Bags Are Packed

My bags are packed.
I leave this morning for beautiful Star Valley, Wyoming to spend a week up at Rae Ann's cabin.

There will be 6 of us quilting away non stop.
With very limited Internet access, I'm not sure how much I will be able to post while I am gone.
I will take a lot of pictures and share with you as much as I can.
One of the organizational techniques I have learned from Lori Holt is to have everything cut out first, with each quilt placed in it's own container.

I have 3 quilts ready to go, and my crochet project in tow.
What do you think are the chances I will complete everything packed?

    That sounds so fun! A getaway with quilty friends. Ahh! I always try to have everything cut into kits when I got to retreat too. Saves a lot of time and you can get so much more done. Have a great time!!!

    You girls have a great time. I always bring way to much, but it's better than not having enough. Can't wait to see all the projects.

    So, so, SEW JEALOUS!!! Star Valley and quilting and friends?!? It just doesn't get any better than that! Have a great time, and I hope you get something done...I'm sure they'll be lots of talking, which results in UNsewing, and eating...oh I hope there's lots of eating! xo, Nan
