If Mom has a sewing room, don't bother with the basics (scissors etc). Just take your project and the thread to match - and maybe your own sewing machine. Leave the kids and DH at home!

Hi, I have an old wooden box about 10''x 7'' that was made by a long departed friend as a jewelry box. It has several compartments into which I manage to fit the following- Scissors , quilting cotton,pins,thimbles,tape measure,pincushion.needles,beeswax,marking pencils,etc.etc.In fact it is a joke with friends and family that it is as much a part of me as a limb.Then I would include my project and machine cotton-- machine if needed plus 1/4inch foot.Best of all a bottle of wine - or two ! Oh I forgot, rotary cutter ,mat and at least one ruler. Did anyone mention kitchen sink!!!!!!

I have a tool box that has the tray in the top that I can put tools in and can put fabric and thread etc in the bottom. Works pretty well and doesn't take up a whole lot of room.

The most important thing I have in my togo bag is money. So I can buy the things I forgot to bring.

I have a quilted tote I carry with me that has embroidery blocks, thread, needle and scissors. I carry it in the car so if I see I have time to embroider I just pick it up and bring it everywhere. Sometimes you do more waiting than anything so it helps me accomplish more things in my day. I don't stop to embroider at home except on the machine so I still have blocks coming out and seem to get more done.

My 1st quilt: Labor Day weekend trip to the cabin in N. Minnesota 2011. Packed sewing machine, fabric, thread, ruler, rotary cutter, seam ripper, scissors, pattern, etc. Continually kept running through a mental picture of everything I would need. Part way up to the cabin, I asked dh if he liked what I was wearing. He looked puzzled, and then replied it was "okay." Good, I told him, as he would be seeing me in it all weekend. I packed for my sewing project, but had not packed any clothes or food! Good thing we keep some clothes at the cabin, and go out to eat up there quite a bit!

It doesn't matter how carefully I plan and pack, I always manage to leave out something I need. Fortunately, my quilting friends have my back. One of them always has whatever I forgot.
