3 books for 2 weeks? Unless you're a very slow reader, you might want to take a few more than that, or plan on buying some along the way. Unless you're one of those unfortunate people who can't read in a moving vehicle.
Clare O'Donohue also has two quilt themed books "The Drunkard's Path" and "The Lover's Knot".
Even if you don't take a machine, I'd suggest taking some handwork. Cold turkey is not a pretty sight!
