Tons of ideas! Thanks!
I use the baby clippers (no file on them) because they are small and usually stay sharper than regular clippers. Plus, when my family is in need of nail clippers, they leave the baby ones alone. :)

When I take "illegals" such as scissors, needles (lighter :oops: ), I put all the items in my makeup case which I keep in my oversized purse. I put them through the scanner and have never been asked to take them out by security. Once on the plane, I just do my work.

You can find out the current allowable items at www.tsa.gov

Just make sure your scissors have the rounded ends, and if you take nail clippers, make sure they don't have a file, since those will be taken away.
Hope this helps!

I'm in the quilting process of my blocks, some are a 12" block with a frame (or border) which makes it as big as 4 blocks, the other pieces are 2 blocks sewn together. I'm hand quilting, when I'm done I'll sew the blocks together, top only then fold over and blind stitch the backing. That is the plan, I'll let you know soon, I have enough quilted to sew one row together. I'm doing it like this so I can bring it to work with me and work on it when I have time. If the putting it together goes well it would make machine quilting waaaaay easier too!
