I can't believe I'm saying this....

I totally understand. I am currently on a 3 week vacation in our RV. I was going to bring my sewing machine, but at the last minute opted not to on this trip. Instead, I brought several projects to cut out. Brought fabrics in 3 tubs so I could pick the right fabrics for each part of the project. Strangely, just cutting for projects has really been fun and has filled the void of no sewing.
We stayed the first few nights with our good friends in Redding, CA. Luckily she is one of my BFF's and she loves sewing/quilting too. We went quilt shop shopping, and even got the chance to sew all one day together. When we left them we spent the last week in Bend, Oregon. Also visited a few quilt shops there. While my husband went fly fishing, I did my fabric choosing and cutting! At least I'll be able to get right to sewing when I get home!!
I'm bringing my sewing machine on our next long RV trip!! (I've been preparing my husband for a few years now--he thinks I'm nuts of course!) But we are going on trips more frequently now that we are retired!!
PS I would much rather buy fabric than spend the same money on slots or gambling!

If you get a chance check out the quilt shops. I have a daughter that lives in Reno Nevada and their a a few there I like to go check out and see what fabrics that they have .
Last year I took my machine and projects to work on while my hubby fished a big tournamet for a week. I couldn't sew because the only table area in the cute little cabin was a tall bar with stools. It was just too hard to set up and use my machine. Next time I will take some hand projects too. lol

Oh, I SO understand! We are planning a week-long get away in S. Cal. next week and I am bringing my machine. In fact I bought a smaller Bernina for classes and travel last year. It works out well. Have fun!

So funny - we had friends here tonight to play Mexican Train and one of the gals loves to gamble. I was thinking to myself - 'boring' - if I can't quilt or read, I am pretty bored! I like games on the computer, but have no desire to sit and play slot machines!
