I'm starting a list of must-haves! I've never been on a retreat before...what should I take?
Thanks! |
Machine
Scissors Rulers (6x18 & a 6" square) Small cutting mat Rotary cutter Seam ripper Thread (3 colors) Bobbins That's the basics. Then whatever supplies on the list for the class. If an open sewing day...whatever!! :-) |
Along with all the usual quilting equipment, I have found a good pair of sneakers or hiking boots came in handy when I wanted to walk in the hills (the usual retreat I go to is very rural and remote). Also, bring along a good book or few magazines to read. Because, believe it or not (GASP!!), you just might end up not feeling like sewing/quilting for a few hours!!!

Here's a list to get you started! One of my retreat buddies put this together for us, it's VERY handy!

A list of what you take to the retreat. Check list when packing to return home. :)

A comfortable chair cushion....and maybe your own comfy chair...and YOUR TOOTHBRUSH LOL
|
Your favorite quilts for show and tell (if they have that). A heating pad for achy back! I love to take an empty tissue box to set next to me to use for a mini trash can. Chocolate! (I like M & M peanuts!) I always take my thermo mug for diet coke (or coffee). Quilt books and mags for inspiration! Swim suit if they have a pool. And my favorite snips!
