Did you see this? Japanese seamstresses put “down” their pins and needles with dignity and in appreciation for their work into a block of Tofu! No really!
Catch the whole story here. Apparently this rite has been going on for 400 years; pretty cool, don’t you think, in this throw-away society?? Be sure to read the story and let me know what you think!

How about Batting In A Can???
Watch out, however, it warns, “Caution: The Surgeon Captain has indicated that ingesting more than 12oz of this product may cause obesity in some individuals.”
Oh GAD! Just what you need, right???
How about THIS ruler??? The description touts: “Just try not to think of the possibilities Every Angle Ruler even comes with its own convenient 32" x 48" carrying case. You can even add your own zipper at no additional cost if you would like it to close. Un-attached handles included.”
It comes with a 480 page book, too!
Okay, that’s it for my titillating descriptions! You’ll have to visit QuiltersWarehouse to find out what else you need!

This is one of those things I “bookmarked from back in the day before I used Pinterest or blogged . Do you remember it???
QuiltersWarehouse.com ran this waaay back on April 1st, 2008, but it is worth pulling out again for a laugh, don’t you think??
Here is an exert, but go HERE to read it all:

Here is my favorite ruler. I love it because I can fold my fabric [selvage to selvage] and it is long enough to cut cross grain strips in a swipe.
My favorite use for it, however, is to fold my fabric stash. I start by folding my fabric piece into thirds with the selvages running horizontally. Then I lay the ruler on one end of the strip and flip the ruler over and over until the whole piece of fabric is wrapped around the ruler. Next, I tuck in the end, so it is neat and tidy, pull out the ruler, and stack it on my shelf. Obviously, you could use any ruler you wanted, but this one fits my shelves comfortably depth-wise and it is wide enough so my stacks are stable and don’t fall over.
I can’t wait to see what your favs are!
