Quilting projects to bring for travelling
I'll be travelling in June and intend to bring along some small sewing/quilting projects to do while on the go, to help spend idle time during the plane trip and cold winter nights. Any suggestions on what I could bring along, that will not take up too much luggage space? I'm thinking of applique tops for mug rugs, coasters, totes. Any other suggestions?

Do you like Redwork? Embroidery blocks travel well and you don't need a lot of supplies. I use the NonSlip hoop, a Frixion pen to trace my designs on my fabric squares, a ball of #8 perle cotton, pkg. of John James needles and my thread snips. If you don't want to travel with scissor ( even though the restrictions have been relaxed) get one of the disc thread snip necklaces.

Tartan .... please tell use more!
(I googled, but found nothing that made sense!)
VivienTan ... I'm another for hexies, though they can be bulky ... plus managing all the little pieces on a plane might make them awkward (almost impossible?) to work on. Embroidery would be a simpler project and yet you could do some really intricate work. If carrying/storage is an issue while travelling, embroidery would definitely take up less space for the time it would take to you to complete the work.
