A friend an I are going to a retreat in March. It will be my first. I will bring whatever i use daily for quilting and it is not much, really - small cutting mat, my machine and basic sewing kit in my little fishing tool box. It can all fit in my suit case. Machine accessories fit in the machine, and fabrics fit in the suitcase. Done! If I feel inspired, I may stop by Ikea and get a portable tabletop ironing board which again fits in my suitcase. After this retreat I will figure out what useful items I left behind and what useless ones I took with me. Live and learn!
P.S. I will also tuck in some chocolate and a bottle if vino just in case
