I always take projects with me when I travel. We quite often travel 5 or 6 hours on a weekend to see family and friends, so I do hand quilting or hand applique in the car and while visiting. We also go camping a lot and I'll take my latest hand project with me and work on it while sitting under the shade of a big tree visiting with friends. Some of my friends bring knitting to work on and once in a while I'll take knitting too. We're going camping next weekend and I have some new wool yarn that I dyed last week at a fiber arts retreat and it's just screaming at me to knit it into a purse. But I also have a baby quilt that I'm hand quilting (for money) and it needs to be done by June 10, so it will probably take priority.
