Fabric stash, sewing machine--treadle or hand crank, cutting mat, rotary cutter with blades, thread stash, rulers. Since it's a tropical island I think I could skip the batting or just use extra layers of fabric in it's place

This sounds about right!!! Maybe two bolts of fabric and leave the crackers home......

The blades you mentioned are wonderful. Have been using them for the last month.

I only need three, scissors, rotary cutter, rotary cutter blades, all can be used as weapons and cutting tools not to mention reflection off the rotary cutter replacement blade = Fire. I'm set. Oh and the latest issue of McCall's Quilting

Sunbonnet quilt I've been working on for more years than I care to admit. Scissors, needle threader, thread, hoop, batting and backing.

Forgot to mention my sewing machine, it can double as a noise distributor to scare all the animals away. Honestly the loudest sewing machine on the planet but I love it.

Please clarify. Is this question about bringing 7 quilting notions used for surviving or 7 things I could not live without?

That's a tough question, I'd have to think more about it!

I would bring stuff useful for surviving, not sewing.
