    So far, I have packed a Brand Spanking New Pfaff Passport 2.0 travel machine, the cord, foot pedal, and the manual. And one project to cushion the machine. I added extra padding to the under-lining of the TravelPro carryon. I am eliminating more than I am packing :~). I had my FW oiled & packed ready to roll --- then bought this new little guy. I feel like I am back tracking.
    I think I have a few projects organized to pack. Not what I originally planned to take. I needed to buy fabric for the original ones , but life got in the way & I never made it to the quilt shop. I don't care! I just want to get there and de-compress!
    Got laundry mostly done -- and decided what small suitcases I am taking. If it doesn't fit --- it won't go. I'll be begging & borrowing.........
    My gifties, 1 yard of fabric and charms are in the suitcase -- I have a lot left to do!

    Ummmm......I've got my show and tell tops packed along with my scrap quilt samples and hand out sheets. Oh, wait......I never unpacked them from the class I taught Aug. 3 - so......they're still packed. Does that count? They are packed, right?

    I work better under pressure. And I'm off tomorrow, so I'll get some stuff packed then. Yeah....that's the plan....tomorrow......

    I'm more than happy to hand out my projects for others to work on!! I'm more about the number finished...don't guess it matters who does them! lol (just kidding)
