This has been a great week! I got to send off two copies of my book Wedge Quilt Workshop to lucky winners. On Thursday I'll be sharing my book, the quilts and the rulers at my home guild, the Portland Modern Quilt Guild. and now I've got more great rulers to give away along with book copies! I just want you all trying wedges so much I can't stop giving the book away. Well, I can, I guess, because I'm probably gonna run out of books on Thursday! I'll make sure to set these two aside.
That blue quilt at the top of this post? It's so easy to make! The book includes a full size pattern for the wedge shape. Even better than using the paper pattern would be if you have this awesome new 10 degree ruler from Creative Grids! You know that great grippy texture on the bottom of their rulers? I've never appreciated it more than I have on this ruler. Wedge rulers tend to twist as you cut due to their shape, the grip texture stops all that. What I also appreciate about this ruler is that it goes narrower than most other wedge rulers, so it has a lot of design potential if you want to try some of the other ideas in the book your own way.
Because Creative Grids generously gave me two of this ruler I'm giving away one on Instagram, and one on Facebook. Head on over to like and follow me to get your chance! Happy stitching!

Cool giveaway.
This is a ruler I would "die" to get, imagine what possibilities it would give me!
Just found your blog, will be following.
Looks like a great book. I'm not on social media.

I will definitely need to get this ruler if I don't win one. Looks like such fun, and the book too of course. No IG account but I got in on FB.
I am a huge fan of Creative Grids rulers!
The blue quilt is probably my favorite one that I have seen in photos from your new book.
Too bad I don't do FB or Instagram. Cheers to whoever wins.
I am pretty sure I have a wedge ruler...10? 9? Took a class centuries ago from a guild member and have not done anything since...probably my oldest WIP. Thank you for bringing this back to the fore of my mind and others'. Going to hop over to Instagram now! btw I just LOVE that blue quilt.
Congrats to the lucky winners! But count me in on this great give away! I would love to win your book and the ruler to create these spectacular quilts! I live in Grants Pass, Oregon...how is the cold and rain doing in your neck of these woods? We are not getting enough rain at all and yet it is so cold compared to usual. I stay inside and quilt the majority of the time! LOL. I hope that you have a fantastic day!! brendunderscoreackatyahoodotcom
Your book is gorgeous Christina! Thank you so much for going to the trouble of posting the one I ordered over to me here in the UK! Hugs Christine x
I think number 3 , but had already intended to make something like number 1 before I read this...loads of ideas for circle oriented yardage quilts... thank you for considering us in your give-away, can't wait to look at how you've used this ruler.
