    I have a wooden rack with 8 slats in it that my brother-in-law made me. I am a new quilter, and at first I couldn't figure out why I might want a rack for my rulers, but I love it. It sits at the back of my "computer desk" that I sew at, and the ruler sort of lean against the wall. It keeps them all out of the way and still easy to get at.

    I have a flat wooden holder/sorter that sits on my sewing table. Think it's about 6-18 with slits. I keep the rulers I use most often right there. 6*24, 4*4, 6*6, 15*15, 9*9. "Speciality rulers store on two huge "o" rings I hang in a closet.

    I gave my hubby a picture of a ruler holder and he went to the shop and cut several out for me. He's pretty handy, I guess I will keep him.

    I saw one - probably on one of the blogs I read - that was made from fabric - she designed & sewed it herself - it had pockets sized to fit her rulers and the whole thing was hung on a door.
