It would be quicker to put what I have not bought:)

I've been sewing for years, mostly clothing, with a few machine quilts here and there. I never had a rotary cutter.
I was in an accident a couple of years ago and was determined to do this quilting thing, so I bought a rotary cutter. Then I read of the accidents on here and must admit, it's still in the package. I've got some nerve damage and not sure I'm up to the coordination that a rotary cutter will need, but it sits there and stares at me!
My dear husband is in the process of turning our dining room into my sewing room and there are many thingns going in there that I got from this list. Sorry, can't remember them all

With every message I have read so far, that named what was purchased, I said, "uh huh" me too, I bought one. I am easily swayed, and love stuff. From fabric, books, tools, etc. I don't post much, but I read everything.

Hi, I just joined a few days ago. I have to tell you a story. Even though I have been quilting for about 15 years. How I got into to it was...I was sorta forced.I had never made a queen size quilt & hand quilted it to give away.(I had made 1 quilt 35 years ago for my futher husband-4" sqs. from all odd ball fabrics). Anyways,my friend asked to help her make this quilt...Then she said we were going to hand quilt it...I said WHAT!! You're crazy.WELL,I ended up finishing and quilting it by myself.She helped a little with hand quilting.It was started during summer school vacation and had to be done by mid Oct. for a raffle at the schools Octoberfest.My son was not even in kindergarten yet.A 3rd person gave my friend the wrong size to make.I think she gave a bedspread size to the floor.After piecing it,I said this looks huge.I put it on my queen bed and it hung over 1 foot on the floor all around.I had to cut some off and re do it.Besides that we ran out of fabric and ran around 3 states trying to get more.Well, had to add another color.Now, we had extra pieces, so I made 2 pillow shams.I got it done on time, some how.It was a disaster, BUT got me hooked on quilting.After that quilt,I was the offical quilt maker for the school until we moved to FL. Made made 3 others after that and they were all hand quilted. The 2nd one I made was a 72 sq. sampler ... queen size and the school made $1,500 on it. So, welcome to the whole of quilting. OOPS, this went to the wrong place

I've made, bought and learned from topics on this board. One area that might be overlooked but that I always like to check -- I've made several dishes from recipes posted here.
Thanks to all who post, no matter what the subject.
