ATTN: PAPER PIECING STUDENTS!
Here is what you will need to bring - which is very little, I am happy to say.
a few pins, but not huge ones
a size 90 needle for your machine
a finger pressing thingy - nice but not mandatory
F8's, FQ's, scraps of fabric
I am assuming there will be a rotary cutter/matt and an iron already there!
The patterns I am bringing are for 6" finished blocks. They are an assortment of flowers, hearts, houses, trees, baskets, etc. etc. You might want to have a solid/near solid piece of fabric backgrounds. i.e. sky, grass, white, off white. (Especially if you plan to make more than one block and want them to coordinate)
The quilt in the pix below is the results from a PP class I taught at my hospital...a pink & white memorial for a co-worker who died from cancer. I think it turned out well considering 95% of the students had never made a quilt! (It was a bit challenging at times, to say the least. LOL) Most of the patterns I will be bringing are the same as in this quilt. BTW, we raffled off the quilt, made $1,000 and donated the $$ to Amer.Cancer Society.
Questions??

The rental has a fitted sheet on the bed but only as a mattress cover. You will need bedding and towels. Kitchen towels, etc are taken care of!

Here is a quilt that I made especially to bring with me for the retreat (just the right size for a twin). I wanted to use something that would be warm and comfy so I use minkie on the back - never again.
It is very soft and warm but not what I had hoped for.
Thanks,
Sherryl

Sherryl, that's really pretty! I've never worked with Minkie before . . . curious what the problems are . . . other than the $$cost$$.
I'm planning to bring my plaid houses to work on - started as the BOM, but has diverged into its own unique neighborhood. I'm going to cut out as many blocks as I can ahead of time and piece them there. Also may cut out some FWSQ blocks to bring and maybe a wool project. I'm debating about bringing Boom blocks to show-and-tell. Don't have any other show-and-tell to bring along.
What projects are each of you bringing to work on?

I am going to bring my Candlequilter Star paper piecing pattern, plus I am bringing a Jenny Beyers pattern that I hope to have all the pieces cut ahead of time. Plus I might bring the Bali Double wedding ring star paper piecing project that I am working on. Plus I might bring one of the IRR III centers that I am working on.
Thanks,
Sherryl
