Hello

My name is Bill and my wife, Leonie (she is the expert here)
We live in Mount Evelyn, Victoria, Australia
My wife has been quilting for over 30 years and I have just begun (12 months).
My wife appeared on the New Inventors Show here and won the "Peoples Choice Grand Final" for her invention of the Westalee Design Adjustable Ruler in 2008 http://www.abc.net.au/tv/newinventors/txt/s2287744.htm

Hi Bill. I'm from two minutes down the road and around the corner and love my Westalee ruler especially for cutting sashing/borders. Purchased it after attending a demo with Leonie.

Look forward to seeing your work - everyone will tell you that WE LOVE PICS.
