I have a request.... kind of unusual... maybe not that unusual. Anyway, I am an auditor and I want to stitch a accounting themed sampler for a co-worker whose birthday is right at out Federal Income Tax deadline. I want to use the saying

"In God we Trust,
... all others we audit."

I thought about using a border of the mathematic symbols of + - x and /. I would also like to maybe put a calculator in the 4 corners.

The only problem is that I don't have pattern making program and can't draw to save my life. I just want to be able to make this for a friend and maybe myself.
So here goes..... HELP!

PLEASE HELP!

Just the word audit and federal income tax make me nauseated. I can't make patterns and even if I could I would be afraid the jesting would some how curse me and then I would get audited.

So I suggested maybe someone overseas chart this? LOL

MaeMae you are too funny! We just about ourselves all the time! Ironically enough we don't even do anything with income taxes. We audit nursing homes. My friend got the quote from another co-worker and friend that just retired We thought it would look perfect next to her CPA license and would be a great b-day gift too!!!

BTW I am a horrible friend and am still plannign on sending those kits to you. I put in 110 hours last pay period, ad haven't had much free time.

Your not a horrible friend! Work, especially what you do, is important. No worries here

Go to the Trade/Sell Section Skitzzzz has a post in tere about doing patterns I bet she could help you with your needs.

I'd love to have a go at designing something, but my laptop has just completely died and my new computer won't arrive till next week. Once I've downloaded the programme again, I can easily have a play around and see if I can come up with something. I can't promise anything spectacular, but I can give it a try if you want.

What's the birth date? And how long before that date would you need it?

Just one tiny suggestion: after the 4x5=20 you could put a question mark - after all, everything is relative, right? Especially in book-keeping

I love the little calculators! What a great chart!
