Quilting in Camper
 

Not sure I am doing this right. [ATTACH=CONFIG]553411[/ATTACH[ATTACH=CONFIG]553411[/ATTACH]]

I bring hand work when we camp. Going next week and have my box ready.

Well it looks like you are having a good time. What machine are you using?

You look very well organized. I only took my Bernina on vacation with me once. I then started taking hexes with me instead.

Looks just right to me! I love your tee shirt.

I set up my space pretty much the same way. I am cutting out a set of pieced placemats to piece on our next trip (tomorrow!). I like to piece in the camper, but I prefer not having to do lots of cutting.

looks perfect to me, what is the rest of the family doing?

If it's working for you that's all that matters. Looks like a nice cozy setup. Your machine is a ?

The only thing missing is an adult beverage!

Perfect setup! Have fun!!!

Singer Featherweight. Great little machine for piecing in the camper. Nice set up but if I was camping I think I'd want to be outside. I agree that you have to bring your entertainment, tho!

Wonderful! Last trip we took I took a portable sewing table that I'd gotten at an estate sale and my spare Brother sewing machine, a small cutting/ironing mat, iron, rotary cutter etc. I left them there to have whenever we go (our 5th wheel gets to live at the coast while we swelter in Fresno). I will take a couple of bags 2 1/2" strips with me next time to work on 4-patches. I also have a small applique project I leave there.

I also take my Singer featherweight in the camper to sew on. I sew sometimes when my husband fishes or goes on a photo shoot hike or one that is longer than I can manage. I do most of my cutting before I leave home because I only can manage a small mat in the camper. I also do handwork. I have a complete separate box for supplies that I just leave in the camper. It is amazing how many things I can do in the smaller space. I do have to set it all aside when it is time to eat.

When we camp, we use a tent, so I can't take my sewing machine, but I take my hand projects already to sew. My DS and DD are mega basketball fans so we go to tournaments - they watch the tournament games and I sew. The last few times a friend joined me and we turned it into our own personal retreat.

I take my normal sewing machine in my caravan. I sew on half of the table which is 5' in length and 2' wide. I have been known to put it up outside and sew there. I travel with 2 dogs who don't complain or ask for more space as long as they have their quilts to lie on. I do take hand sewing sometimes.

You look very well organised.

You have a nice set up there! Nice to be able to sew when you're enjoying the great outdoors!

It is a Singer Featherweight 221. Love both 221 and 222.

We're going to take a trip to AK sometime next year for about 2-3 months, so I'm making up a bunch of kits in the meanwhile, I'll be bringing my little 99.

Way to go! No matter where you go, you gotta quilt!!! Nice!

Oh my gosh! What a cute set up and picture.

This looks relaxing.

Looks like you're having fun! :)

Love what you do, and do what you love, and you will always be happy. You and you shirt look quilting happy.

Looks good to me.

That s my style of camping!

O My goodness ! I piece all the time at my table in the camper. We just bought a different camper because the old one wasn't very good for my quilting/piecing. The newer camper has a large counter near the table and I will be able to place my iron there and have enough cabinets for all my fabric and notions. I hope you are comfortable sewing the way you are in the picture.

A girl after my own heart. I always take my machine when we go away in the van. Try and take small projects.
At one time we had a film crew following us. They couldn't believe I took sewing away with me and filmed me quilting in the van! Couldn't NOT sew wherever we go!

I used to do that too. Nice for rainy days.

How sweet is that? Love that big ole smile!

I don't camp and probably remember to take everything with me.
You look very organized . Whatever works for you is all that is important.

Ditto. You look happy enough. BrendaK

I think you're doing it perfectly! Looks like a great time.

It looks like you and your FW are enjoying yourselves.

Love the. Machine

Enjoy your portable 'studio'.

You look like you are having fun....That is what counts...

Perfect type of camping for me too! My featherweight always goes with me if we will have electric. Enjoy yourself!

I just want to sew when I camp. No cutting and no pressing. I love my Featherweight bit I use my 301 more while camping. Just more stable. I think you have it "just right"!
