Fussy Cut Ruler Give-Away

July 22, 2012

Happy Sunday everyone. I hope you are having a great weekend. Later this morning, I’m meeting up with friends for Brunch at a local restaurant, and Milo is coming too. The owner keeps inviting Milo to come in, so we’ll see how this goes. He’ll be getting a bath before we go. I’m curious, is it common for dogs to be allowed into restaurants where you live?

I have a new-to-me tool to share with you today. It’s called the FussyCut 3in1 Tool by Crafty Bev. I have two tools to give-away and a special purchase link for you to save!

fussy-cut-3-in-1

It’s primary use is for fussy cutting fabric precisely. It is L-shaped and has grooves in the L that the rotary cutter goes in to complete the cut. Here are a few photos that I took while fussy cutting a butterfly:

While called the 3in1 tool, it actually has six uses:

Corner Cutter lets you take your cut out of the middle
Center-Finding Ruler
Seam Allowance Guide
1/8″ Bonus Grid
Bonus Mini-Metric Ruler
Bonus Y Seam Guide

The FussyCut 3in1 ruler comes in two sizes: the original size and the Big Sister.

You can read more about the various features here and watch the great video here.

Free Tutorial

If you’ve always wanted to make a memory quilt, but didn’t know where to start, I highly recommend Vicki Welsh’s Keepsakes Quilt tutorial. It’s a free downloadable PDF file filled with useful information to get you started and on your way. Here’s one of the quilts that Vicki made (photo used with permission):

Taking milo to a restaurant made me think of when I first got my collie, abbey. I wasn’t used to such a tall dog. My first lunch with her in the house, I made a sandwich a, set it on the table and went for a drink in the fridge. When I sat down – no sandwich! Just one happy smiling dog 🙂

That ruler looks pretty cool

I don’t think dogs are allowed in restaurants in the US, food safety regs and all. Only service animals.

My daughter has boxers that are very excitable. When you are eating there, they will sit quietly for a bit because they think they will get a treat if they are good! They only have so much patience, though, and if it doesn’t happen, they come closer for a better look.

Thanks for the chance to win…these rulers looks wonderful!

When I first started sewing I did not know I needed to change my needle. I sewed for years on the same needle, and the machine started to act up. It was not sewing right and I did not know why. I was talking with a friend who did a lot of sewing and she asked if I put a new needle in….. I looked at her like she had 3 eyes and said ” new needle”. I think she laughted for days about that. Now I change my needle more then most, but I do love a new needle more then most also;)

Hey Michelle! Glad to hear Milo gets to go where you go – there are a few places in the USA that are more friendly than most…usually out west, like Seattle, & trendy places like that. Here, in South Texas, most dogs are outside dogs, so you probably wouldn’t want them in where you eat…but Tractor Supply & Camping World are pet-friendly, and usually have treats somewhere by the checkout counter. And of course, pet stores & feed stores always allow the pups in. Walmart, not so much.

I have one of these handy-dandy rulers, and I do love it. I use it ALL the time for centering my embroidery designs, top to bottom, left to right. It never fails me, and I’ve found Bev to be most helpful & sweet!

Please don’t add me into the contest, but I did want to share a funny I came across just this morning on a forum. Little boys and people who are getting old will appreciate it the most:

Ed came home drunk one night, slid into bed beside his sleeping wife, and fell into a deep slumber.

He awoke before the Pearly Gates, where St. Peter said, ‘You died in your sleep, Ed.’

Ed was stunned.. ‘I’m dead? No, I can’t be! I’ve got too much to live for. Send me back!’

St. Peter said, ‘I’m sorry, but there’s only one way you can go back, and that is as a chicken.’

Ed was devastated, but begged St. Peter to send him to a farm near his home.

The next thing he knew, he was covered with feathers, clucking and pecking the ground..

A rooster strolled past. ‘So, you’re the new hen, huh? How’s your first day here?’

‘Not bad,’ replied Ed the hen, ‘but I have this strange feeling inside. Like I’m gonna explode!’

‘You’re ovulating,’ explained the rooster. ‘Don’t tell me you’ve never laid an egg before?’

‘Never,’ said Ed.

‘Well, just relax and let it happen,’ says the rooster. ‘It’s no big deal.’

He did, and a few uncomfortable seconds later, out popped an egg! He was overcome with emotion as he experienced motherhood. He soon laid another egg — his joy was overwhelming..

As he was about to lay his third egg, he felt a smack on the back of his head, and heard…..

“Ed, wake up! You pooped in the bed!”

I think this is family friendly – This past week our grandson was here to visit – 20 months old – he was outside playing in his little pool and my daughter took his diaper off and he took off on a run – wellllllll his he ever fast or grandma is really, really slow – I had all I could do is catch him running down the driveway – he was just a giggling thinking it was really, really funny running and grandma trying to catch him but then my husband came out on the porch and stated that that was the funniest thing he has ever seen – me chasing and not being able to catch a little baby!!!!!

Have a great creative Sunday – maybe I should start training for the Toddler track team!!!

A doctor in Duluth wanted to get off work and go hunting, so he approached his assistant. ‘Ole, I am goin’ huntin’ tomorrow and don’t want to close the clinic.

I want you to take care of the clinic and take care of all my patients.’

‘Yes, sir!’ answers Ole.

The doctor goes hunting and returns the following day and asks: ‘So, Ole, how was your day?’

Ole told him that he took care of three patients. ‘The first one had a headache so I gave him TYLENOL.’

‘Bravo, Mate, and the second one?’ asks the doctor.

‘The second one had stomach burning and I gave him MAALOX, sir,’ says Ole.

Bravo, bravo! You’re good at this and what about the third one?’ asks the Doctor.

‘Sir, I was sitting here and suddenly the door opens and a woman enters. Like a flame, she undresses herself, taking off everything including her bra and her panties and lies down on the table and shouts: HELP ME – I haven’t seen a man in over two years!!

‘Tunderin’ Lard Yeezus, Ole, what did you do?’ asks the doctor.

‘I put drops in her eyes!’

I havent had much to laugh about for awhile, but my new grandson has me laughing all the time. We took my son and his family and my daughter out to eat. My grandson Anden is just started eating real food. He was having a blast eating, then my daughter gave him a wedge of lemon. He picked it up, rolled it around for awhile, and all of us adults sat there waiting to see what he would do. He stuck it in his mouth, stopped, his expression was hallarious he had it so screwed up, he was spitting, but what did he do? He gave it another try. We were all laughing. My daughter offered him a piece of roll and he looked at her and wouldnt take anything from her the rest of the night. He knew the fool that gave him that terrible food.

About a month ago we took our 17-m-o grandson to the Family Day my hubby’s employer puts on every year. Jack was fascinated by all the big inflatable structures, particularly the giant slide. Grampa asked if he wanted to go on it but he shrank back shaking his head. But he kept watching as kids climbed the ladder, disappeared at the top, then reappeared as they slid down. Grampa crouched at his side, talking to him.

Finally he pushed on Grampa’s backside, encouraging him to stand. Then Jack pushed Grampa forward. “Does Jack want to go?” Shook his head, but kept pushing Grampa. Obviously, he wanted Grampa to go!

Grampa went down, not once, not twice, but three times, each time asking if Jack wanted to come too. Finally after he had seen Grampa come back down safely, he decided to give it a go.

Up they went and down they went. Up and down. After several times, with Grampa encouraging from behind and me encouraging at the bottom, Jack came down on his own. After that there was no stopping him. We finally had to bribe him with a ball and food to get him away from the slide.

Thanks for the opportunity to win these great-looking rulers!

And here in BC, only service dogs are permitted in food establishments.

I had promised to make a Key Lime Pie for a get-together, but work ran over, and I didn’t have enough time. Instead, I ran out and bought a box mix of Key Lime Bars, along with a ready-made graham cracker crust, and figured I could finagle the “bar” mix into a reasonable key lime pie.
I craftily maneuvered the ready-made graham cracker pie crust from its aluminum foil pie plate into one of my own glass pie plates. Moving on to the mix!
The box mix contained two plastic bags of white-ish powder – one was the bar crust *pushed aside; don’t need it* and the other is the key lime filling. Reading through the instructions to see what I could do to alter it from a bar mix into more of a pie-ish mix, I noticed that in small print the box had directions for using the mix as a pie! AWESOME! I add the water and eggs, and mix it up. The instructions said that if using this mix for a pie, that a couple of drops of green food coloring might be needed to make it more “lime-colored.” The key lime filling was a disturbing shade of ecru (not lime at all!), so I grabbed the green food coloring and added a couple of drops…

…which did NOTHING. I added two more, and re-mixed. Still ecru. Frustrated, I give the food coloring bottle a “generous” squeeze. It’s green, alright. Not key lime green, but more of a bright neon green. Oh, SNAP. But it’ll have to do.

I don’t know what made me taste the mix, but it doesn’t taste of lime at ALL. *darn box mixes!* I grabbed the bottled key lime juice from the fridge, and the lime concentrate powder from the spice cabinet, and liberally apply a bit of each until the mix tastes like lime. It required lots of liberal applications to get it to a lime-y taste, but whatever. I throw that in the oven long enough for it to set up, and while it sounds like a disaster, it’s actually not as bad as it could have been.

I rush to get ready, grab my pie from the oven, adding a 3″ thick coating of store-bought whip cream on the key lime pie to cover its over-green neonness. *if there isn’t time to make the pie, where would I find the time to whip up fresh whipped cream?!?*

It wasn’t AWFUL, but it wasn’t good, either. I ended up confessing to all but the graham cracker scam, and a few folks even said that the pie was decent. *LIARS*

I can call them LIARS, because when I got home and was cleaning up the mess in the kitchen, I encountered the unused package of crust mix. I figured I wouldn’t have a use for it and was carrying it to the trash when I noticed that the lettering on the side of the bag read, “KEY LIME FILLING MIX.” *but then what went in the…? OH MY GOODNESS!*

I had this wonderful cat for 20 years. He was quite a cat and lived everywhere with me. Heres a story that represents how sneaky and smart my cat was.
While I was in college, my mom told me this happened. My mom kept opening the freezer and bits of dog biscuits would fall out. she could never figure out why. One night, her dog (a cocker spaniel) kept making snuffling sounds in the kitchen and wouldn’t stop. She finally went to the kitchen and saw her dog eating dog biscuits on the floor. She looked up and on top of the refrigerator, she caught my cat with his entire leg in the dog biscuit box trying to fish out a treat for himself. He was bribing the dog with biscuits to keep quiet so he could eat some himself. We now knew why he wasn’t losing weight. He lost weight quickly after that when the biscuits were locked up.

A piece of rope walks into a bar and orders a drink.
The bartender tells him they don’t serve drinks to ropes, and kicks him out.
Incensed, the rope ties himself in a knot and unravels both of his ends.
He then goes back in the bar and orders again.
“Hey”, the bartender asks, “aren’t you the same rope I just tossed out?”

The doctor replies, “Ma’am, you had twins! A boy and a girl. The babies are fine. Your brother came in and named them.”
The woman thinks to herself, “Oh no, not my brother — he’s an idiot!” Expecting the worst, she asks the doctor, “Well, what’s the girl’s name?”
“Denise,” the doctor says.

One day I went outside to gather the eggs. The chicken coop door was open so the chickens could free range for food. I noticed there was a squirrel inside the chicken coop and it noticed me. I stood beside the pear tree by the chicken coop and patiently waited for the squirrel to run out of the coop, which it didn’t take long. The next thing I knew that chicken ran right up ME ! It got to my chest and I screamed bloody murder and the fright that squirrel had on it’s face I will never forget. Our son at the time was 5 said ” Mom, did you see that ? You scared that squirrel with all that hollering you did ! ” LOL

My mom took my little sister into the changing room to try on a pair of pants. As soon mom started to take her pants off to try on the new pair, my baby sister said in her very loud child voice. “Mommy pull up your pants we are not in the bathroom.” Unfortunatly it was a very busy day at the mall and everyone heard. What mom heard was laughter throughout the changing room. She was very embarrased.

My son, at age 5, went fishing with dad and Pappy for the first time, and pulls in a small blue gill. Pappy is working to get the hook out, and dad asks, “What kind of fish is that?”
The 5-year-old says, “It’s a Sucker!”
“What?” says his dad. “That’s not a sucker!”
“Yes, it is,” says my 5-year-old, as Pappy is still trying to get the hook out… “Pappy just said, “That sucker swallowed the whole thing!”

Yes, that really did happen, and the 5-year-old is now 32 years old!!

Jim’s wife was in labor and the hospital staff kept telling him to “Just relax” to no avail. Jim was a nervous wreck. After what seemed like a week, to both Jim and the hospital staff, a nurse came out with the happy news, “it’s a girl”, she cried. “Thank goodness it’s a girl”, said Jim, “at least she won’t have to go through what I just went through!”

Oh my gosh, this tool is so incredible! I love it!
Well, I just went over to visit some friends about 4 hrs from me and stayed almost a week. We sewed every day. the days we did not sew, we shopped for fabric! lol I did not see this tool!!!~ Or, I’d of purchased it! They do so much for Project Linus, etc.
Anyway, Mrs. Elsie is 89 next month and she has a longarm and can out sew all of us! She is very tiny, and reminds me of my neighbor before I moved away. I was telling a friend that for her birthday one year, her nephew bought her this HUGE pair of panties and when she opened them she just laughed. The funny part is that on wash day, she’d sometimes hang them on her clothesline with hers… lol It was so funny. They were always buying her funny things like that. So, I’m on the lookout for a HUGE pair for Mrs. Elsie for her 89th.

Last Wednesday our of the blue, my just turned four year old grandniece stated she wanted to make a quilt. I was surprised that she made a beeline for my fabric drawers in the spare bedroom and knew exactly the drawer and which pink bundle she wanted to pull out. Then she sat down on the floor and went through each fq opening it up to “audition”. She then folded each rejected fq back perfectly and made sure they were in a straight pile to return to the drawer. She then cocked her head and said, “That’ll do! These fat quarters are mine. They are all pink and only pink.” When my mother (her great grandmother) asked her who will make this quilt, she pointed at her and said “you and me”. Now, where did she learn all of this! LOL

Back a decade ago or so, I was dating a guy who was a commercial pilot whose hobby was racing cars. We were going a bit fast down a highway in northern California in his Honda S2000 when he was pulled over by a CHP. When the officer came up to the car he sarcastically asked if my friend had a license to fly. When my friend pulled out his pilot’s license, the CHP just shook his head and walked away.

Joke: A woman goes to a drug store and tells the Pharmacist she needs some cyanide. The Pharmacist tells her it is illegal to sell her any cyanide, and besides what did she want to do with it. The woman says she wants to kill her hubby. The Pharmacist goes on and on how terrible that is and how they would both go to jail -her for the murder and the pharmacist for selling it to her. The woman does not reply but just reaches into her purse and pulls out a photo of her husband in bed with the Pharmacist’s wife. The Pharmacist states, Oh, my, this is entirely different.

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car.

His father said he’d make a deal with his son: ‘You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible, and get your hair cut. Then we’ll talk about the car.’

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided he’d settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, ‘Son, you’ve brought your grades up and I’ve observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I’m disappointed you haven’t had your hair cut.

The boy said, ‘You know, Dad, I’ve been thinking about that, and I’ve noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair ~ ~ ~ and there’s even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair.’

Dad said, “Did you also notice that they walked every where they went?”

Today, she confessed to her own bad math with the cutter…she not only had trouble with the math, she cut 3 times the number of strips she needed.

A sweet grandmother telephoned St. Joseph’s Hospital, and timidly asked, “Is it possible to speak to someone who can tell me how a patient is doing?”
The operator said, “I’ll be glad to help, Dear. What’s the name and room number of the patient?”
“The grandmother, in her weak, tremulous voice said, Norma Findlay, Room 302.”
The operator replied; “Let me put you on hold while I check with the nurse’s station for that room.”
After a minute, the operator returned to the phone and said, “I have good news. Her nurse just told me tests came back normal and her doctor has scheduled her to be discharged tomorrow.”
The grandmother said, “Thank you. That’s wonderful. I was so worried. God Bless you for the good news.”
The operator replied, “You’re more than welcome. Is Norma your daughter?”
The grandmother said, “No. I’m Norma Findlay in Room 302. No one tells me anything.”

When I was in the military there was this old guy I worked with. Whenever he would sneeze I would say”Give me another one” and he would sneeze again. Sometimes this would happen 10 times in a row. Well then one day while I was messing with him and he kept sneezing, after about the 15th time something flew past my head. At first I thought he threw something at me to make me be quiet, but when I looked to see what it was I almost peed my pants I started laughing so hard. He sneezed his dentures right out of his mouth and they went flying at least 50 feet before hitting the ground and slid another 50 feet. He had just gotten them the day before. When he went and picked them up, they were cracked in half. He said Wow, I had a Fifteen hundred dollar sneeze, and started laughing as much as we all were. After 25 years of me being gone, he found me on Facebook and told me, he still tells everyone about the Fifteen hundred dollar sneeze and laughs just as hard about it every time.

Useful tip: When I first started sewing & crafting, my grandmother gave me the best tip ever. “You can’t see a fly on a galloping horse”. So when my stitch or lines aren’t ‘perfect’ or if I make a tiny mistake, I remind myself of this quote. Hope it’s helpful to you too 🙂

My husband and I decided to fly first class when we went to my mom’s 80th birthday party. With the dinner they served on the plane was a chocolate candy on the tray. Well, my chocolate disappeared. So I just thought it was on the tray when the flight attendant took it away. After about 3 hours we arrived at our destination. Stood up to prepare to exit the plane and noticed something in my seat. It was the chocolate! I had been sitting on it the whole time. Of course it was squished and melted and yep….all over the back of my pants. I left the airport pulling my shirt down as far as it would go, hoping no one would see the huge brown spot! I was mortified! My husband couldn’t stop laughing. I must admit, it was pretty funny!

I have my own “batty” story to share. Many summers ago, when it was a LOT cooler than it’s been this month and our kids were a LOT younger, my husband & I had left the window open in our bedroom, so we could enjoy the cool night breezes while we slept. I was awoken during the night by a small noise, and (assuming one of the kids had come into our room) nudged my spouse awake. When we turned on the bedside lamp, we were VERY startled to see a bat flying around in our room! My spouse bravely grabbed a spare blanket, dived on the bat, and quickly tossed the blanket-wrapped bat out the window. Fortunately for the bat, the blanket evidently slipped off in mid-trajectory, because we found the empty blanket on the front lawn the next morning. We made VERY sure to keep the screen on the bedroom window closed & in good repair after that!

Barbara’s post reminds me of what my husband said to me after I had finished a quilt. “You probably have $25 in that thing” My reply yes and maybe a little bit more!!

I use to hang finished quilt tops all around my studio, kept me inspired, right! Hubby comes in one day, says, you need to finish some of these & sell them! Me thinks, oh no, sell my babies! Later, it comes to mind the saying, out of site, out of mind! So.. now most of them are tucked away someplace safe, & no more such comments from hubby, when he wanders through my studio, lol.. And we’re both happy!

I would love to win this ruler, looks like a good addition to my growing collection, thanks for doing this!

I am a Texan
JOKE OF THE DAY:

After having dug to a depth of 10 feet last year, New York scientists found traces of copper wire dating back 100 years and came to the conclusion, that their ancestors already had a telephone network more than 100 years ago.

Not to be outdone by the New Yorkers, in the weeks that followed, in California an archaeologist dug to a depth of 20 feet, and shortly after, headlines in the LA Times newspaper read: ‘California archaeologists have found traces of 200 year old copper wire and have concluded that their ancestors already had an advanced high-tech communications network a hundred years earlier than the New Yorkers.’

One week later, a Texas newspaper, reported the following: After digging as deep as 30 feet in his pasture near Bastrop, Bubba Mitchell, a self-taught archaeologist, reported that he found absolutely nothing. Bubba has therefore concluded that 300 years ago, Texas had already gone wireless.

My husband and thought this was funny. My little girl just started crying. When we went to figure out what was wrong, we realized she wasn’t paying attention when eating and bit her own thumb. Not hilarious, but apparently she’s not very awake.

To entertain our grandson, my husband came up with this….hubbie took our 16 month old grandson on his Gold Wing. He sat him on it with the motor running. From watching Grandpa he knew how to turn the key and how to rev the bike. (He has also gone on “rides” with Grandpa around the block.) He loved it!!
About a week later, the tiller was left in the flower garden and our Grandson tried to “rev” the handle and climb on the tiller!
And I won’t tell you that our Grandson is only 19 months old and Grandpa has taught him how to drive the lawnmower (He can operate it lawnmower himself, now.)!! Yes, this is a very true story!!!

Thank you for the chance to win a Fussy Cut Ruler!!

What a beautifull and handy tool to win. But…I realize, no story, no prize: I am born as a left-handed girl. In earlier days in school it was not allowed to write with your left hand, so I had to learn writing, drawing, knitting and crochet with my right hand. It was not so succesfull. When I had to crochet I was holding the hook in my right fist and could crochet very well and nice. When the teacher looked to me, I tried to do it like she wants. The product is still in a box in my cupboard. Some rules very nice, some very stiff.
Nowadays I like to knit, crochet etc. well. But…in my own way.

Hugs, Ann

I have 3 redheads and one brown haired child. People were constantly asking us where the children got their red hair since I am a brunette and their dad was a dirty blonde. So we got tired and starting making a joke that they got their red hair from the mail man. Until coming out of church one day, the preacher asked us “where did they get their red hair?” My oldest who was about 5 yrs old peeped up automatically, before we even had time to speak, and proudly proclaimed “the mailman!” And as my face started turning red and trying to think of something appropriate to say to our preacher. He then proudly announced, “My other brother isn’t a red head because mommy got tired of the mailman and decided to adopt him!” But then I guess the mailman moved with us because our baby brother is a red head too!”

Just arrived home from my 1st quilting bus tour to a quilt show and many, many quilt shops for 4 days. It was an awesome trip and we raised $2000. for our quilting charity. We decided on the trip we would do it again next year and perhaps we would make a quilting calendar with all of us posing with quilts in the nude. (well looking like it at least). Imagine 36, 60year old plus women posing nude.

When my son was a toddler he was very messy so we called him “piggy”. We went to a small farm animal zoo and when he saw the pigs he yelled “hi Danny”

When I was a little kid in school, my last name started with an “R” and I was almost always seated in the last seat in the second last row in class. I thought to myself at that time that when I got married, I would marry someone who had a last name that was earlier in the alphabet. Well, imagine how happy I was when I finally (at age 50, my first and only marriage) married a man whose last name started with “B”! It never really occured to me when I was that little kid, that if/when I got married, I’d no longer be in elementary school! “Guess that some of us are late achievers!
