Thread: Is this stupid?

If your DGD is old enough, maybe use some time to teach her to sew!!

not really stupid, but trust me, you won't need it....Four days with family will keep you busy enough!

Love the Oregon coast, but if weather turns rainy and you're stuck inside, you'll appreciate having your machine along. There's some nice quilt stores on the coast too. I wouldn't feel bad doing what you love to do and I'm sure meals and beach walks will still give you some family time. Enjoy.

Not stupid, take it! If you use it great but if not nothing lost!!!!

Four days isnt very much and are you going to stay in your bedroom so nothing gets touched. Leave the machine at home. - J

I agree with mighty. You may find you have no time at all to sew but what if it rains or you have no desire to do what the others want...you can say "I'll just stay here and sew" and no one should feel guilty. It's no different to me than taking a book along to read or now a days taking an ipad and spending all one's time on facebook. Go for it!

Not stupid. When we go to our lake house I always want to take mine but seems my husband can never find a place for it. I can hardly go a day w/out sewing. We have had company for week and I haven't been able to sew, driving me crazy.

Leave it behind how often do you get the opportunity to sit back and enjoy your family. Granted they love your talent but they want you on the vacation not your machine

I totally agree that you should take your sewing machine. It rains alot in Oregon, I know I have lived there and if you are stuck indoors you'll be able to do something fun. Plus you may want some "me" quiet time with out the family to relax. Have a great vacation, can't wait to see what you make.

Sounds good to me. I'd like to got to Estes Park, Co., for a month and bring my sewing machine and some projects. Now I just the need the funds! No one would fault you for reading a book on vacation even though you could stay at home and do it. It's your vacation so vacation as you please.
