Welcome back to both the boards and quilting.
I'm having some major changes in my life and have been reorganizing and re-prioritizing my belongings both in my sewing room and life in general.
I think after my sewing machine and kit that contains things like my scissors and threads and needles and various odds and ends, after a sewing machine I need a rotary cutter, a mat, a 6.5x24 ruler and a square of some sort, probably at least 10.5".
