I have just seen one of the coolest things I have ever seen in my life. Emily just started a quilting class and one of the materials she uses is this green mat called the “Miracle Mat”. It’s a 16′ by 22′ mat that she uses to measure and cut fabric on. The cool thing is that it’s self-healing. It actually heals itself when you cut it!

She has this little rotary cutter and demonstrated it to me. She ran the cutter along the surface of the mat hard enough to make a little slice in the mat. Then the small little slit closed itself up. I took my eyes off the mat for a few minutes and came back to it to see if I could find where the cut was. I couldn’t see it at all! It was a completely smooth mat!

Truly a modern wonder.
