retreat!

I'm so exhausted from preparing for the retreat - I hope I don't sleep all the way through it! :-)

Here's my huge pile of stuff, waiting by the front door for Robin to pick us up. There's a seat cushion, two quilts for the show-n-tell, a power strip, iron, rulers, pressing mat, and so much more I can't remember now. And of course, all my projects nicely bagged...



Here's my to-do list:
  • 24 moleskine notebook covers
  • One of these quilts
  • an apron
  • start on some half-square-triangles from 6" vintage linen squares
I really had to resist the urge to bring every WIP in my sewing room! I have an irrational fear that I'll run out of things to do. It's crazy - I probably already have a week's worth of sewing in there!

And of course, you can't go to a retreat without bringing munchies!! Peanut butter cup cookies and chex mix. Yum!


Okay, gotta run and pack some clothes now. :-) Have a great weekend!

  2. How fun, I'm going to my first ever retreat this weekend, and after looking at your pile, I think I'll add a quilt or two :) I started out with lots, then downgraded to a little carry-on bag ;)

    Cheers,
