Welcome back to the show where we dive deep into the world of high-stakes packing and heavy-duty quilting! Today, Leslie and Rochelle break down the ultimate strategy for a 12-day European river cruise, proving that less really is more. Rochelle drops some serious travel wisdom, challenging Leslie to ditch the heavy bags for a svelte 28-pound max checked bag. Between swapping out jeans for essential meds and extra outfits, they’re making sure no one gets left behind at the terminal. It’s all about staying mobile while preparing for a dream trip across the pond.

When they aren't talking travel, these two are masterfully navigating the world of custom quilts and upcoming retreats. We get the inside scoop on Leslie’s new sewing machine and her ambitious Summer Sew Along video plans. Rochelle shares updates on her massive 168,000-stitch projects and the excitement building for the Ship Shawana retreat this September. They even find time to reflect on family heirlooms and the art of downsizing without losing the memories. Grab your favorite Cozy Earth robe and settle in for a chat that’s as warm as a fresh quilt!
