Today’s is my stop on the Sullivan’s Edge Ruler Blog Hop.
So let’s talk about the ruler. Here’s what the manufacturer says:
My opinions?
Markings: Spot on perfect. Clear to read, line up, thick and thin where they need to be thick and thin.
Non skid backing: Holy guacamole, this thing does.not.move.at.all. I have not had a ruler this non-slippy ever. There is a downside to the non-skid backing…
Opaqueness: So to make it not skid, it’s opaque. It was somewhat weird at first but after about 20 minutes of use, I was whacking and hacking like I’d always been.
Sharpening: If you think about it compared to honing kitchen knives on a steel then it makes sense. I started using these rulers at the end of a huge project and my blade was really, really dull. After trimming a quilt post-quilting, it was actually sharper. Fewer uncut spots. Less-jaggy edges. I’ve since done a couple more projects since then and the blade improves with every cut. I’m excited to see how it works with a new blade!
All in all, I’d say it’s a solid ruler. Doesn’t move. Good markings. And it sharpens. Who could ask for anything more?
Wondering where to buy? Try your local quilt shop or at JoAnn Fabrics.

Pat also asked us to share a recipe. I must apologize… it’s healthy. But perhaps will be easier to justify dessert afterwards?
(Sean The Husband) calls my green beans ‘avant garde.’ Apparently they are slightly fancier compared to what he’s used to. I just think they are green beans, but they are indeed tasty!)
Buy.
Wash. Snap.
Put in pan. Sprinkle with Herbamare Original (some), salt (little) and pepper (lots). Drizzle with olive oil. Toss. Cook over medium high heat.
Cook until they look like this. Brown spots and all. Add more pepper. Pepper=good.
So, sorry, no ice cream/cookie/gompy-deliciousness here. But, perhaps, you can justify a delectable treat for dessert after some healthy deliciousness here!

Three questions, answered by me…
If I take a look inside your refrigerator what would I find?
The produce department of PCC. Fruits, veggies, cheese and yogurt for the kids, more veggies and some more fruit. Yum.
What is your favorite TV show of ALL TIME and why?
I Love Lucy. Hands down.
If Hollywood made a movie about your life, whom would you like to see play the lead role as you?
I want to say Lucy because I would love to be Lucy but even on my funniest day, I’m nowhere near her. Perhaps I should stick with Nancy Botwin (I answered this question somewhere in the past couple years… same answer). Ok, so she is a character on a show rather than a real person but I still feel like this (blank stare, holding a drink, etc) most days.
