On Tuesday, I wrote that I needed a ruler to help me make HSTs from strips. After trying two different rulers that I had, I KNEW that I needed the Bonnie Hunter “Essential Triangle Tool”.
BUT I COULDN’T FIND IT…..ANYWHERE!!!
After searching through my ruler storage accordion folder…..
….I looked through every drawer in the studio, then tried to remember if I might have carried it to a retreat in one of my unfinished projects.
First, I checked the box containing fabrics and blocks using hand-dyed fabric offcuts from my friend, Anita….
OOOO…those look fun. Maybe I need to add it back to my To-Do list.
Next, I checked out the unfinished top using marbled fabrics that I dyed MANY years ago….
Yep….something else to add to my “GET IT FINISHED” list, but NO RULER!!
At this point, I am totally exasperated and decide to get onto Amazon and order it again.
And LOOK…..
Even Amazon knows that I purchased it before!!
So, I ordered it again. After all, it will be here tomorrow.
As I was putting up the ruler container, I decided to give it one more look.
AND…..
YOU GUESSED IT…… I found it at the bottom of one of the sleeves!!
So….CANCEL the Amazon order and make a mental note of where it is for next time!!
Bottom Line…..I am now ready to start making HST’s for my first scrap quilt!!

It has been fun to hear everybody else’s story today. One woman said she now has five 6-inch rulers!! I am getting close to having some studio time….Can’t wait to start creating again.
