I'm looking for something but don't know the name - i'm sure someone on here will know.
It's a plastic square ruler, clear plastic with grids all over it, probably A5 or A4 size?
Can't find any on ebay but not sure what to search for.

Edit-you can see it here in a couple of her pictures http://needledmom.blogspot.com/2008/04/fabric-postcard-tutorial.html

Do you mean the yellow grid thing?
It appears to have Omnigrid printed on it so a quick google returned websites such as this
http://www.cottonpatch.co.uk/acatalog/Mats.html

That what you mean?

Is it the quilters ruler or the cutting mat you mean?

If its the quilters ruler (also called rotary ruler) then you can get these on ebay (Hobbycraft stock them too)

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/?_from=R40&_trksid=m570&_nkw=quilters+ruler&_sacat=See-All-Categories

http://shop.ebay.co.uk/i.html?_nkw=rotary+ruler&_sacat=0&_odkw=quilters+ruler&_osacat=0&_trksid=p3286.c0.m270.l1313

If its the cutting mat you can get these in any sewing shop, Hobbycraft and ebay sell them too. If you are using it with a rotary cutter then try and get an Olfa one.

Loving this thread by the way. I still cant find scalloped 2" punch and 1.5" circle punch for elizabeth shaw mints. All the links from here have sold out now.
