Today's my day on the grand book Tour!
Welcome and thank you for visiting if you are new to our blog - if you've been a faithful follower - thank you for coming back to see what crazy adventures I'm into right now!
Today was my day to play around with this quirky looking ruler:
I remember when this ruler first came out I thought to myself - how odd! What in the world is that for! Me - not being a big gadget girl - passed it on by and thought, well we'll see what comes of those rulers in "other" designers future projects.
Well, my girlfriend, Miss Kathy Brown has written a book using this nifty ruler and I got to give it a test run. Yesterday, I played around with this:
And was able to cut these with such ease you wouldn't believe it!
Talk about a cool ruler that's easy to use and what a great book!
As for my favorite quilt project from the book, I think it's this one:
It's called "The Birds.
I like the cover quilt too!
The quilt on the cover is called "Fat Man's Squeeze"
And if you would like to watch a YouTube video from a lecture she gave on the book you can go and view that here!
If you would like to learn more about Kathy and her new book you can view her website here:
and her blog here:

Miss Kathy will be drawing the names herself and announcing the winners, so jump in on the fun!
