I take my quilt handwork everywhere I go when riding with my DH: doctor's appointments, Laundromat, shopping, and traveling to AZ in the winter. It gives me something to do with my hands and still be able to have conversation. All those miles are not wasted. I meet a lot of great people as they can't resist coming over to see what I'm working. I get some great tips from other quilters that way since I'm a newbie to quilting.
