Three years ago, I had the blessing of winning the 1st place prize for all expense paid trip to Paducah, plus $200 cash. Did the happy dance & set out. I spent the $200 on a new style rotary cutter & mat, neither of which I use or like. Wished I had spent the money on fabric instead. Live, learn & quilt, I always say. At least I would have had something to show for my good fortune.
