I go to a quilt treat every November. I usually bring several projects to keep me busy. If I take a new project, I will do all my cutting at home. Keep your projects simple and varied. I bring paper piecing, redwork, even a quilt to bind, quilts that have the blocks made and need to be put together and quilts cut for a simpler pattern. Our retreats are usually lots of chatter, laughter and eating so anything too complicated stays home
