I went shopping today! I got a cutting mat, rotary cutter 3-pack (has rotary cutter, scissors and snips), ironing mat, a teeny tiny iron, threads, needles, pins and a few other misc. items. Oh and some fat quarters to make a Disappearing 9 Patch so I can start out with something easy. I still had a 6.5"X24 ruler from years gone by
Thanks so much for the ideas!
