I would take a project with you such as hexagons. I never when I went on vacation took my sewing machine with me. Too many interesting things to see when on vacation!

If DH bought something that small it would be to carry my sewing supplies while we travel and stay at motels. Good Luck.

Camping trips for me are a time to get away, even from the quilting. But I use them to explore antique shops for sewing notions and vintage fabrics, and the LQS I find along the way. I usually come home with lots of new fabric for my stash and a few additional projects. When I get home, I am recharged and ready to settle into new projects and to finish those UFOs. But that being said, I have been known to bring along both handwork and/or my Featherweight.

Time to embrace hand sewing. I take some projects along when we go camping. Half the time I end up not working on them but I know they are there when/if I want to.

This will be the perfect project for your camping trip! I embroidered the majority of the blocks for Vintage Tin, another Crabapple Hill design, while in our motorhome. Well, actually, a few others, also. Really like the hand embroidery for travel then do the piecing and quilting at home. Have fun!

We've been camping for 60 years and I'm telling you, you won't care for the little teardrop if you want to take anything with you. They have room for a bed, maybe an outside kitchen, and that's all. You could take a puzzle to work on a mat on the bed, or a deck of cards but the space is so limited. We went from a large tent to an enclosed camper to a motor home and every time we got something different it was to get more space. Good luck!

Now might be the time to take up English Paper Piecing. Very portable, and you'll be surprised how much you can accomplish. I even EPP in the car while DH is driving. Makes long car trips more productive.

DH and I have owned a T@B since 2011 and we LOVE it! We camp probably 30 nights a year (we both still work) and I always have a hexie project with me that I look forward to working on--bright and cheerful modern fabric "flowers" embedded in an ecru batik background. Will probably use it in the T@B when I'm done! We sometimes camp when I go to TOGA's (Treadle On Gatherings and Academies) where the whole purpose is to sew on people powered sewing machines, then I take a hand crank with me and when back at the campground sew on the picnic table. I absolutely love it. I've also taken the sewing machine when DH has to work, BUT there is a huge culture of Rally camping with T@Bs that we didn't even know about when we got our camper and now we are frequently camping with T@B friends and are so busy socializing that hand seeing works better anyway. Look up the T@B Camping Trailer group on Facebook. It is an amazing source of information and community. Feel free to PM with any questions!

Thank you Dbhefner, i am a little worried, we are picking it up on Thursday. Leaving on Friday, I've camp for 65 years. Mom had a picture of me in diapers at camp in 1951. But my husband has not yet done rv route. We travel alot. But to move into a T@B will be fun. We like to move onto the next town, sight seeing. I am tired of hotels and loud rooms next door. Have a few LQS on my list.

I have a friend who has had her T@B for at least 5 years. She loves it and travels a lot. She also attends a lot of rallys and enjoys them. She is a wonderful quilter, very artistic, but she said she doesn't sew when she is traveling.
