During my quilting practice on Sunday, I tried out all four of Angela Walters’ new quilting rulers. Today we’ll discuss the one known as Squiggy.

I’m not sure now where I heard it, but someone recently said to me that if the first month of the year was the trial to the rest of the subscription, they’d just cancel now. Amen!
