Many times. I set up a table under awning of the r.v. and enjoy the scenery and my quilting at same time.

What's better than showing your grandchildren or anyone of the future generations the art of sewing and quilting? It's something to do "with" them rather than the exclusion of.

We only tent camp but I keep telling my DH I need to find a a propane powered sewing machine to take along. :lol: I do always take a long hand work. Actually I'm handquilting a quilt for my DH that has been on every camping trip we've gone on for the past few years. It's the only time I work on it. Slow going but it's going to have lots of memories when it's done.

when we camp or we go on a trip, I spend a few days ahead of time getting some projects ready for hand piecing and put them in zip loc bags so I don't need a machine. I get lots done without.

we have always camped with no electricity. my friend takes hers and my DH commented i would really be mad if you brought yours. so ive always brought knitting or cross-stitch so i can do something crafty. Last summer we bought a summer home on Lake Huron and he bought me Janome 6600P to use up there. "but i better not catch you sewing inside if it's nice out!" and thats a direct quote. LOL

"CATCH" is the key work here. That doesn't mean you can't do it, does it? :lol:

My husband and I travel with our trailer for months at a time to escape the winter rain. I wouldn't think of leaving my sewing machine behind. I take it on camping trips too. It's a vacation. Shouldn't everyone get to do what they like most?

I have a small cutting mat, small iron, and mini ironing board to make things a little easier.

I know a couple that both love to sew. They winter in Yuma. Went into the MH this winter and they had 2 sewing machines set up! They're thinking of taking out the couch to make even more room!! LOL Heck, yes, I've seen people take their sewing machine. But I'm not sure I'd do it with the grandkids along and only for 5 days.
