I had fun reading this post. We are all addicted to sewing & that is a good thing. When I go down state to visit my sister or cousin I always take my sewing machine. You never know when you want to use it. I for one have a hard time sleeping so I sew a lot in the night. I can't imagine sitting there all night with nothing to do. No matter where I go I have something with me to do. If it is just a car trip over a half hour then I take quilt magazines. I don't care for much idle time.
