Well I lost my New Cutting Mat so went and bought another one..
took it home and pounded nails in the wall beside the sewing machine to hang my rulers on and have the mats right below that..
I looked for over a year for that mat - good thing the next one I bought was a different color...I still have fabric from when my first son was born almost 31 yrs ago... and thats in the dresser that Held his baby clothes...guess I had better get organized too..got lots of clear sweater size tubs for colors of fabrics that stack and they are under the table where the sewing machine is You can see whats inside... and then make a skirt for the table to hide them if you want to...?...well so is every thing else... :-D
I have loads of books and was gifted 2 nice Quilting books by my Girlfriend who passed away last September...I have picked up some really nice books at yard sales too..Good Luck
