Applique is very portable. Also, hand quilting if it is a small project.

Try taking some fabric and cutting your pieces. I have a wall hanging that I amhand quilting. I take it anytime we are traveling, even short distances. I would rather fly. My husband won't set foot on a plane, so this helps me pass the time and I get something accomplished at the same time!

I too do Grandmother's Flower Garden hexagons. However, once I took a Cathedral Window and did that. I had the bases all sewn up and just put in the "glass" part. You can also do the bases by hand. Applique is always a good thing as is "redwork" stitchery.

I just started a cathedral window quilt specifically so I'd have something to do by hand either in front of the t.v. or while traveling.

I just started my first EPP project his week after someone posted a picture of a EPP Table Topper. Seemed like the ideal portable project to me.

Aren't those zipper cases just the best?! I got a larger one from a gift of sheets and keep my knitting in there. Have carried piece work to stitch as well. The bags are easy to grab and put in your tote, easy to keep all you need in them. No more losing stuff or getting it dirty.

I do any embellishments that I have to finish(embroidery) to get the quilt done. I rarely do any other hand work. Or I'll finish the binding on a quilt.
