Today is a very bad fibromyagyia day...Weather has a big hand in some of my symptoms...I may give in and go back to bed for a little. I have been trying to work and it doesn't look like I'm getting anything done. Did sort a little fabric though.

I m fibro and artheritus and permanant damaged right elbow newbie quilter, there sure seem to be a bunch of us that has fibromyalgia, we can soon have our own club :lol: :lol: :lol:

i buy from ebay( and some if i see in the shop here in Norway) but i m trying my best to buy ready cut blocks as much aS i can or atleast fat quarters.

to start cutting myself i need a 5 inch long ruler and a 5" by 5 " ; thats my starting point size i v decided. my first quilt will be 5 by 5 so if anyone knows where i can get a cheap one, yell out, i really wanted one of those from robs rulers but i cant get the link to work no matter what i do.
but actually start i do need those to rulers, i need one thats long enough to cut a whole fatquarter :wink:

I was reading this today and thought of a method to adjust your cutting table. I did this to mine. I have a light weight folding table and made leg extensions using PVC pipe in a couple of lengths. I can raise or lower the table at different heights. Connie

Hello Sunny,
I purcjased a ruler 18" x 2" marked, at Hobby Lobby in a nearby town. Would that size help you out? I'll be going there again April 2nd, Thurs, & could get one to send you if you'll tell me your price range you'd want to spend. If they're too much (? don't remember) I won't get one, but wanted to offer. It has a raised knob in center so you can hold that while cutting. I've found it really helpful. I have bone spurs on my spine (causes lots of pain, swelling & discomfort), so know your fibro is similar. None of it's fun, but don't give up. Folks on this board give out great info, I'm new to it, but been reading for several months. Welcome & if I can help, please let me know. PM me with your address so I can send it if possible. I'll also look to see what fabrics I have in case some are your colors.
God Bless, Sheila Elaine

Thanks for PVC remedy. I'll try to get it cut at the store as I don't have cutting tools for that thickness.
