have fun! buy now cause everything is going up in price.

WELL, you will have a place to put it on the return trip.

I agree! That would be a total waste of space!

I agree!

I travel with a duffle bag that can be collapsed and put into my return suitcase. since airlines now charge by the bag, could save you money.

I want to see what you bring home.

I have never asked anyone this before, but can we have pictures of the items in your suitcase, there (the quilt) and back!

The quilt is out of the suitcase. Didn't think to take a picture. And it looks like the suitcase just may go home empty. Long story but it's OK. I have plenty to work on at home.

`Go, go go and fill that fabric case up.

Now, why didnt I think of that??!!!

Now that's what I call planning ahead.

Well its only right that you fill it since you will have to pay for it to come home with! LOL! That's my plan as well! :lol:

How funny!! That's the way I always packed when I had to travel for work.

You go girl. I did that on a trip to texas and found lots of nice fabric.

Sorry to hear there will be no shopping trip. :cry: I thought you might have the fun of visiting the LQS and sharing pics of what you found. Oh, well. Hope the trip was fun.

It would be just silly to bring home an empty suitcase!

I would put the quilt in the bottom of the suitcase under some clothes. If your flying. then if you happen to not get to shop just divide the clothes so you don't have a empty suitcase to come home with.

LOL! Have fun!

I saw a tip the other day I wanted to share with you. If you have ever not had yout suit case show up at the end of a flight like I have you might want to try this next time you fly.
If you happen to be flying with somone else then put half of your clothes in there suit case and half of theres in yours. Then carryon meds and other items you don;t want to be without. This way if one suitcase goes missing you will still have what you need until they find the missing case.

Except in the case when they both go missing as happened to DH and me once. We were on our flight home so they delivered it to our house later in the day and it wasn't a big problem, except for the time and paperwork involved.

2-3 large nylon gym bags fold up nicely among your garments and hubby doesn't even have to know until you're ready to return hom with several extra bags LOL It's amazing how much fabric can be crammed into hese bags.

I would always pack a suitcase inside the one I pack, there is never enough room in for whatever you buy in just one. unless you ship your clothes you wore.
