Ok, the IMPORTANT packing is done for my trip tomorrow!!! What fun I had doing this!! The 3 tier tote snaps together with a top carrying handle. Got it at Joann's 50% off. The clear colored pouch is where the completed hex's go. It was only a couple of dollars at Joann's. All the paper hex's were cut from scrap paper-the subsciption inserts from magazines I have been saving-figuring that I MIGHT find a use for them! I have wound bobbins with different color thread for piecing so I didn't have to take whole spools and put them in a locking pill box, $1.99 at Joann's, and I have a few suggested (by board members-thank you-) thread cutting tools what SHOULD be allowed by the airlines. I'm set!! Now, I guess I should give some thought to what I will pack in the suitcases--
