My dream is to be one of those people at a retreat, you know, the one who rolls in with just her machine and a tote in hand, all in one trip, at the end, packs up and rolls back out. Not me, I take way more then I can possible sew in a year, let alone a weekend, and I need five trips to the car and a few strong friends to pack everything in and out. At the end of the weekend, it takes me an hour to get everything packed and hauled out. Every retreat, I promise myself, this is the year I am traveling light, but then ambition always gets in the way. LOL There is nothing more frustrating then having the time to sew and then not having the right material or tool, or not enough to do. Pack plenty.
