    I'm counting the markers on the rulers... it looks like it's about 12 inches on the inside (that's a 7-inch square up ruler on the top), and maybe 24" or so tall.

    I would totally poke myself on the triangles if I had this in my sewing room.

    I use a napkin Holder from Bed Bath and beyond.

    similar to this.. Its solid. Holds all my rulers and wont wobble.

    This one looks very nice but since I don't have any extra table space, this is what I did with my rulers on a kitchen utensil holder from IKEA. It's mounted on the side of a bookshelf.

    That's really nice. I'm using a cup hook screwed into the side of a bookcase and large paperclips that have been unbent to form a large hook. Works great except for the giant square rulers that don't have holes cut in them for hanging. :roll:

    AnnaK; What a great idea! I just hang mine from a binder clip hanging from a hook on the wall, same thing for my mats.
    I can't wait until IKEA opens in Denver later this year! I am SO there!

    Great ideas, my rulers are all over the place and never seem to find the one I want.

    I believe I like your idea better than the standing one I was going to have made. Thank you sooooo very much!!! If I can't find a utensil holder thingy here, (we don't have IKEA) then I'll get one in Ottawa at the IKEA there, when I go to my son's wedding in September. You guys are truly awesome, you always help us when we ask, so thank you very very much.
