I bought a couple of new bags to use as my travel quilting kit.
I'm tried of forgetting things and would like to have a travel bag that I use
when I quilt at my LQS. I have attached picture of my bags. As you can
see I have lots of room but don't want to carry the kitchen sink.....

So can you help me out with a check list of items you really need.

Here is a picture of the small bag.

rotary cutter, new blade, small ruler, thimble, hand needles, machine needles, needle threader, thread ripper, screwdriver, extra machine feet, threads, bobbins, clipper scissors, paper scissors, chocolate, pen, pencil, pins, baggie for garbage threads, highlighter, post-its, safety pins.....how's that for a start?

That was a good list for her, except the order was off, chocolate first, fifth, tenth, and last!!!!

OH. Such pretty bags. I never leave home to quilt so I have no idea what to pack. I would leave out something I really need. I just know it.

Thanks that list is just great. I did leave some of those things off the list
I started. So I'm glad I posted here. I bought my bags in Canton, Texas
at First Monday. Don't ask me where that place is huge. But a really
great price 50% off set cost 13.00 for both pieces. I bought a set in a
different color for my quilting buddy. I going to surprise her with it at our
quilting superbowl party today. I out the door now to quilt with about 10 or 12 of my friends at the local LQS. Thanks again for all the help.

I just had a sew day yesterday with some quilty friends and had a blast! Two things I forgot to bring with me: tape measure and square-up ruler. Have fun with your friends!

I like your bags. I am not sure how big they are, but you will be needing a small mat for your rotary cutter

I would take and extension cord so i had enough to plug my machine in. Marge

Cord what a great idea. I will add that to the list

Thanks
