It IS expensive and really handy. I like it for going to class when room is usually cramped and it is so nice to have. I seem to use the larger size more, but it was cheaper to buy the two together than separately - so I feel for that marketing strategy hook, line and sinker :)

My father made 24" rotary cutting mats for my mother and me. I almost hate to use the mat because he put so much time and love into the project, but he keeps telling me that the mat can be replaced.

I attached pictures just to share how wonderful he is. There is a handle to carry it, and mom made protective bags so we could take them to quilting retreats!

What a gift of love your dad gave you, LB, as you make gifts of love for others. What a truly special bond for the three of you.

I just bought a Fiskars 14" x 14" at Walmart. They are closing down the fabric dept so I grabbed it for $9.00. Now I wished I had grabbed the other one too. I don't know what I'd do with both but it was a SALE. I find something on sale I go crazy.

He IS wonderful! How lucky you are to have a dad like him.
I'm amazed by that cutting board. First of all it looks very large, and second it's on it's own little feet it seems. What do you place it on, or is it on a stand of some kind? Wow, I love it!

that is so wonderful, what a gift of love, my dad before he past away built me a work station for all my crafty stuff, I lost my house and everything else, but I have that work station in the shead here. Penny

I made my own. I had a mat with a bad tear in one corner. I also had a large plastic lazy susan. I traced the upside down lazy susan to size the mat into a circle. Then I just glued the mat to the top of the lazy susan. Works great.

My husband built a workspace in the spare room closet with a dresser big enough to put the mat on. I will clean it up this weekend and post a picture!!

My DH built a sewing space in the spare room closet with a dresser big enough for the mat and a large ruler holder. (I will clean it up this weekend and take a picture!)
