I would take several projects in various stages of effort. I would not plan to cut out a project because there is seldom space to set up that activity for any length of time. You would be occupying too much table space for too long a period of time. Take some hand work because it occupies little space and you can move around to visit with other people while doing it. Machine work is always good, especially if you have carefully cut and labeled sections for your pattern. If you chain piece your project you minimize time at the ironing station which is always a bottleneck. Be sure to label all of your stuff with your name so you don't lose track of it. Mostly, have fun and enjoy the fellowship.
