Taking a sewing machine on vacation is not stupid at all. My Featherweight and I travel all the time. Recently went to visit a friend in KY and she requested I bring my machine she had a couple of things she wanted me to do for her. It is relaxing for me and if you like to think you could enjoy some time with your machine then go for it. Everyone has their own personal things they enjoy doing and sewing happens to be at the top of my list. Enjoy your vacation and family and you can still do both at the same time. :>)

Not stupid. When we go to our lake house I always want to take mine but seems my husband can never find a place for it. I can hardly go a day w/out sewing. We have had company for week and I haven't been able to sew, driving me crazy.

Oregon coast? Yes, take the machine. There is always the chance of rain there and evenings can get long sometimes. Of course, the casino could solve that problem. Take lots of quarters and have fun!

your vacation, take your sewing machine, tell your family it is your other kid and have to take her along with you, be sure to give her a name
Have fun on vacation!
I hope you find some quilt shops in that area, you will need to buy some fabric while you are on vacation

I have to stop and pick it up (it had repairs done on it) on the way to the coast, so I want to bring some fabric and maybe sew. There is a casino nearby and the beach a block away, but I don't think I can go 4 days without sewing. I really don't have any hand sewing to do. I just don't know if I should bring my fabric and machine in the house. I thought if everyone went shopping or something, I could sew. What do you think? It's my vacation.

I have learned to take independent stuff to do to family gatherings, even if I might not use it. Sometimes everyone but me wants to sit and watch TV. That's not quality time with the family as far as I'm concerned.

Myself I would much rather sew and walk the beach. Last time I went to the coast I yes had my machine with me and found a local group and took a class making mariner compass blocks. So yes sew, quilt enjoy your vacation!
