Creative Grids Giveaway

GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED
The giveaway, sponsored by Creative Grids is this lovely little bunch!

A True Cut Rotary Blade Sharpener

A new non slip Basic Range 4" x 14" rectangle ruler

A new non slip multi size triangle ruler 45 and 90 degrees

And finally a Creative Grids Non slip ruler demonstration DVD.

Yes really all this!!

Creative Grids specialises in non slip rulers made especially with quilters in mind. I am always impressed by the range of rulers and quality cutting mats they sell. There is an online offer at the minute for free p&p across the entire site - UK ONLY.

I was very curious about the True Cut rotary blade sharpener, but it does exactly what it says on the packaging. I tried it out on an old blade which was ready for the bin, and it brought it back to a sharp finish.
Inside the plastic exterior is a sharpening stone
which sharpens the blade as the rotary cutter is pushed along the track.
It says on the instructions that about 20 goes should sharpen the blade,
I found that it took a few more than this for my blade.
I guess it depends on how dull the blade is!
Next up, I tried out the new non slip multi size triangle ruler. Very handy for cutting out triangles from strips of fabric, half and quarter square triangles.
To make half square triangles, first of all cut a strip of fabric.
The width of strip will determine what size of triangle you end up with.
I cut a 3 1/2" strip, which as you can see written on the ruler,
will give me a finished square of 3".
Cut along the straight edge and then cut along the sloped edge. To save time it is also possible to double up the strips and cut more than one at once.
Turn the ruler 180 degrees and place in line with the cut edge.
You may notice the flat edge at the top of the triangle,
I found this a very useful guide when sewing two triangles together.
On the other end of the ruler is the guide for cutting quarter square triangles.
Again the size of the strip determines the size of the triangle.
All measurement details are included with the ruler.
Place the ruler on the strip of fabric according to the markings.
Cut along each side of the triangle ruler.
And hey presto, quarter square triangles!
Just turn the ruler 180 degrees and cut again.
I found it very easy to match up the triangles.
The triangles matched perfectly
And I just love this pin wheel made from two quarter square triangles and a half square triangle.
I found this block layout on the McCalls Quilting website.
I think I may just have the beginning of a new pin wheel quilt!
Back to the giveaway - how useful would this lot be??

    I would love a new ruler from creative grids. Before I moved I put a piece of masking tape on my ruler I had because it made it easy to measure what I was measuring. Well the masking tape ended up staying on the ruler for years after we moved because I couldn't find the box it was in. Then when we moved again I finally found it but the masking tape glue wouldn't come off, when I tried to wash it, all the measurement markings came off so that's why I need a new ruler!

    Wow do they have some great things on their website. I think I would want the non slip 3" turn around drunkards path ruler. Thanks for taking your time to host the giveaway for all of us.

    That rotary blade sharpener would be really handy, but I thought I'd go to the site to pick something else too. I'm nearly out of batting, so some Heirloom 80/20 would be really nice right about now. And I didn't know they had batting seam tape - I'd definitely get some of that. All I have are little pieces of batting these days - great for little projects, but I mostly make bed quilts.

    A True Cut Rotary Blade Sharpener would be fabulous to win. I've got a pile of old blades and I've never seen this sharpener before. Thanks for a chance.

    I have just bought a 12.1/2" square from Creative Grids in the UK! My next favourite would be the multi size triangle ruler this looks really useful. Thanks for the giveaway. Linda

    I think I would go for the non-slip hexagons since I am thinking of doing a project with hexies. It's hard to choose between all the goodies there though!

    Although I love rulers and want them all, I think my favorite today is the rotary blade sharpener. I sew a lot late at night and if my blade dulls and I am out, it would be a sure saver.

    I found your blog on the 'What quilters are blogging about today' site. I always enjoy perusing blogs to glean quilting ideas and techniques and I especially enjoyed your review of these products and would enjoy owning them! I will continue to be a follower of your blog because I think you are providing the information I need to have access to as a 'self-made' quilter.

    I just hate reviews ;-) that make me want yet another tool for my quilting armory.

    Went to the Creative Grids website and if I have to pick one item for the top of my wishlist it would have to be the Creative Grids Non-Slip Curves for Rectangles by Karla Alexander. Of course I'd have to have the 2011 DVD 2 featuring this item as well.

    Thanks for hosting this giveaway.
