Yes, my quilting supplies are easily worth more than my car. I have one of the pressing mats inside my travel portfolio bag - I think Dritz is the brand, and I don't really use it except when i go away for a weekend and bring something along.
I remember a time in my life, a lot of my carpentry tools did double duty for quilting, and now I still pick up new toys. Seems like something new is always catching my eye
