    I would buy a quality iron. My friend has a reliable that she likes, and she also has a quilter's ironing board.

    I guess it sounds like you have everything you need or want so I'd suggest signing up for a quilting weekend get-away either with a friend or not...You will make new friends, have dedicated time to your hobby, and maybe even learn something new that you had not thought of before....

    Wait! You don't have to spend it now. I like to keep a little money of my own tucked away to use when I find something I really, really want, or for a hotel room for a couple a nights if my girlfriend and I want to meet up somewhere for a day or two, then I don't have to wonder if I can afford it......I have my stash! Makes me happy

Is it safe to assume there are no classes you would like to take or new techniques you would like to learn? I have to confess, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around this one... I have such a tiny fabric stash and so few gadgets and tools that I would have that money spent in a heartbeat! Good luck and let us know what you end up doing!
    I am with madmimm on this one. I would have no trouble spending a lot more than that.

    Buy a couple of rolls of Warm and White..when it is on sale for 1/2 price...that should spend most of your money..and with charity quilts you could use a lot..then there is always Minkie fabric..great for baby quilts..or any quilts ..love the feel..

    What about a quilt TRIP! or a quilting GETAWAY! I know in WA state a quilter that has a B&B over looking the sound. The enclosed SUN room (all windows over looking the water), was turned into a BIG sewing and QUILTING room! Just a thought for something in your area. Good Luck!

    How about donating a magazine subscription to your local library?

    I would spend it on quilting notions, books or any tools/rulers to make my quilting expense easier.
