I am guilty on all accounts, just a little over the age, The equipment soon adds up with a couple of machines, embroidery machine and all the assorted rulers, templates, irons, magazines, pattern books and software etc etc oh, can't forget the computer that is needed to run a lot of this stuff. We used to have a combined computer/sewing room.... guess who got tossed out. Fabric is a huge investment over the years but I do enjoy shopping for it and so many nice quilts have gone to family.
