Lou's Favorite Products: Cutting Ruler, Singer Featherweight CREATIVE GRIDS 2 1/2" x 6 1/2" (with self-grips)

In Lou's own words, "I think the product I use the most is the 2.5 x 6.5 ruler. It is the perfect size for working with jelly rolls and charm packs. But I'm starting to get more into miniature quilts and a lot of the pieces are 2.5 and less, so using a ruler that's geared to those smaller pieces really helps with accuracy."

Quarter Inch (1/4") Foot, Patchwork Piecing Quilting - Low

The Quarter Inch (1/4") Foot, Patchwork Piecing Foot is more of a necessity than a favorite for Lou. It is nice and sturdy, easy to see edge to edge to get a true quarter inch.

1" Hexagon Papers For Paper Piecing

And lastly, Lou loves the Sue Daley 1" Hexagon Papers for Paper Piecing. She used these to make the adorable Deer Christmas Hexagon below!
