On the Road Again...

Quilting while you are away from home becomes an exercise in decision making and packing for travel. We go to Yuma for November, come home for Christmas, and then return to the south for two more months. Adapting the fifth wheel into a sewing room isn't really too difficult as long as your husband stays outside a lot. It's what to take down after Christmas that's the issue.

In the fall, we drive, so I can take pretty much what I want, including my smaller machine. But after the holiday, we are limited to carry on! That's when the crunch really hits. I have to take anything that I forgot in the fall....this year that was my travelling thread case...and then anything else that I need to construct or finish while we are gone.

So...the Inktense pencils...do I really need the larger set? Will I make that second and third in the series that I started in November? Will I really complete that PHD that I signed up with Mary? Will I really work on the abstract that I need to have done for May? How much fabric do I need? What if Gramma Jo's Fabric Shoppe doesn't have everything I need? ( It will...it's a great little store with a lovely selection of fabrics, but...)

Anyway, that's the dilemma I face this week, and we leave on Saturday. The pile by my suitcase is growing to scary proportions.  I wonder if Don will have room left in his?
