You know, I realized years ago that our artistic minds do not go on vacation. I am always seeing inspiration in things I pass by on trips. Miss Penny....well her mind is going at 100 mph when we go places. We need a thumb drive to keep up with our ideas! Don't fret that you want to take your quilting equipment!! Set up a "to go" box that has some basics so you can enjoy your craft on the fly Girl. A few fat quarters, a seam ripper, maybe a Singer 221. I've laced leather on I65North and Miss Penny has cut coupons and pieced tops on I 65 South (while in the passenger seat I emphasize). It's all good. Don
