I think this would have been a great tool if it would have been available when I first learned to PP, but after doing it without for so many years, was just cumbersome and and extra step not needed...so I would encourage anyone learning to PP, get one right away...it will make it easier!

I have been putting my fat quarters together in a nice bundle for my SS, but it would have been soooo much more fun if I'd have had any idea of fabric color choices...I tried to pick things I would enjoy, but people's tastes are so very different...I have been adding things that regardless of her likes, she will LOVE however! Lots of handmade things...just because I have no life and lots of time! LOL!

Thus far my SS has not posted since names were assigned...so I could probably show ya'all what I made her, but she may be lurking and reading, so best not spoil anything, just in case!

Good tip, Leota! I always write Secret Santa on the box...and little things like HO HO HO....the Post Office thinks it's fun.

Prayers for hubby, Leota!!!

This would certainly be a lot more fun, if all the participants would post on this thread.

I just ordered from Amazon.com, one of those 1/4" rulers and some Sax white newsprint, for paper piecing. I've been seeing way too many pretty patterns, to not even give it a try.

After reading the reviews, I ordered the 12" ruler, rather than the 6".

Now I'm off to my sewing machine, in an attempt to justify my endless buying of fabric.

I hope you LOVE PPing! the ruler to begin with is a great idea! Good luck in your sewing room...I'm off to mine as well! Hope there aren't 100 posts to read later on today.
