Do you just piece in one place and then quilt and bind in he other? If I don't start restricting how much quilting stuff I haul, my clothes aren't going to fit.
Well, there's always the two sets of clothes alternative.
I will be watching this thread carefully. DH has been retired for almost 2 years and we recently decided that we can no longer handle these mid-western winters. We have started looking for houses in AZ. We are thinking that we won't move there, but will become snowbirds. Our kids and grandkids are still in MO. We have already discussed the fact that I can't live through the winter without quilting. I can't possibly take my whole stash, but I have no idea what to take and what to leave behind. Maybe I will just have to have a stash in each place. lol
