There’s a slight chance I could bring my own featherweight.  I know the rooms have microwaves but is there anyone local that has a single burner hot plate that they could bring for me to use starting Thursday? If so then it would be much easier to say yes to bringing my own sewing machine. 

BREAKING NEWS! I have cleared a path to my sewing machine. I repeat, I have cleared a path to my sewing machine! I have not sewn in probably two years. Probably the last time I touched a sewing machine was when we did a virtual quilt retreat, whenever that was.
 

I’m on a mission, my niece is having a baby and I just learned this week that her shower is in two weeks! My goal is to have a top ready to bring to the shower. Luckily I already have a lot of iSpy squares cut so I really just need to do sashing and a border. While that might sound perfectly reasonable on the surface, it’s going to be a little tricky with all of my other responsibilities. 

Misha,   I sure now, that we can get enough machines for everyone to use w/out you bringing yours!   I just am not sure at this point how many FW will be available.

(lol, our supply is slightly different).  I know you have food issues to deal with!  Don’t worry about your machine!  
i hope someone replies about a hot plate….I don’t have one!

Go Misha!   Enjoy your therapy at the machine!  I am!

Ellen/Misha:  If no one else can, I have a hot plate that I can bring.  It is compact, I bought it for something-LOL- and haven't gotten it out of the box.  But it would be easy to bring.

I'm still afraid to bring a machine on the plane. You know the last time I tried that, it caused damage worth 1/2 the machine, and it never was 100%. I've gotten much better with other machines, so I'm good with any you can beg/borrow/...not steal :P 

Thanks Patti…..we will see if anyone local responds!

but keep you in mind.,

I just want to let everyone know that we will be doing the Left/Right Story again this year.  If you wish to participate you will need to bring an item with a value of $10 to pass.  It can be a quilting or non-quilting item, it’s your choice.  It’s a fast-paced game so I suggest an item easily passed left or right.

From what I have read, their major problem is the fact that they have for years focused on profits and neglected their operating upgrades, and it had bitten them in the butt!  Hopefully they will get things corrected and updated.  The pilots and crews were caught in the mess also.

Glad you made it home!  The pics of the luggage sitting around was a yikes! Hope you get your lost luggage!!

By way of update:  My mobility scooter was found in SW Cargo and they sent it to us at home by way of Fed Ex.  We already have an appointment for the repair vendor to come evaluate whether they can fix it or whether SWA pays for a new replacement.
