I like wool appliqué, needle turned appliqué, and embroidery projects. Right now I'm hand sewing 1" squares together for a postage stamp quilt. I always have a hand project ready to go!

English Paper Piecing.
I love it. It's portable and easy to pick up where you left off.

DOTTYMO

A good quilt book. Hexi project would be my choice.

I like to bring along a pincushion to embellish before sewing it together. These make great gifts.

I'm glad you asked! There is applique, embroidery (crazy quilting, or otherwise, English paper piecing (such as sewing 1" hexies) and, of course, there is always sewing on binding. I keep a "Sew 'N Go" kit ready at all times for these portable projects. It's a great way of killing two birds with one stone: You don't waste time when you have to wait, and you advance whatever project you're working on.

Besides quilting I like to crochet. It is much easier than knitting. No dropped stitches and only one crochet hook.
Ive done lap size throws for years. But I do have to be in the mood just like quilting. It is still summer so not in the mood to sew at all. To nice outside.

do you hand applique? i am prepping 2 blocks to go with the 2 blocks I have in progress. 2 weeks on vacation with plane rides and car trips! I have 2 knitting projects, hand applique and quilt to bind/deliver! Here is a link to Erin Russek's blog. Look on the right side bar for BOM and free projects. She also has applique lessons too. I have gotten alot of good tips.

I love doing hexagons. there is a tute on Hickory Nuts I believe it's called. I made all finished individual hex's and then stitched them into rows by hand too. then into the size of a small quilt. my friend used black backing that folded over and it looked so much better than the different greens I used.

My favorite is Dresden Plate...cut out the wedges - mark a 1/4" line with a pencil - and you are good to go.

Start making yo-yos for a project. They're small to work on and your material, thread and fabric aren't hard to carry.
