Five Shadows

I have a bit of a stock pile of various rulers, templates, and fun gadgets to use in my quilting. Recently, a blog caught my attention, Life takes a turn, with an interesting challenge going on. Nancy is challenging fellow quilters to dig out those rulers, templates, and gadgets we got suckered in to buying bought with enthusiasm, dust ‘um off and put them to use. Go check her out and join in the fun of using your purchased items! She is encouraging those participating into making at least a 12″ block. No biggy. Do-able.

Here’s just a few items I have and would like to use:  Scrap Master Ruler, Pineapple Ruler, Tri-recs tools, Boondoggle Ruler, Flip-flop template, Drunkard’s Path templates, Leaves Galore, and Easy Angle.

Really, what interests me right now are all the gadgets and things hanging on quilt shop notion walls.  Why all those rulers and templates and things and no one using them? So I’m on a personal mission to figure them out myself. I’m starting with Sweet Mint Pattern and Templates by Laundry Basket Quilts. Just got them and fabric this week, so will show the results in a later post.

If you hop over to Nancy’s blog – let me know what you think. I’ll be posting reviews as I get crack-a-lacking on my stuff here.
