Going Camping
#11
I'm glad to hear that i'm not the only one that does this. I take my sewing machine with me. i actually made a king size quilt top for a friend in a 33' travel trailer. i have had alot of people ask me why i take mine and i tell them that it is relaxing to me to work on a top and look out the windows and watch the ducks and geese on the water. i also have a friend that goes camping and sometimes she will bring her machine over to my place and we will sew together for hours while husbands are out on the boat.

I have a quilting friend who bought an adaptor for her sewing machine so she can sew in their pickup truck on trips. The cord plugs into the cigerette lighter.
That is either ingenius or crazy. You pick.

My quilting instructor always takes her sewing machine on vacations. While her husband(a motorcycle enthusiaist) goes out riding with his buddies, she stays in the hotel and quilts. Well at least she does after she's been to the LQS's.

I have often thought of taking along a machine while camping - just got back on Sunday from a short trip! I have yet to do it but... one day I will. I'd rather quilt on a trip than sit around and do nothing. I did take some yo-yo's to make while camping this time.. :)

We're going to Texas for a week or two in June and I'm planning to take one of my sewing machines. DH will have a fit again but he's gotten over them before. LOL
I just can't stand the thought of not sewing for two weeks.
