Cathedral window... started it 6 yrs ago after I won a trip to the Daytona 500 and wanted something to keep me busy on the plane and in the airport.
|
I sew strips 3-4 inches long to make sashings for later. Also bring a piece or 2 to mend. That way is is fun not work. Hugs

WoW... There are so many options. I usually take something with me when I go to the doctor's office or have to wait somewhere..... I can't stand to just sit anywhere. I often take an applique block that I'm working on or a red work block that needs to be embroidered. My cathedral window quilt is too big at this point to take with me anywhere but the individual blocks to hand stitch closed or turn inside out works. Let us know what you decide to do.

I'm really liking the idea of putting the fiberfill in them! |
I like to take redwork along with me, whenever I have too much time to sit, I find time goes by better if I am busy working on something, not a lot of thinking involved, I can carry on a conversation. lol (And I call that mulit tasking.)

My portable project is a panel that I'm embellishing with all kinds of embroidery stitches. I take it with me to the quilt group but am usually too busy visiting to get anything done!
|
My favorite is Grandmothers Flower garden. I've been making a huge one for 10 years. I usually only work on it while traveling or at a group meeting. Easy to take with you.
Just don't do what I did one year and left a baggie of completed ones in the back of the airline seat. :( |
I've been intrigued by Bonnie Hunters hexies in progress while sitting in airports and down time travel. Maybe that would be a good one for me. Those of you who do this do you like it?
|
I have a quilt as you go Grandma's Flower Garden. I make each hexagon into a mini sandwich and then stitch them all together.
|
I like to do my cutting when I go someplace. I try to prepare the night before by getting the pieces into manageable sizes and finish the squares or triangles on the go. I have a cutting mat that is about the size of typing paper. I can get a lot done. It feels good not to waste time.
