Machine
Scissors
Rulers (6x18 & a 6" square)
Small cutting mat
Rotary cutter
Seam ripper
Thread (3 colors)
Bobbins
That's the basics. Then whatever supplies on the list for the class. If an open sewing day...whatever!! :-)

Along with all the usual quilting equipment, I have found a good pair of sneakers or hiking boots came in handy when I wanted to walk in the hills (the usual retreat I go to is very rural and remote). Also, bring along a good book or few magazines to read. Because, believe it or not (GASP!!), you just might end up not feeling like sewing/quilting for a few hours!!!

Here's a list to get you started! One of my retreat buddies put this together for us, it's VERY handy!

Your favorite quilts for show and tell (if they have that). A heating pad for achy back! I love to take an empty tissue box to set next to me to use for a mini trash can. Chocolate! (I like M & M peanuts!) I always take my thermo mug for diet coke (or coffee). Quilt books and mags for inspiration! Swim suit if they have a pool. And my favorite snips!
