Nothing quilt related is stupid! I did the same thing once - spent a week at a beach house with hubby, our daughter, spouse and their son. Found a sweet fabric panel with Koi and some coordinating pieces for borders. tucked in my Featherweight and a basket of basic tools. On a cloudy afternoon, the little guy was napping, so I stayed in while they went off for some couple time. DH just hung out, and I pieced together a lovely little wallhanging. Stopped off at nearby JoAnn's for batting when we went out for food, and hand quilted it as I relaxed during the week. My other daughter, who lived nearby, immediately claimed it for her office, and it became a special memory for me along with our beach walks, kayaking, and other vacation activities. Always good to be prepared! Enjoy your vacation guilt-free, but not quilt-free!
