I have the same situation, I just ordered more stash stuff, bought a new ruler, and WANTED more doo-dads, but I am a little bit thrifty or try to be most of the time, so I just wiped the drool off my chin, told myself that I didn't NEED anything more. How many things have you bought that you THOUGHT you needed but never ever used? Rulers for me. Lost interest in what they did to actually work on the quilt top they were made for. *sigh*

Has anyone else noticed the difference in quality in the cutting mats? I have one that I bought probably 20 years ago; it is a little faded, and just starting to feather when I cut on the same line too often, so I bought a new one and less than 6 months later it is already starting to feather. Sure made me angry

I thought it was just me... I noticed a few years ago my mats just don't last nearly as long as the ones I bought years ago. I thought it was imagination.

I know exactly what you mean! I have bought fabric, patterns, and pattern books. I just order the Carol Doak 50 fabulous stars book from Amazon after seeing the pretty stars on the photo section. I have enough fabric to last me for 2 lifetimes, and I only have one.

Me too... I've spent and saved on various items. Sharing information is a good thing.
