The lists provided above are great. I just returned from our guild's very first retreat and thoroughly enjoyed it. We went to Lake Junaluska, NC and stayed in the hotel there. They provided some of our meals and a room we could sew in all hours of the day and/or night. I brought 3 different projects - each of them I pre-cut and kitted so I wasn't missing anything when I got there. (Actually got all 3 done) I also had some hand projects to take back to my room for the insomnia time I invarably have. I will remember to mark my extension cords in the future. I brought a small fold up table (not a card table) that I put my paper piecing iron on right behind my sewing table. As there were only 11 of us attending, we all got one whole table to ourselves. What a peaceful time, sewing without all the interruptions.
