Our big vacations are usually a week or so but I don't take any quilting with me. I would make sure the house was in order before we left so I could get back to my sewing machine when we returned and not have to do housework or laundry. During car or plane trips my mind wanders to what I was working on, ideas for new quilts or mini remodeling for our house. Shorter weekend vacations most likely include a stop at a fabric shop.
