If I am traveling my car, or 5th wheel camper I always have a sewing machine with me. The camper carries sewing box, iron, ironing pad etc. The car has the same except for iron and pad. A hotel always had one available if needed. We just got back from a 16 day cruise and I completed 13 charity quilts. All were done except for finishing the binding. I had attached the binding on the front and I always finish sewing the back by hand. I worked on charity quilts for the last three months before we left and filled one suitcase with binding ready quilts to be finished. I took a small sewing kit and filled at least two bobbins with the colors I needed to complete the job. We took shore cruises on three days so no sewing those days. I finished all of them one day before we came to port. I had a "throw down cross stich" table topper with me "Just in case" and I worked on it the last day.
