I loved my old rulers like those..but beware, you can shave them down in no time...really...never start at the end of those rulers when doing a cut, move in an inch and go back and then forward...or you will shave the corners off really quick!

Thanks for the advice on the rulers. I have used a different brand for some time and have not had that problem with them.

Probably won't make the next meeting or two. We have a son coming home from Afghanistan and another and his family moving to the Austin area from Sofia, Bulgaria in July. It will be our first meeting with our granddaughter, who is now just over a year old so we will be pretty busy.

Look at the fabric I got.

Great haul, but that house diagram fabric really gave me my laugh of the day. How perfect!
