    This is my ruler storage wall. Reaching up there to get the right one is sometimes difficult. I get these from a woodworker here in Indiana. I can get his name if anyone wants it.[ATTACH=CONFIG]614618[/ATTACH] It is refreshing to know that I am not the only one with a ruler fettish. I even have some duplicates.

    [ATTACH=CONFIG]614662[/ATTACH]This is the solution I came up with and hubby helped put up the board with cute door knobs. Hangs just below my sewing room window for easy access.

    Thanks Rhonda. That was a nice thing to do. And it helped me a lot, since when I twist my head to look at things sideways, I get dizzy. (Something with my eyes ). You're a sweetheart.

    Everyone has such clever ruler storage … I am going to have to remember them for when I get to reorganize my room!

    You just inspired me to do something with my rulers. Now mind you my rulers have been all over my cutting table for 20+ years. Yes I have read and seen some of the nifty ways people have organized their ruler and it was not until just now that I decided to move as many of them as possible to their own 'space'. I had to find a place in the already limited space I have. To my amazement I discovered a place I had not considered before. So for now, a couple finishing nail in the side wall of the cutting table cabinet. There are many more, some without a nail hole available so a small office basket may go on the side of the cabinet and a bit of rearranging might be in order. This will take a bit of thought. I had to find a place where a cabinet door would not swing open into the rulers. I have no wall space in here unless I move picture of my beloved grandchildren so grandkids win out!
