I'm bringing an extra machine , light , extension cords, power strips . some basic tools hammer , screwdriver etc, guess we don't need ironing boards and irons since they have. we can use the big cutting mats extra rotary cutters ,smaller rulers , pins , scissors(sp) make sure you put your name on all the extra stuff so it can be returned to the rightful owners. WE will have a fridge in the sewing area so we can go to store and get sandwich stuff for lunches ,once we all get there and snack stuff. If someone wants to bring a radio or Cd player for some music that would be nice. Gee I know I'm missing something ,but my brain is just not coming up with it. any suggestions are welcome.
Have any of you had contact with Mary? she stated she was coming but I"ve yet to get her money. and she has not returned any of my messages left on here.?
I have some nice door prize gift that will be given away during our week ,and I have had a very nice gift made for everyone when you all arrive. Iknow your're all gonna love it.
Don't forget to bring you gift for the white elephant , gosh I think that just about covers it ., Please let me know if I have missed anything.

My list of extras are 1 extra sewing machine, mats, rulers and rotary cutters, 2 floor ott-lites, extension cords, surge protector strips, label maker to be sure everything is labeled.
Barbara, If you're keeping track, will that be enough sewing machines? I could bring 2 extra if needed.
It's getting closer and closer.....Can't wait.

Diana I'm pretty sure that is enough .wehave 3 flying in and I' think we have them covered. Barbara
I can bring one large cutting mat, a rotary mat, one 45mm rotary cutter, and a couple of large rulers. I don't have table risers but would appreciate the extra height if someone does.
I can bring two heavy duty 8-outlet power boxes with long cords. Sorry, I don't have extra lamps.
I can bring one design wall with hooks.
Should we start a chart? What else do we need? Barbara, can you send out a message to all participants to check in here? Some of this may have been discussed earlier, but it's hard to find when those discussions fall back in the pages.

Barbara: If someone wants to bring a radio or Cd player for some music that would be nice.
The only issue I have with CD players is that not everyone likes the same music. Plus, for those who have hearing problems (and/or hearing aids) music playing can make it difficult to have conversations. Even if it's on low.
Does that make me sound like a grump?
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!

The CD player is not a must I just mentioned it in case someone wanted some music. Its sounds like we are going to have plenty of stuff for everyone . I sorry Nancy I don't have any block lifters either.Maybe someone else has some. barbara
I am bringing my rotary cutter and a couple smaller rulers, 2 sewing machines, extra needles. I will check and see if I still have the pack of power strips. Nancy the only risers I have are 2 long pieces of 6 x 6 that sets under the ends of my table. They are a little hard to move...LOL>

Barbara:sorry Nancy I don't have any block lifters either
Well, my major cutting is done, and in thinking about it, I'm not sure we've had table risers at the other retreats, and I've been okay. Not a problem, girls.
Ha, ha, and as I was writing that, Leslie chimes in and saves the day! Do you want a kiss or some chocolate?
Leslie :bed risers i will throw in the car with Bonita, LOL just kidding Bonita
Wait a minute, was it a joke?
Nancy, no i was not joking about the bed risers, i was joking about throwing Bonita in the car with them. I'm not going to throw her but sit her gently in the trunk LOL just kidding again Bonita, you can ride up front with me
Well Leslie, unless you have been lifting weights and I do mean a lot of weights you're going to have a bit of a problem. LOL
