When you plan a Shop Hop and bring the iPad to read QB while hubby drives and tries to find the shops! (Don't feel too sorry for him..he likes to drive!)
AND...when you plan your sewing projects around when company will visit! |

We travel in our 5th wheel most of every summer, starting in late April thru at least October. We usually go to fishing spots cause my husband loves to fish. I spend the winters figuring out and packing what sewing items and fabric I will need while he is fishing. I love our 5th wheel, and I love "sewing/quilting in the woods".

...you spend more time deciding which sewing machine to bring on vacation than you spend deciding on what clothes to pack. (I still haven't decided; I may bring two!) What about you? What gives away your addiction? |
Wow, sounds like we have some serious addictions on the QB !! LOL

Bless his heart, does he have a brother? LOL

I took a portable scale with me to a shop to consume every ounce of luggage allotment. I even left behind some clothing to bring home fabric.
|
I have shipped my clothes to my destination and back again so I would have room for fabric. You can't always find what you need back home. So when you find your fabric you want to keep it with you. As far as your clothes go, you ca always replace them with another trip to WAlmart or wherever.

We went on a cruise over the holidays, and a friend ask me a couple of days before we left, if I had my clothes packed yet. I told her only the important stuff. enough hexie fabric and forms to piece as many flowers as possible and to finish the border for my FG quilt. The night before I packed my clothes.

When you have to buy a generator for you 5th wheel so you can take your sewing machine to sew in the forest and at the lake.

The last vacation we took, my featherweight and current scrappy quilts blocks in progress went with me. My DH finally realizes that sewing quilt blocks isn't work, its relaxing, I've only been quilting since 1988. :)
