What to take to a quilt retreat?
Hi Ann,
sounds like a wonderfull weekend! I would love to hear from yo (privately) about what retreat you went on/ what quild? I'm sort of new to MD and haven't found a home away from home for my machine! Thanks, NS ann wrote: Hi DeNise, I just went to my first quilt retreat this past weekend! Had a blast. Here is what I found is nice to take. Towel, sheets, quilt, flashlight, mug for coffee/tea, creamer, sugar or sugar substitute, rotary cutter (take extra blades), scissors (one for fabric, one for paper), sewing machine with lots of bobbins, extra needles for machine, little fan, a light, a log extension cord with surge protector and lots of space for plugs, iron, iron pad, toiletries in a bag or box, candy to share, soda or bottled water and cup to drink, fabric, thread, and any other quilting supplies you may need. Also take some hand work if you have it to pass the time when you get tired of the machine and want to take a break. Oh and the best thing I found and used a lot is one of the thread snips caddies to put your snips and bits of thread into. There is a great free pattern for one at http://www.janome.com/project_show.php?id=449 It is really useful. Gets lots of sleep before you go because you will want to stay up all night stitching and talking with the ladies! Just relax and have a great time!!!! Ann in Maryland |
