cutting strips by
Dawn Alguard
I'm making cushion covers and I need to cut three strips 7 1/2" wide and
3 feet long. I can't figure out the best way to do this to make sure

The best plan I've come up with so far...

Valkyrie
'Twas the night of Thanksgiving, But I just couldn't sleep
I tried counting backwards, I tried counting sheep.
The leftovers beckoned
The dark meat and white But I fought the temptation
With all of my might.
Tossing and turning with anticipation
The thought of a snack became infatuation.
So, I...
