Going to a Quilting Retreat in two weeks and thanks to everyone for all the information. I now have a very long list of things to bring...My husband always thinks I take to much, but I usually need it sooner or later..I also bring a small paper bag with me and I tape it to the table for all my scrapes I have left that are two small to use in a quilt...I don't sleep very well when I go to these Retreats, but I can sleep when I get home...They are wonderful and I learn a lot from other Quilters...
