the math, geometry, trig, etc. - just don't try to explain it to me! Haha

Years ago my Attorney advised me to start a new home business. I decided to go into woodworking. My then husband laughed and said...Honey, you've never even nailed up a picture on the wall.... My reply...I've been in the sewing business for years, I can't see theres much difference, only wood doesn't bend. I had a faily successful woodworking business, making reproduction antique Baby Cradles. I loved my shop! However, due to relocating, and retireing, am back to my first love....the sewing machine! Sometimes I still yearn for my days and nights alone in my little shop, with christmas lights in the windows, and snow glittering on the ground outside..Such wonderful Peace.
Keep up the good work Don!

No, "plywood doesn't bend" and figures don't compute in this pore ol' over-medicated brain of mine. If my quilt pattern doesn't have the figures right and I sew by them, I just pitch it, and go find another pattern for the color combination I have selected. Works for me......and your cover looks great. The only thing, if you ever offer to put up a tute on it, be sure and "make it right".....
