EQ BlockBase (the CD with all the block patterns). If it seems I will keep quilting regularly, then maybe I will spring for it this fall. It isn't that costly, but a person could spend that money on fabric instead .....

I want a Janome Herizon. I need to save for it. A couple of my friends have one and they love it. I have a Janome but the Horizon has a larger opening. I saw a sit-down mid-arm at quilt show. that was kind of interesting, but I'm not sure about it. I would have to try it. An LQS near me offers a 1 hour class on her long-arm, limited to 3 people in the class so everyone gets time to sew. Then she will rent time on the machine so you can do your own quilts. That may be a way for me to go.

I want the 9 or 10 degree ruler. I'd like to make one of those spiral quilts. I'll buy it one of these days.

I'm considering the Accuquilt and a long arm or mid-arm, but I would need somewhere to put it. I'm also put off by the cost.

I would love to have a mid or long arm. Gadget wise, I am with so many others, I would love a Go! cutter. I just got a new to me Singer Futura SEQS 6000, that I am still exploring. I love it so far. My dh is determined to get me a Featherweight one day, he knows I would love one, and he is a sweety.

Every time I see something new I want it but with a limited sewing space I have to pass up most of them. I would love a long arm machine and frame. Someday maybe. For now it's limited to specialty rulers.

If you go to Paducah, Sharon Shambur usually has a booth and has the halo rings. They are really nice and she will let you try it out on the machine before you buy.

I took the plunge and love it. Depends on the dies you want but I have some that I use all the time and it really saves on rotary cutting.

No gadgets are on my list, surprisingly. I just want to buy fabric, always.

I would love a housekeeper! One that comes in a straights out my mess that always comes with my quilting. I have such envy of those tidy sewing rooms.

I would love a bigger sewing room. One about twice the size of the one I have now. And more storage! I would like to have more shelves with doors on them that go from floor to ceiling. And more lighting. That's all! If my husband would just let me knock the wall out between my sewing room and the computer room and take out the computer and let me expand my sewing room into the computer room, I would be one happy camper. But I can't talk him into it.
