Going Camping

Well, I asked my hubby last night "if I take my sewing machine, will it pull too much current from the electrical box?" We have a small travel trailer and I could set my machine up on the table. He says "no, I'll just run an extension cord directly to your machine...WHAT???? You're going to take your sewing machine camping?????" Like that was a bad thing! Like it's something that has never been done before.
Has anyone ever taken their sewing machine camping with them? Mine will miss me terribly.

When we finally started camping without kids I used to take hand work with me. Then we got our motorhome and DH said quote, " If you take that sewing machine in the MH, I'm leaving." I never did.

sniff sniff.. waaaahhh haaaaaaaa I won't be doing any camping this summer with a small infant!!! Trevor and I loooove to camp and hike and enjoy the great outdoors.
I have never taken my sewing machine with me as it is hard to plug it into a tree (we camp in a tent) LOL, but I think I have taken some small hand sewing projects with me. usually it doesn't get looked at cause we are too tired from all the hiking and exploring we tend to do during the day. By the time we get back to our camp site for supper we are too tired to do anything besides sit by the fire, eat supper and sip a glass of wine :)

My little Featherweight is the first thing to be loaded when we head out in our fifth wheel. We winter in Texas and I wouldn't dream of being without my machine. Course it may not be considered real camping-more like living in an RV. On rainy days or when DH is out on his scooter, I can always be found inside behind the little Singer.

I'll be bringing my singer featherweight this week - Spring Break - we're going to a bayside cabin. I figured I could get in a lot of piecing done. Who know's if it will happen, but the intent is there. Also I know of 2 Quilt shops nearby...
