This months tool of the month is this
Donna Dewberry Self Healing Cutting matt from Fiskars. It's a perfect shade of bluish-mauve. My sewing room has been a haphazard slew of tools and colors, all which lead to my own visual distraction. To cut my distractions down, I needed to pick one or two colors. Most cutting mats are dark green with yellow lines. They show most fabric ok, but they add a huge, dark green hole to a room. I find this lavender-ish cutting mat uplifting and motivating. I leave it up and work on it for everything. It's fairly large, (18" x 24") with 30, 45, and 60 degree lines for cutting bias strips and other strips as needed.
Brighten your room!
