What to Bring to the CBQG Retreat
Tools and Supplies – bring what you need to work on your projects, use the list below for
ideas.
- Basic sewing kit: sewing machine, several extra wound bobbins, rotary cutter, mat, transparent quilting ruler, needles (hand and machine), thread, straight pins, tape measure, seam ripper & scissors.
- Ironing Board - we will share so not everyone needs to bring one
- Extension cord & power strip - the Banquet Hall had a good number of plugs & they provided some extension cords, but you might want an extra one.
- Task Light - the light is good in the Banquet Hall, but if you like to have a work light, bring one.
- Projects - bring more than one, so that if you get blocked, bored, etc you can move onto another project.
- Water bottle, coffee mug, etc for your beverage of choice. Water, ice and coffee
(decaf) will be available. - Snacks – bring anything you want for snacks, keep them at your work station.
There is no refrigerator, so if you bring something that needs to be cooled, bring a cooler.
There is no microwave.
Clothing
- Comfortable layered clothes – the temperature of the room will never suit everyone.
- Dress is casual – shorts, slacks, etc.
- There are walking paths, so bring walking shoes, sunglasses,
hat, etc if you think you will be out and about.
Comfort
- A lawn chair – use on sewing breaks, or even outside on the
balcony. - Music – if you wish to listen to music, please use headphones.
- Chair cushion - for more comfortable seating at your work station.
To share
- A couple of magazines or books (make sure you have your name in them!) to share. When you get bored, it is always fun to look through a new (to you) book or magazine.
- Your sense of humor and fun, spirit of cooperation, helpfulness and patience.
- Your finished piece for this year’s challenge.
Money: Please bring money to tip the staff and purchase raffle tickets!!
