December Tool of the Month

 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!
