I would be calling the nearest quiting store to see if they had a group I could meet with and would someone loan a machine. I am with you start having withdrawals and it does not take me long. Have a wonderful time and happy stitches I hope.

Took a trip to Albuquerque recently to see our son and daughter-in-law. Not only did I take my machine, but also my large cutting mat and all the essentials. I was able to sew and quilt while they were at work and DH was watching tv. She had some curtains that needed hemming and a quilt to bind. DH says there should be a sign on my machine that says "Don't leave home without it". Lol

Whenever I trave the front floorboard of the car has books, magazines, and projects (hand type) that go with me. If I am flying which I recently did, I found I had packed 3 books in the suitcase and 2 in the carry on as well as the crazy quilt squares I am working on. After all I was gone 10 days!:)

Many, many years ago my husband had to be in Oak Ridge, TN for a week. We decided to drive and I decided to take my full-size sewing machine and a small quilting project. I set up in the motel room. Didn't have the car but, as we industrius seamstresses often do, I found a Joanne's within walking distance. Yea!!! That was the most fun that I had on a business trip with my DH and we went to many places. Thousand Oaks, CA, La Vegas, NV, Washington, D.C. just to name a few and there was nothing like that trip to Oak Ridge. Ahhhh. Sweet memories. Have a great time and show us what you accomplished when you get back. Yolanda Wood River

Not to worry!
We often go to the beach with another family and I have been considering asking her if we should bring a sewing machine.
She never has time to quilt and might enjoy us working together.
I ALWAYS bring hand quilting.
I am not much in to TV so quilting allows me to be with everyone, talk, listen and keep my hands busy.
Family assumes I will be dragging a quilt bag with me wherever.
I even quilt while on the road, as a passenger, of course!
