The automatic needle threaded is a lifesaver for threading needles in a car. Have fun.

I have a needle threader (the push-down version). I bet that would work.

My DH is a skillful driver - but a very impatient one -

I am one of those that while driving, I think I am doing well if I keep my eyes on the road and check my mirrors often - he is one of those that likes to watch the eagle - that is now behind us - as he is going down the road. Drives me nuttier! Funny how he "never" seems to be able to spot yard/garage sale signs, though.

I knit - just squares in garter stitch - so no thinking involved -
I did a lot of hand-piecing when I rode with DH in the big truck. I prepped all the pieces ahead of time, and then had a "design wall" - a 14 x 14 inch square that i pinned the pieces on to make sure I assembled them correctly.
That block could be assembled in two different ways! Which I realized after comparing some of the blocks.

I don't get carsick - but I do need to stop frequently now - fortunately, DH also has to stop frequently now, too!

Fortunately we are pulling the potty along, bearisgray. That's one good thing about trailers.

Pat is a good driver and he knows when he needs to dial it back. This trip will have a little for each of us (astronomy for him, aliens for me) so it's a give and take. We work well together and we both try to find interest in each other's stuff. Except for baseball. I will NEVER develop a liking for that.

Last year I was doing hexagons for a grandmother's garden quilt. That is done now. This year I am working on the Sycamore Rose quilt blocks. I prep. 2 or more blocks (applique pinned) and I sew the pieces on as we travel. We have such a small RV (Roadtrek) that I don't really have room even for a very small machine. I haven't run into any troubles with the exception of perhaps a stray pin now and then. I have to have something to sew and my kindle with at least 4 books any time we head out.

I have a couple of these and they work great in the car/truck. I make use of the console in the truck to hold all my stuff.

I hand stitched a couple Apple core quilts while traveling. You can use a bigger eye needle for piecing. I just can't bring myself to hand piece something that I can sew. I made too many mistakes machine piecing the Apple core so a perfect project. I'm the driver now, but English paper piecing would be my choice.

I did Appalachian embroidery (18 inch squares) for two queen size quilts. So enjoyed it. I also have x-stitched a set of 12 towels (one for each month) . . . they were really fun! I also pieced blocks for a king-size quilt several years ago. Enjoyed that a lot too. Actually am looking for something to start soon. I read a lot, but I desperately miss having handwork (though I battle carpal tunnel). Someone mentioned getting sick. We live in a rural area and I certainly can't stitch on older (some two lane) curvy roads. But on interstates . . . I'm good to go . . . so far

I do 3/4" Epp hexagons. I love them they are so portable

I can neither read or sew when riding. Carsickness always occurs.
