| A stowaway? Cute! |
I'm going on a quilting retreat next weekend. After (finally) attending my very first meeting with the Chicago Modern Quilt Guild today, I'm super excited! Although I have absolutely no idea what to bring or what to work on. Any tips?
I'm thinking of taking a few projects so I can flit between them as I like. That way I don't get burnt out on one project. But I'd love to see some FINISHED results from this retreat.... I'm thinking of bringing one of the unfinished/hiding at the bottom of the closet projects out to be finished (it really just needs to be basted and quilted). I may work on two other quilts I'm in the middle of right now too. But I want to bring a bit of stash fabric in case I want to try out something new or do something on a whim... I don't have a lot of stash to go with though. Most of it's spoken for already. lol.
I did accidentally buy some fabric online last night. What can I say, it was about 1:30AM and it was calling to me. I actually compared prices for about an hour before deciding what and how much and from where.... hopefully sewmamasew gets that fabric to me quick! :) One of the projects that I could foresee myself finishing at this retreat includes some backing fabric I bought. Thanks Aunt Kathy for the Christmas fabric money (a check that I found in my wallet a week ago! lol).
Seriously though, any tips of what to bring / what not to forget? I'd really appreciate it!
When our guild gets together for our sewing Saturdays, I always pack way more than I'll be able to get done in the amount of time we have. I think this is good though because then I can work on whatever I'm in the mood for and it's better to be safe than sorry and run out of projects to work on.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to hear all about the weekend and how it goes! Of course, it's just like my scrapbooking weekends...I'm really not a fan of having to haul all sorts of stuff out and then back in.
