Now I am also a magnet for quilting gadgets and books. I definitely have more rulers triangle rulers etc than the local quilt shop. How do I know being a friend she says so. If someone after or looking for a ruler Dotty will have one.
Books are another gadget I can't resist, bought a new bookcase at end of last year. HELP it is full. Do I read them yes and remember what I saw problem which book. Do others have these problems.

Auntpigglyn... You are not helping, you are enabling. LOL now I added that gadget to my amazon wish list. I am trying to only buy fabrics and stencils and thread. Books and gadgets are always calling my name.

That's right. My hobby is buying quilting supplies and gadgets not using them.
Then my hubby asks the most innane questions like "What's the difference berween this gadget and that gadget? They look the same to me" He actually thinks I should know how to use them. Or the other classic--"When did you use this one last?" Well I made a baby quilt for Lexie with it. (Me being so proud!!) Isn't Lexie graduating this year. Well yes but I will need it again when she has a baby.
Then there is the problem of covers and cords. These things are like Tupperware. You have the bottom but not the lid or the machine but not the cord.
One last little box of doo dads, I need to vac under the sewing machine cabinet, better known as the Bermuda triangle for sewing machine feet and seam rippers, and then I am done.
I will post pics.

Is this a "club" called gadget anon? If so sign me up. I have rulers that I bought and have never seen again, let alone used. I think my hobby is buying gadgets and books. I cleaned out my sewing room and gave away 4 big boxes of books a couple of years ago. I now have 4 shelves on my bookcases full of books. There is no hope for any of us. We need to just give in and collect things in the hope that someday we will need it and in the hope we will remember that we already have that particular tool or ruler and not buy another. Been there done that, too.
