We have a 5th Wheel and travel a lot. I always take a machine, it is stored under the bed up front where the bounce is minimal. I just piece and quilt when I get home. On long trips of several months or over the summer I make Quilt As You Go table runners, placemats and tote bags. I am working on a twin size QAYG now. We are leaving Saturday and will be gone for 6 weeks. I quilt my tops when we get home.
