Giveaway day!

It's that time of year again - the Sew Mama Sew giveaway has come around again!  A warm welcome to all new visitors.  My name is Ruth and I share my quilty makes, design ideas and things I've learned here in this space.  The dogs make an appearance from time to time too!

Recently I've been making these and playing with fabric design doodles!
I hope you will stay and have a look around!


For last years giveaway I asked how many people listen to music, watch tv, sew to the hum of the sewing machine and the results were really interesting:
This year, I'm giving away a set of creative grids circular rulers.  Creative grids are my favourite brand and I would be lost without my 14" x 4" ruler.  It is my go to and I use it all the time for cutting strips and small patchwork pieces.

To enter this year's draw for the Creative Grids set, please answer the following question:
I'd love to know if you guys use specialty rulers, if yes what's your recommendation for us to buy and if no what's your favourite ruler you do use?

There is no need to follow me but I would appreciate it you do!  The giveaway closes on Sunday at 5 pm and the winner will be chosen by Mr. Random Number Generator.   As I live in Ireland it is open to International shipping.  Good Luck and thanks for entering!

  2. The only speciality ruler I've used is a wedge ruler for Dresden plates which are fun to make and quicker than they seem.

  3. I love creative grid rulers!! I own about 8 of them --various sizes of square from 2 1/2 by 2 1/2 to 12 1/2 by 12 1/2 and the 6 1/2 by 24 1/2 and 8 1/2 by 24 1/2!! I have been eyeing some specialty ones too including the ones you are giving away!! Wouldn't quilt without them!! sandybailey55@hotmail.com

  4. I've never used a specialty ruler. I have a 12.5" square, a 6.5" square, & a 6"x24". I would love to get a stripology ruler in the future.

    ReplyDelete
  5. My favourite is Creative Grids 8 1/2 x 24 1/2 ".

    ReplyDelete
  6. I have a Dresden plate ruler that I have used a couple of times, but other than that my rulers are all the standard 6" or 12" combinations, perhaps I need to be more adventurous with rulers :)

    ReplyDelete
  7. I have a number of specialty rulers . Having the right tool makes quilting so much easier! Thanks!!

    ReplyDelete
  8. I've never used a specialty ruler, but could certainly use a curved one to help with my wonky cutting!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I have a TON of specialty rulers - I'm guilty, I love gadgets :) My favorite is the Curves for Squares ruler (Creative Grids - also my favorite brand!). I've actually used it more than once which is more than I can say for my other specialty rulers!! My go to ruler that I use daily is my 7.5"x 24.5" ruler.

    ReplyDelete
  10. I love my straight ruler but I would love to try an apple core shaped one. I have recently been watching youtubes to learn how to properly use a triangle ruler I have. Curves are such a challenge for me- I would definitely use these.

    ReplyDelete
  11. I do like specialty rulers though I use my 8 1/2 x 24 inch one the most. I have the quarter square triangle ruler and I use that quite a bit. I am a new follower on Bloglovin and Instagram (@daydreamsofquilts).

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  57. The only specialty rulers I've used so far are the easy angle, companion angle, and tri-recs, all recommended by Bonnie Hunter and used in her mysteries. I am intrigued by many others, and bought the dresden ruler, but haven't tried it yet.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  87. So far my favorite rulers are my 24x24 and my 6x6, depending on the size of the project.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  90. I don't know the technical terms as I'm new to quilting but I just have a basic 5" square ruler and a 2" wide straight ruler that work for me! I'd love to win your rulers so I don't have to hunt round the house looking for circular objects to draw around anymore! x

    ReplyDelete
  91. I love my 12.5" square ruler since most bee blocks are meant to be 12.5 unfinished. I recently bought clear template rulers for teh La Passacaglia quilt though they haben't arrived yet so I can't say if I love them yet or not- but I hope they make life easier!!!

    ReplyDelete
  92. I have so many rulers, but I use my omnigrids most often. I love my 15 in square for finishing up quilt corners. I love the angles marked on them for cutting special pieces. I have a curvy one but haven't used it yet. I would love love love to win the circles as I do a lot with circles and these would be a boon to cutting.

    ReplyDelete
  95. As a paper piecer, I LOVE my Add-a-Quarter Ruler - it speeds things up considerably. I just ordered the Creative Grids Tumbler Ruler and look forward to giving it a try.
    Of course I follow you Ruth - BL + email. I wouldn't miss a post!

    ReplyDelete
  96. I own 2 specialty rulers. One is kite-shaped to make spiderweb scrap quilts (ruler by Marti Michell - I recommend) & the other is a circle cut ruler I use to draw lines for hand-quilting in a baptist fan pattern -- I've never actually used it for cutting!

    ReplyDelete
  97. I love Creative Grids rulers! I have been replacing my "other" rulers over time with CG rulers, but I don't have any circular ones. My favorite ruler is a tie between my 2.5 x 36, and my 2.5 x 6 (extremes?). I'd be lost without my 2.5 square, lately, because I've been working on Economy blocks (LOVE).

  98. I follow you via Instagram!

    ReplyDelete
  104. I just got my first specialty rulers for my birthday - they haven't even been used yet. I got a few as I am just getting into quilting & I am loving it. I don't have any curves yet though. I have a dresden, a Hex and more & a Side Kick ruler now.

    ReplyDelete
  105. I've been wanting to try some especially since I want to try my hand at hexies.

    ReplyDelete
  106. I am a beginner sewist so I for now have the basics but my sister was visiting with all her sewing gear and she had a Creative Grid ruler I have fallen for. It is the 6.5 x 12 ruler with all the 1/2 " marked...love it!

    ReplyDelete
  107. I have one or two but I doubt I ever use them - I use my 24x6 for the serious cutting into the stash stuff, a 12x6 for regular cutting and I have a 4,5 square one that I use to trim those HSTs for the 9-patch-12,5" blocks ... I think they are OLFA ..

    ReplyDelete
  108. I only have one set of specialty rulers (for making different sizes of a scrappy block pattern). I mostly just use my long ruler (forget the dimensions on that one!) or my square rulers (have a 4, 5, and 12.5 size).

    ReplyDelete
  109. I do use specialty rulers. My most favorite ruler is the Shape Cut Pro.

    ReplyDelete
  110. I'm new enough that I have only one basic ruler.

    t_ktl at yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  111. I mainly use my CG 6.5 inch by 12.5 inch ruler

    ReplyDelete
  112. I recently bought the X-Block ruler when I was a quilt show and am currently working on a quilt using it. I love that using this ruler there is no waste, because what you cut off is used in the border. My favorite ruler I use all the time in June Tailor's Shape Cut Plus ruler with the slots.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I love my 12.5" square ruler for squaring up my blocks and I own a set of drunkard's path rulers, but have not had a chance to use them yet.

    ReplyDelete
  114. I recently bought a Hex and More ruler which is my first specialty ruler. The rulers I use the most are my 6.5"x24" and 12.5"x12.5". I also have a thin gridded 2"x18" ruler that is flexible and great for pattern making, but definitely NOT for rotary cutting!

    ReplyDelete
  115. I generally use either my 6x30 or my 3x18 rulers. But if I'm cutting a lot of similar shapes from a strip, I'll go to a ruler that has the correct angles on the end, such as my Easy 6 and Easy 8 triangle rulers. I also have curved rulers that allow for drunkard's path type shapes, and the Tri-Recs combo, as well as a set of one patch templates for charm quilts such as tumbler, apple core, and others. But I mostly use the ones I listed first.

    ReplyDelete
  116. no specialty rulers (yet), just the standard 2.5 x 18 is my go too. Would love to get some circular ones and attempt some round piecing :)

    ReplyDelete
  117. Ruth, I also love the Creative Grids because they handle so well. I actually don't own many rulers, but I have a large metal ruler, 36" long, that I purchased in a super hardware store. It's honestly my favorite for quick cutting and stability.

    Julie @ Pink Doxies

    ReplyDelete
  118. I only have a couple of 6"wide rulers, which I adore, but I would more than happily use others if I had them!

    ReplyDelete
  119. A great question -- I loved reading everyone's answers as I'm very intrigued by specialty rulers. It seems like they should make cutting faster, but they just confuse me, especially those where the numbers or angles correspond to the finished block rather than what's being cut. But I love curved templates!

    ReplyDelete
  120. I definitely have a ruler problem. My favorites are the add-a-quarter and add-an-eigth for paper piecing.

    ReplyDelete
  121. Hi Ruth and thank you for a great give away! I use mostly my big ruler and the 6,5" square ruler but I'm mostly exite and happy for the Julies Hex N More ruler (Jaybird quilts) - it's is fantastic and fun! x Teje

  127. I don't have any specialty rulers and have just rely upon creating my own guide and drawing the line I want to cut on the fabric if it isn't a straight line ;) These rulers would make cutting circles such a dream!

    ReplyDelete
  143. Big fan of Blocloc rulers. I really like the HSTs. Makes trimming MUCH easier

    ReplyDelete
  144. I use my square grid rulers all the time to get perfectly sized quilt blocks.

    ReplyDelete
  145. I own a few Creative Grids specialty rulers (pineapple block and curvy log cabin) but I haven't had much time to use them!! I like my 60 degree triangle - probably not very special but it works!!

    ReplyDelete
  146. I love specialty rulers that you can use for multiple projects. Like the bloc lock, hex & more and add a quarter.

    ReplyDelete
  147. I love rulers! Creative Grids is my latest favorite.

    ReplyDelete
  148. I don't really have a favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  149. My favorite ruler is my 12 1/2 x 12 1/2. I would be lost without it. Thanks for the great giveaway.

    ReplyDelete
  150. I've just have a 24" x 6" clear ruler... I've never tried any specialty rulers! :)

    ReplyDelete
  151. I've been wanting to replace all my regular rulers with Creative Grids because I am loving the ones I do have and would like al the same rulers for consistency (sometimes I wonder if my cut pieces are off because apart from my CG ones, each of the others are different brands so the lines aren't always going to be the same). As for specialty rulers, I love the Bloc Locs for HSTs as well as the Hex and More ruler. Working with curves is something I want to do more so these ones would be a great help!

    ReplyDelete
  152. One of my favorite rulers is the O'Lipfa Lip edge ruler. With it's measurements being only 4" wide but with the longer 36" length it's ideal for cutting many strips and borders. Lovely Giveaway, thanks for the chance.

    ReplyDelete
  153. I have no speciality rulers, but these look really useful especially considering I can now sew curves - yay!

    ReplyDelete
  154. I am embarrassed to admit that I use any ruler that comes to hand and none of them are specialist rulers. Maybe when I get a bit more advanced I will invest in some! Thank you for such a useful Giveaway prize : )

    ReplyDelete

  157. I used to think you only needed 1 or 2 rulers, but my ruler collection seems to be have rapidly expanded in the past few years. Most of my rulers are standard ones e.g. 6 1/2 x 12 1/2, a few long ones for cutting out strips and binding. Also love the little square rulers (e.g. 2, 3 and 5 inch ones).

    I'm not really a fan of specialty rulers, but I did buy a Kaleidoscope ruler from Creative Grids which was very good. I didn't want to make a foundation-pieced version and didn't fancy the thought of cutting out all the templates separately; so the ruler made short work out of cutting out the templates.

  159. I mainly use my 8 1/2" x 24 1/2", square 6 1/2", square 12 1/2" rulers, and Easy Angle and Companion Angle rulers for triangles/geese units. I find those brilliant; no trimming of HST!!

  160. I have a drunkards path ruler to help make those curved pieces. Most of the rulers I have are for longarm quilting. You really need specialty rulers in that arena. Thanks for the very generous giveaway!

I love my 6.5" x 24" for general cutting, my 12" x 12" for squaring up and my add a quarter for paper piecing. Aside from that I have not yet had the opportunity to play!

  184. I do not use specialty rulers. I have a few plastic templates (e.g. Dresden wedge, hexies, drunkard's path) and a large equilateral triangle ruler, but no fancy shortcut rulers. My rulers are just standard. I use my 4.5 and 6.5 inch squares the most - after the long 24 x 6.5 inch one. The small squares are handy for cutting the parts of a block when working in a small space.
