Good suggestions. I've taken along yo-yos, cathedral window, and spinning color wheel to hand sew during my wait times. You could also do applique, embroidery, or make a crazy quilt. When I first learned about quilting, the lady was quilting a postage stamp quilt for a pastor's wife. The pastor's wife had taken all those little squares where ever they went and would work on them while he had his meetings.

Embroidery seems to be the rage of late , redwork etc. See them more and more incorporated into quilts !!

Ahhhh so many ideas, but I can't imagine how to do them. Time to look at You Tube. Lol

I like to do rework when I am on a road trip or waiting for something. The pattern is already there for you and you only have one color thread.

I take along a plastic zip lock with needle, thread, and TONS of 1 1/2" squares of fabric. Sew them together...you'll be amazed how fast you'll have either blocks to add to a quilt or enough for a full quilt!
I cut a lot of scrap fabric into 5 inch strips and used the Dresden Plate template to cut them out. I started handsewing them at camp last summer and had a quilt in a short time!!!! |

Good luck. |
