Lucky you! I usu take projects that are already cut & ready to sew. That way, if there are limited cutting or ironing tables, you won't miss any time sewing. Of course, if you do get to wait for an ironing or cutting table, you can always make a new quilting friend & learn lots of stuff. Take whatever makes you happy doing. And be prepared w/extra machine needles, thread, bobbins, cuter blades, etc. Stuff even happens at retreats but I would be there would be others quilters who would be willing to share. Take chocolate too. Just have fun & let us see what you've done. Kathy
