I wish I could. I don't get sick but I just can't seem to concentrate. Too busy looking at stuff and helping to navigate.

I am the same way - bandages become my best friends

Some hand quilting I can do. I love to English Paper Piece and can baste the pieces while traveling, but cannot sew them together. I can do redwork, too. I have to have something to do or I just fall asleep.

I have a hard time just riding as a passenger, no reading, no nothing...or it's pull over time. But if I have to ride, I take sliced lemons with me, that helps. But mostly I do the driving...

I do the binding in the car. Makes time pass quickly. Easy to stop and start and not too many supplies needed.

I wish I could do something like reading or quilting. It would make the time pass quickly, but it makes me very sick!!! :-(

You all make me feel very fortunate because I can do this and not get carsick. This is when I work on my GFG quilt. DH drives and I sew. On a long trip I can get quite a few little hexes made. Perhaps there are more of you (my DH included) who get motion sickness when reading etc. in a car than those of us who don't.
