Sew outside every chance that you get! It's really kind of nice!
I've heard of several quilters that sew on the picnic table at campgrounds while traveling, either with a handcrank or an extension cord. Maybe not quilting, but piecing. The weather has to cooperate, of course.
I wheeled my Consew Industrial outside and sewed (repaired) a boat cover in the alley behind the shop one day. I got a second look or two, but everything went just fine.
