Although I am frugal and try to keep that way, I couldn't quilt without my rotary cutter and rulers. I use a newer machine, but I didn't buy it, it was a gift from DH, so does that count against me? LOL.
I am a whirl at upcycling for fabrics and have yet to buy a pattern commercially. I did get a couple at the thrift store tho. I love designing my own patterns!!!
So I guess, even tho I am close, I do not grab the gold ring on this one. Hugs and smiles!
