    Can't do that either. Something about the imbalance of the middle ear. I can look out & sleep.

    I take applique or hand piecing to the hospital too. Can't stand to sit or lay and do nothing with my hands.

    Yes I do. I quilted a double quilt while riding in a van. This quilt was quilted in 14 different states.

    I do. It's usually applique or redwork. I've even named one of my quilts "On the road to Denver and back" because that was the only time I worked on it. Another I called "In school suspension" because I had to sit with a student who was in trouble and was told I was not to visit with that student and to bring anything I wanted to work on or read.
    (Just to let you know, I did do a little visiting with the student before school got out. Sometimes they need counseling.)

    A friend that gets terribly car sick can knit while riding in the front seat.
    I'm very lucky. I can read, knit and crochet while riding. I've tried hand sewing but it's a little too bumpy to make nice stitches.
