Julie will be bringing some of her own tools, like her pincushions and pins and rotary cutter. She's going to ship them to me beforehand so she doesn't have to worry about getting them through airport security. The last time she visited me in NH I gave her a quilt top - I had started it, and we finished it together. It became MHT2MEM (Manchester to Memphis). She actually shipped some of her clothes home so she could bring the quilt top with her. Yeah, we are kinda crazy like that.
Did I tell you that Julie has crafted a detailed itinerary of the things we plan to do during her stay? The itinerary includes links of all the places we want to visit. Julie has even checked out the hours the places are open so we are sure to be able to get to see the things we want to see. It's really quite amazing.
What's even more amazing is that we are on Version 8.

Love the bird wing!
My husband has done detailed itineraries for trips since retirement. They prove very helpful. Take one tour and you know the leaflets they provide are insufficient so you add a little when you create your own. Paul's often include maps with the best routes in areas such as national parks, comments from people who have visited places and full contact info where available. Too many places we travel have intermittent cell phone coverage so no looking up stuff guaranteed.
Love the wing on the bird. I actually have an orchid that looks like that. It is in bud now. I usually wind 6-10 bobbins at a time for my sewing.
Plus you won't get everything done. Which means another visit in the future.
That orchid is older than 15 years. More like 20. How do I know, my daughter was working for a quilt shop when it came out and she got a bundle of those flower fabrics for me for Mother’s Day that year. I made a quilt that had a big block to highlight the fabric. I still love that quilt.
I have to say having your friend Julie sounds like it is going to be a great time.
Bobbins wound ahead of time make SUCH a difference! Thanks.
