Hi Mishi, from England!
I'm 27 and live in Shropshire. I've visited Scotland a couple of times and really enjoyed it :-)
I've got a 6x24 ruler and 18x24 mat which are very useful for cutting up any size of fabric on. I also have a 12x18 mat and 12x6 rules that I use a lot too.
This board is full of great advice, so if you're not sure about anything just ask. I join in on a few of the swaps and although I generally have to plan to finish things a little before the deadline to allow for posting its never been a problem.
