I do believe my fabric has risen in value, at least some of it. I remember buying very pretty, can't resist, Hoffman Woodblocks prints quite some years ago. Now, I think if I put up a yard or so for sale, it would fetch at the very least $9.50 a yard.
Anyway, I fit all the categories except the one about $8,000+ for tools. I think that may include a long arm or high tech sewing machine--which I don't have --Yet.!

Nope
nope

nope.
Getting closer on the age thing but about a decade younger.
Using a small corner of the guest bedroom :evil:
I don't have even close to that in tools/machines...but I DO love the gadgets, so someday probably will
I really don't have that much fabric...got a start from an ebay big box win and had a couple of boxes sent by my grandmother..so not much of a stash...
I'll get there though...I just LOVE it!
