My very favorite ruler is the one I use ALL of the time. It is my olfa 8.5x24 ruler. I love that it shows me markings down to the 8th and it has the 30, 45, and 60 degree lines for me to work with as well. I have been eying your rulers for some time and this would be a great giveaway to win. Thanks so much for the chance.

CraftyKat said...

I love my 6.5 inch square ruler and often find myself re-sizing blcok patterns to this size

Jan Baker said...

I have only used my straight ruler as haven't been quilting that long. Really like your hex ruler and I don't think I will win it so putting it on my birthday list.

Anne said...

I'm not sure if I have a favorite but my go-to is my omnigrid 3x18 with 1/8" grid. It's great for squaring up strips and blocks.

quiltingtaylormade said...

My favorite ruler is the Omnigrid 6 x 12. It fits inside my cutting mat/ironing pad "book" (also Omnigrid) and is convenient for classes and retreats. I have many others and think a quilter can never have too many rulers !! Thanks for the giveaway chance Julie !!

Dawn said...

I love the Hex and more ruler....really!I made tiny dancer and it's one of my favorite quilts from the last few years.

Rosa said...

Awesome vive away.2x12 is my best fav ruler though i do Norte have many rulers.Thanks for the fun!

Unknown said...

Three way tie- 1) 6x24 because it's used in every quilt 2)hexnmore because it makes them so easy (love my Science Fair!) 3) quick curve ruler because it makes curves not so intimidating.

Enerostar83 said...

I find that my 1 by 6 ruler is so handy for checking small measurements and cutting charm squares.

Karen said...

My favorite rulers are my standard 5 x 24 for cutting yardage and my Quilt in a Day HST squaring ruler for trimming my HSTs to the perfect size. I need to make only 2 cuts on my squares since I trim before I press the square open.

debi said...

I'm loving the sidekick ruler right now! Making Park Bench as a BOM with my local quilt shop.

Crafty Crow said...

I love the Hex N More ruler, I just don't own one. In fact, I've been meaning to get one so I can make a gravity quilt.

Thank you for this great giveaway opportunity!

I've got my fingers crossed.

Allison Sews said...

I do love my hex n more ruler

Unknown said...

I'm a newbie at quilting and haven't used too many different rulers but I just bought a 10 degree wedge that I'm very excited about and anxious to use!

Quilting gram211 said...

I have been wanting to get the Hex'n'more ruler. My favorite ruler is a simple 12 1/2 x 15 1/2" creative Grids. I think I use it pretty much every time I sew. It is my "go to" tool.

Judy@Quilt Paradigm said...

My 7.5" x 24.5" straight ruler is the one ruler I cannot due without! But I love specialty rulers!! :) Thank you for the very generous giveaway!

Diane Beavers said...

Julie, congrats on your marriage:)
I own two quilting rulers and my favorite is Deb Tucker's Wing Clipper. I was gifted w/this ruler so I' still practicing but it makes PERFECT flying geese .
I've yet to go wrong w/it.
Hex and more and Super Sidekick look intimidating to me but I'm ready to step out and try 'em both.

Unknown said...

Thank you for this great giveaway. Right now my favorite ruler is Lisa Bongean's Creative Grids Itty Bitty Eights ruler. It is so precise to use, especially for mini quilts. I have the 6-inch square.

jen dot barnard at btinternet dot com

Dyann said...

QuiltingKate said...

Wow, Julie, I would love to win that ruler, have been drooling over the designs you make with it... thank you for the opportunity to win it, and the books.

My favourite ruler is the 12 1/2 square, I use it all the time to straighten up my piecing - and I've even used it to make a no-paper piecing pineapple quilt.

Diane P said...

I don't have a favorite I like all kinds

Anonymous said...

I love the HexNMore ruler ... but my all time favorite rulers are the ones made by Creative Grids. First because they are sturdy, good quality acrylic with sharp, accurate markings. Second because CG has videos you can access easily to remind you how to use the ruler.

:) Linda

Barbara on the Eastern Shore said...

I have the sidekick ruler and your rock candy pattern. Loved making the topper.

babiesdoc said...

I like creative grids rulers. the ones I use most are the quick trim ruler and a little 6 inch ruler with some of the features of the quick trim sold at my LQS (owned by the creator of the quick trim.

I love the gravity quilt

Caitlin said...

New to quilting but I've been fawning over your Gravity and Unwind patterns for some time now! As a newbie my most used rulers are just my 6" and my quilters square.

I don't have a favorite ruler, mostly just a Olfa 12 in, but would love to try yours. Thank you for your giveaway.

Unknown said...

I have only 2 rulers, so I guess they have to be my favorites: a 12 1/2 x 12 1/2 square and a 6 1/2 x 23 in. Can't wait to play with my new rulers when I win ;)

Kim said...

My favorite ruler is the 6x24 omnigrid ruler. I use it a lot.

:) twocheekymonkeys at live dot com

Boyledover said...

I use Onmigrid rulers, because that's what I first bought, and I've stuck with it. My most used sizes are 6x24" and 12 1/2" square, but my favorite is an equilateral triangle. I am DYING to try one of you rulers, and I swoon each time you have a Gravity post. I'm in a "make it just like I see it" phase still with sewing quilts. Thanks for the chance to win.

Dena@LivingWaterQuilter.com said...

I love Creative Grid rulers. I have some of their specialty rulers like the Lone Star and side setting triangles. I also like the "regular" cutting rulers, squares and rectangles for cutting and trimming.

LaurenL said...

How serendipitous! I was just browsing for the gravity kit online...

Crystal and John said...

My Omni 4" x 24" has to be my most used and favorite ruler! It's so very versatile and I use it on just about every project.

As I seem to make alot of hexagon quilts lately Ive been using my trusty triangle ruler

Anonymous said...

I'd love to win! My go to ruler is usually my 2 1/2" x 18" because it has all the angles shown and it's the perfect size for my work which is usually small pieces. I just bought your ruler and table topper pattern at a quilt show last week and can't wait to play with them this weekend!

Summer said...

My favorite ruler is a creative grids 12.5 inch square. I love the textured circles that prevent slippage. I'm starting the gravity quilt block of the month on wed at my local quilt shop! I can't wait!

Rachel@quiltineering.com

The ruler that comes to mind is my 6x24" ruler used to square up my fabric--but I do have some specialty rulers and they serve special purposes--I have purchased your "Parkbench" pattern, and am looking forward to trying it!

StanleyBeagle said...

I don't have a favourite ruler, but I'm eyeing up the Super Sidekick!

Kathy said...

What an awesome giveaway!!!thanks for the chance to win it. I love your gravity pattern. My favorite ruler is any with a skinny line printed on it for the quarter inch measurement. I want to see exactly where that quarter inch is and fat lines are annoying.

colleen said...

Easy Angle is my favorite special ruler for regular rulers I use Omigrid
colleen1990atyahoodotcom

koberg said...

One of my favorite rulers has been the twister rulers - I have all sizes - I bought your sidekick ruler last year and just love it. The tabletopper goes together so easy and is fun to do. Would love to win your bundle.

I love my standard 8.5x24 but I'll be needing a hexagon ruler for my next big project! Thanks for a sweet giveaway.

Unknown said...

My favorite ruler that has ever been made is Bias Square Up Ruler. I fell in love the first use. I had trouble with keeping my eyes in the correct lines. This ruler was so easy to read. I have used it so much that I wore the lines off and have purchased two more!!!

Sue H said...

I love my Bloc-Loc ruler for squaring up Flying geese blocks.

dibracey said...

Oh wow, what a fantastic giveaway. I absolutely love the mini Hex N More ruler which we have had such fun with in our Mini Quilt Club here in Australia through Fabric Garden. Team Di are having a ball with your Mini Jaybird patterns. This Mini Hen N More ruler is so useful for so many different pieces. Would love your Sidekick Ruler (and really, really love it if you brought out a mini too) The Gravity Book, yummo, ohhhh yes please. Love your patterns, love your rulers, and would really love to win this super generous Giveaway.

Béa said...

I have the Quick curve ruler to try...

Janet Sabol said...

I love the Hex-N-More ruler and small sidekick and have used them for many different projects. The 12 1/2 square ruler, 6" x 24" Creative Grids ruler ad the large 60 degree rulers are also favorites. The half square Bloc-N-Lock is great for sizing up HST.Thanks for the giveaway.

Patricia said...

I have many rulers, but the one I use most is the 6 1/2 x 24 1/2 from Creative grids. Last year I used your Hev N More ruler and love it.
Thanks for the giveaway!

Kay said...

Thank you for a great giveaway. I love using my dresden plate ruler as it makes cutting them so quick and simple. x

Helen in the UK said...

I only use a small selection of quilting rulers. After the standard ones, I love the Easy Angle and the Companion Angle. I have your HexNMore and the standard SideKick and they make the 60 degree shapes so much easier to cut. I would love a change to win the Super-sized version of the SideKick and the Gravity book - it's a stunning pattern :)

GranChris said...

An Olfa no slip is a good ruler with me.

Debbie said...

I use my regular 6 x 24 ruler most of the time. Love love love your gravity pattern. Thanks for the chance to win. (debbie at wowilikethat dot com)

curious said...

I do love your unique quilts. Thanks for the giveaway. Sincerely, Paula K..

pennydog said...

I really like curved rulers like the Quick Curve as I don't like cutting fabric with scissors or having to mark it out for cutting.

Carla S said...

I like working with two different rulers the most. I like the larger rectangle rulers and the larger square rulers. I'm new to quilting , so I don't have much experience working with different rulers.

Em said...

I haven't ventured into the land of specialty rulers yet, so my most used ruler is probably my 15" square or my 60 degree triangle ruler. (Lame, I know!) Thanks for the chance to win!!

Allison C said...

Forgot to mention my fav ruier...I like my 4x14" ruler the best because it's very practical, but my other rulers have their place too.

Cherie22 said...

Actually I love my sidekick, once you know how to use it, the world your oyster.

Susan L. said...

I am so hooked my Hex N More & Sidekick rulers! I love all the different shapes & designs I can make with them. susan430@cox.net

kt said...

I just have the basic rulers at this point-I still feel like a beginning quilter and am slowly buying more tools. Love your gravity quilt--thanks for the chance to win!

Unknown said...

My favorite rulers are the bloc-loc rulers because they make trimming hst so much easier and the triangle ruler I bought with the Tessalation quilt (Alison & Nydia's), because I adore triangles. :) Victoria (dot) paddock (at) gmail (dot) com

snpquilt said...

What a great giveaway! I love the Sidekick and would love to own the Super Sidekick so I can make a Stereo Quilt as my next project. Fingers crossed....

Bees Knees Granny said...

Quilter's Quarter Marker, with holes drilled in the intersection of various quarter inch seamlines: 45, 60, 90, 120 and 135 degrees might not qualify as an actual ruler, tho' don't know what I'd do without it. So I choose Quilter's Ruler Jr, which never ever slips. It is my "go to". Thanks for your generous giveaway. Cwoosley12@yahoo.com

Unknown said...

My most used ruler is a 6 inch square with nice clear lines for markings. This is my favourite at the moment, but I don't have many!

Miranda said...

My little straight ruler for smaller pieces

Lori H said...

Awesome! I'VE had my eye on this quilt pattern!!
kanshop2@yahoo.com

Janie said...

Mine would be my 60 degree diamond. Thank you for the giveaway!

audrey said...

For a couple of years, I just had a 6 x 24", so it was really luxurious to include a smaller ruler into my work. I recently received a Hex N More ruler, and I'm excited to stitch up a Northern Lights quilt with it! :)

elizabethdee said...

I love my 8.5 x 24" creative grids ruler -- the black and white lines make it extremely easy to use and the nonskid surface makes it easy to cut with. I also love your sidekick ruler because it is tremendously versatile and it is more fun to cut shapes than all rectangles!

Unknown said...

Wow, this would be the best Mother's Day ever.

mennikelly said...

I haven't used specialty rulers much, so my favorite ruler is the creative grids 12.5" square.

Renea said...

I really like my June Taylor ruler and of course my 12 inch square ruler. Thanks for the great giveaway.

Emily C said...

Good morning. I do not currently own any rulers other then the standard 24"sq and the 6"sq.

I do not have a favorite ruler, I generally use the standard square or rectangle ones.
I have always wanted to try your Sidekick ruler because I have watched the tutorial SO MANY times!
Thank you for the chance to win.

Kim A said...

What an amazing give away! My favorite rulers are Kaye England's Cut for the Cure rulers. They are easy to use and clearly marked. My favorite are the half square and quarter square triangle rulers.

Maryjo said...

What an exciting giveaway! My Creative Grids 6 1/2" ruler is always by my side:),Love, love, love your designs! You are truly amazing!

Taryn V. said...

I like the June Tailor slotted rulers. It really helps me cut strips quickly.

Heather said...

My 8x24 inch ruler is well used.

Sylvia said...

I like the creative grids rulers. They are grippy without being impossible to adjust finely on your fabric. I just got a time 3x7" one that I'm really digging.

Unknown said...

I have wanted to get the Jaybird rulers for quite some time but this has not been in my budget yet. I would love to have them to make some of the creative patterns. My favorite ruler right now is the half-square triangle that squares up the hst prior to pressing it open. Every single one comes out perfect and the ruler saves so much time. Thanks for the opportunity to win.

Elaine M.

Mary said...

I used the Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers a lot to make it easier to make half and quarter square triangles. I also have had a lot of fun using your Lazy Angle ruler. My daughter is 25 and has finally decided to do some sewing. Yea! She is working on her first quilt using that ruler and the Hugs and Kisses pattern. I can't wait to see how it turns out.
If I win we'll be sharing the prize.

Brendon said...

I don't really have a favorite ruler. It depends on what I am doing. I only have square ones and 1 that is 30 ish by 6. I use that one quite a bit when making quilts and dresses.

claire said...

I guess one of my favorite rulers is the Shape Cut - so much easier to cut a bunch of strips at once! Great giveaway! Thx

Anonymous said...

I really haven't used more than basic rulers. I have been quilting 2 years.

♥Duff said...

I love the Quickline Nancy Crow ruler. Not the new one--the old one with holes for using to draw circles on fabric. One ruler=over 12 circles! Can't believe they stopped making it.

ozone3 said...

My favorite ruler is the Creative Grids 6 1/2 X 2 1/2 ruler. So nice to cut smaller size pieces with them (I own 6 of them).

Thanks for the chance to win!!

Unknown said...

I love the hexnmore because it makes cutting my hexie papers and then fabrics super easy!

Reader Owl said...

I'd love to work with your rulers. My most used now are my long 24 inch ruler and my 4 1/2 in square Omnigrid.

Zanymouse said...

Oh my gosh, I just love your Hex N More ruler! It's so much fun to use. For my day to day quilting ruler, I could not survive without my Creative Grids 6 1/2 x 24 1/2 ruler. It's very easy to read, and the grippy things on the back keep it from sliding.

Charlene S said...

Your prize is a fantastic one. I have wanted to learn to use your rulers but have been scared. Right now my favorite ruler is my 5 1/2" square up ruler.

Patty said...

I love the Creative Grid brand ruler the best and after that, I don't really have a favorite, but maybe I will if I win your rulers! Fingers crossed!!!

Joyce Carter said...

Thank you so much for your giveaway.I own 3 rulers and use them all the time according to what I am working on. I love the 6.5 x 6.5 for all my scraps, the 12.5 for squaring up bigger pieces, and the 6 x 24 for yardage.

JuliAnn Craver said...

I love the creative grids rulers but have just started using your Sidekick ruler. My recent purchases have been your Hex N More ruler and Park Bench Book. Looking forward to creating that quilt soon. I hope I win. Here is my e-mail just in case it doesn't show.

I love my 6.5" suare ruler - very versatile. amycav at hotmail dot com

Sally said...

Ooh, I love 60 degree triangle rulers. I must have the first one that was ever made (Kaye Wood'a), a small one by Marti Michell, and a large one by Marci Baker, all to make hexie table mats, stars, 60 degree table runners, and more.

Helen said...

I use all my longer rulers for cutting and squaring up fabric. Really don't have a favorite one. Would love to win!

hl3smith@yahoo.com

Jerri said...

My favorite ruler to use is the regular rectangle 6x12. Mostly because I often buy precuts and that is the ruler I've got.

snippy scissors said...

my absolute favorite is an older 24.5" x 3.5" creative grids ruler. it does not have the HUGE black circles marked on it the way the new ones do (i hope the person who thought large graphics that obscure the grid (duh, seeing the grid is the whole point) was fired). unfortunately, the TSA broke it for me, so now it is in two shorter pieces and i still use it more than any other ruler!! i love it because the markings for each 1/8th" are slightly different, you can tell what you are measuring from almost any direction, it's wide enough to use as a right angle, and it never slips.

Jennifer said...

I love my omnigrid 12.5" x 12.5" square ruler because you can square up a variety of block sizes. Thanks for the chance to win an awesome prize pack!

SillyME said...

I just got done making a Day Break quilt using the small side kick ruler and the hex n more ruler! They are my favorite rulers out of all of the one that I have

Unknown said...

I'm still relatively new to quilting and haven't had much chance to experiment beyond my bog standard 6x24 and 6.5 square rulers but I have recently discovered your patterns and you've opened my eyes to a totally new way of creating patchwork! I am desperate to try out your rulers on my stash :) Thanks for the opportunity to win them!

I don't have a favorite ruler. The smalls work best for some task, big ones for others :) thanks for the chance!!

Frankie said...

My most used ruler is my 6x24 straight ruler. That one never leaves my cutting table. Thanks for a chance to win your Gravity pattern -- it's on my must make list! Beautiful!

Mindy Sebastian said...

I am new to sewing in general, and looking forward to getting into quilting (that I just know I'll love). And I'm in need of some rulers to help get me started!

Katy M said...

Thanks for the generous giveaway - I'd love to attempt your quilt pattern! I love my 2" x 18" straight ruler - simple but versatile! x

SAHM said...

I just started quilting so I don't have any rulers

I have a straight ruler and a couple of square rulers. I have never ventured into the land of more complex quilt patterns but maybe someday with a little more experience under my belt. Thank you for the great giveaway.

What a wonderful giveaway. A friend of mine from New Zealand and I are taking your class at Stitching Post in Sisters Oregon in October. Can hardly wait.

JLG said...

I love quilting and I think my favorite ruler is my 12.5 inch square one! I know it is simple but I use it for EVERYTHING! Thanks for the chance!

Unknown said...

Oh man! I have been crushing on this pattern! I use straightline rulers but hope to get into the more specialized ones!

I don't own any speciality rules and have never tried one, but your side kick ruler is on my wishlist!

ria van duuren said...

I mostly use a 6x12" ruler. Have been looking for your hexruler for some time . Would love to try .

Snow said...

I like my Tucker Trimmer for squaring up HSTs.

ShellyKay said...

I guess my favorite ruler would be the 6X24 rectangular ruler as I use that one most often. I LOVE the Gravity Quilt and would so much like a jump on making one for my daughter. She is definitely one whom this pattern is made for! Thanks for the chance to win!

Leo said...

The one I use most and could not do with is my 24x6 inch ruler followed by it's little brother 12x6 I tend to be a little vary of speciality rulers because I need to remember how to use them ... which I seem not to do too well ...

Unknown said...

I've only used square rulers so far (omnigrid), but the 2.5" is perfect for making tiny squares for tiny pouches!

Unknown said...

Wonderful giveaway! I'm not very adventurous as yet but need to step out of my comfort zone eventually and try something with a specialty ruler. If I win one I definitely will.

I use my Omnigrid rulers a lot. Thanks for the chance to win.

AngieSue said...

I only use one specialty ruler -- a kite shape for spiderweb scrap quilts. I'd love to try more - I think they would eliminate a lot of extra work.

Little Ella Lu said...

I've never used a quilting ruler but I'd love to try hexies, they look so cute.

liniecat said...

I normally EPP but this is the year that I'm going to try and master cutting with rulers. Its amazing to see how many ways there are to get the best out of quilting rulers and yours look to be the very best!

Unknown said...

Right now I only use straight rulers, but I've been wanting to try some specialty rulers. Thanks for the giveaway!

Juli said...

I'm never far from my 6.5"x24" ruler for squaring fabric up and usually have a 12.5" square around for other things. I haven't yet tried any of your rulers, but have been eyeing the Gravity quilt. Thanks for the opportunity!

Melissa Graham said...

Right now my go to ruler is my 3" x 18" Fiskars. I use it for everything.

I only have 2 rulers, and my favorite is my little 4.5 inch square. It's so useful! sarah@forrussia.org

Misty Prenger said...

I'm still pretty new at quilting and only have a couple long rectangular rulers but they do the job OK so far. Love this quilt and a hoping to make it for my bed once life calms down a bit! Thanks for the opportunity at such a great giveaway!

Thanks for the chance to win. My most reached-for ruler is my 6.5" x 24" ruler. I tried to replace it and bought a 6x24 by mistake. Eek. I didn't realize how much I used that extra half inch. I use my Hex N More quite a bit!

Mel J. said...

awesome prizes! I am new to quilting and have only every used the standard 2.5 x 18 and 12.5 square. I have been following your blog for a while now and have been eyeballing your sidekick and wanted to give that a whirl. Would be awesome to win one!

Cindy said...

Where would we be without the multitude of rulers that are now available to us. It's almost mind boggling to see what's out there. Recently I took advantage of a deal on the new 'Stripology' ruler. I have to say it's the best investment I've made as it cuts both time and fabric waste way down. Other rulers are also great to have and would love to win your most generous prize package.

giddy99 said...

I love the Creative Grids rulers, because they don't slide or shift like other rulers. I'm slowly replacing all of my existing rulers. Otherwise, I have put some kind of tape or non-skid, which interferes with the lines sometimes.

Gill said...

I've never used a speciality ruler - I'd love to try one of yours!

Cheri the Quilting Nanny said...

I love them all! I am from the past when we used straight pins, ruler, pencil and scissors to cut our pieces! ANY template is a god-send!

I would love to win! I probably use my 6"x24" the most but I also get a lot of use out of my 4.5" square ruler - great with a rotating cutting mat for trimming up blocks like HSTs

Unknown said...

It's called Big Mama and it's about 6 1/2 by 11, I've had it for years & it's great for travel. Thanks! jbscraps@yahoo.com

Wonderful giveaway - thank you. I've only ever used a triangle ruler (which is wonderful) and a straight one - I'd love to try a new one.
