I am going to a small quilt retreat in October and would like to take along some hints to share with the gals. I know this board is full of knowledge so would you give me your best hints you use for quilting. I know there was something a while back but I haven't been able to find all the hints that were to be listed in a group for us.

Thanks for your help. Figured if I got started on this early enough I could organize them into subject matter and that might work better than just randomly throwing them out.

Hint #1 = Have Fun
Hint #2 = Don'e be afraid to learn something new
Hint #3 = Feeling discouraged; always refer to Hint #1

Enjoy your retreat.

It's okay to step outside the box, sometimes plan B turns out better.

Have a fabulous trip!

There are no mistakes - just creative opportunities... ;-)

If you buy a new machine, don't be afraid to take it out of the box and use it.
Don't be afraid to try something new. :-D

Bring chocolate and wine!!

I just saw a great tip on Fons and Porters show.
When making a log cabin quilt buy a couple of dollar store silverware trays, one for light fabrics and one for dark.
Put your cut strips into the trays, they will be all sorted and ready to use.

Have fun!!
