Sew South Retreat - 4 week countdown

I'm so excited, yet so overwhelmed with what I need to get ready for the Sew South Retreat in Charlotte, NC. The retreat is in exactly four weeks from today!

To Do:
Purchase fabric for four different sewing projects that we will be making in class
Purchase heavy duty zippers for duffel bag
Purchase FQ's for FQ swap
Cut out the PDF patterns that I've received
Quilt sandwich the featured fabric, batting and lining fabric for the Duffel Bag
Order Gutermann's glue
Make four alike items for the sample swap (this I really need help with ideas!!)
Spy on my secret sisters Blog, Instagram, Flickr, Pinterest, etc. to come up with gifts for her
Make something for my secret sister
Purchase fun little items for my secret sister
Pack up my sewing room - sewing machine, serger, notions, etc.
Drive 4 1/2 hours to Charlotte, NC

I hope I haven't left anything off. If your going to Sew South and you see that I've left something off my list, please let me know.

Next Thursday I hope to have quite a few of these items crossed off.

Now I'm off to go shopping for fabric!
