IF you are an applique lover, you will use the dies for those. I use my flower ones the most. I also have the strip dies and love them. Not only do I cut strips, but I then lay the strips across the blades to cut squares. You can cut so many at one time it is fantastic. Look at the patterns you like to make and soon you will see what shapes and sizes you will use before you spend money on dies. As you know, they are not cheap, but last a long time. Recommend when you buy the thick plastic to cover the fabric, buy two so you will have an extra one and not have to put your project on hold while you run to get one or order it. The die I was most grateful to get as a gift is the Double Wedding Ring! There are so many pieces to be cut I would never attempt it with templates. On the Accuquilt, a queen size quilt was cut in less than 6 hours - well over 1000 pieces! I hope this helps. Often you can get them on Amazon or ebay at lower prices. Seldom have clearance sales on them, but when they do you can score! I have never paid full price, always good sales or clearance and free shipping. Have fun in retirement!Stitcher/aka Paula Hedgeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07718147173583875069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-87159023110999621112019-02-25T21:09:54.185-05:002019-02-25T21:09:54.185-05:00Just to let you know, usually if I can't see p...Just to let you know, usually if I can't see photos on my cell I can see them on my desktop but not this time. Three photos in the middle of the post of quilts are a small gray, round circle. I'm glad you got time for a retreat for yourself.Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02610078566703525606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13569819.post-72732416170106119082019-02-25T19:50:59.304-05:002019-02-25T19:50:59.304-05:00Glad they shared a bee outfit with you.

Love the quote about attitude, it is right on! My roommate here gave me her mothers favorite advice " when you meet someone repeat their name 8 times and you will never forget.....works here with all the different therapy people, bet it would work at quilting retreat also.
