I have a friend who was in some of my swaps this year and she lives in Australia. We decided instead of trying to mail currency for postage, I'd pay the postage and she would send me something 'Australian' in exchange. She sent me the Westalee adjustable ruler and I am in love!! They make different rulers for different tasks and the one I received is great for cutting strips. It has a little guide and little screws to adjust the strip width~
The black part is movable. I set it for 2.5 inch strips for my binding for 'Bears'. You don't have to tighten the screws much and you don't have to worry about the ruler shifting!! Whoohoo!! I don't know about you, but even with my pinky hanging over the edge and my hand 'crawling' up the ruler~ I always manage to shift it a bit when using my longer rulers. They were thinking about me when they made this ruler! LOL :-) And I really like that you don't have to use much pressure to hold the ruler in place~ hardly any. Now what else can I cut into strips?? :-)) LOLShe also sent these cute little ornaments that she made! :-)
And this is for Bonnie~~
I only needed a few more HST's for my blocks, but I needed a variety, so I cut the Triangulations grids in half. :-)) I'll get my next 12 blocks finished shortly. ;-) I want to finish them today because my Gran always said 'Sew on Sunday, rip on Monday'... I need for my sewing to stay put, so I'll finish them today! LOL ;-)Hope y'all are enjoying your weekend~
Happy Stitchin'!!

Okay! I see now where I glanced at the ruler and you know what else? I was thinking about getting the triangulation software. Fun to come across you using it...cleverly. ;)
what a neat ruler - sounds like a great deal you and your swapper from down under worked out :) and the ornaments are cute too.
Never heard of the sew on Sunday, rip on Monday until just now... Guess I got lucky b/c I finished sewing all of my MBH blocks up tonight. ;)
