Me, me, me! ~~ Because I can't bring a lot of fabric, and I would just love to work on charity quilts.  I am in that mindset because that's what I am trying to do at home -- make some quilts for my quilt group's charities.  Thanks!

I can bring my own Featherweight.  Thanks. -- Jonna

TRAVELING attendees  (who requested a machine): Who can POTENTIALLY  bring your own machine if needed?  Contact Ellen….[we will confirm with you later, if we can provide one]   For now, we need to know our options for planning!

Ellen:  I can bring my machine, I have a case that will go under the seat, so check me off the list that needs a machine!

one piece 30 inches, the other 36 inches...the larger one makes a border on the smaller one.. edited to add: or as Pirate and Patty said..any size as long as the bigger piece is 6 inches bigger!

Or, as I usually do, cut a WOF square, then cut a 6 in  smaller square for the top.  that way you are not wasting a strip for the bigger piece.  Trying to cut down on scraps-HA!!

I wanted to borrow a FW. It is always much appreciated.

Ok Suze!   That helps!

i am counting on you bring your machine….if that needs to change, let me know.

Jonna, yes, Cathy and I are making charity kits.

we are trying hard to precut them as cutting and ironing spaces are more limited then in past years.   So try8 g to get a feel for how much we need to get ready….

jonna, are you flying?  If bringing your FW is a hardship, we are beginning to balance needed machines.   I will confirm with you before retreat.

Ami, I make no guarantees that you get a featherweight!  We are having to borrow more machines then we hostesses have, but we will get you a machine.   Are you flying this year?

Yes, I am flying, but I do have a FW case that will fit under the seat in front of me.  Thanks.  

Also, assuming the kits you and Cathy are assembling will be enough for a small children's quilt (larger than a baby quilt, more like a drag-around quilt) or an adult lap quilt, I think I could manage 2-3 tops during the retreat.  I am not as fast as some (Patty, this means YOU!) but I think I could get that many done.  It would also be nice to make some string blocks if locals will be bringing their scraps and strings.  I can work with whatever you provide.  Thanks.  

yup...that is how I would do it too!
