My forced habit is to work on the quilt that belongs to whatever child or grandchild we are visiting. I can never do much at my home because I am rarely by myself long enough to think.
THEREFORE, when we travel back to the US for our visas each year, I carry one whole suitcase full of UFOs to work on for the various recipients. We try to spend a week with each of four children, and it is in their homes where we do the work and make the pictures too. They like watching each project develop, and we have a camaraderie of sorts with time invested in talking and working at the same time.
