I have tried to stitch while riding, but I feel every road bump and feel like the needle is bouncing around.

I am so envious - unable to read or sew in the car. But I guess it just means I need to either drive or talk with the driver....

I don't get the opportunity often, but I like to applique in the car. I have everything cut out and pinned on the blocks and applique away. I do miss seeing some of nature's beauty that way so I don't do it too often.
