You girls are going to love this, I promise. Now that we are retired and living our dream here in Tennessee we have connected with many like-minded folks who are also retired. But everyone here seems to be from somewhere else.....many from states in the upper midwest, a few from New England and the rest are from various states scattered around the U.S.
That usually means road trips are involved to go visit family a few times a year. Some choose to fly "back home" while others gear up for the long hours on the road as they head toward their loved ones. Recently I came across the perfect way to make those miles go faster. At least it would make the miles fly by if you're a quilter.
And here it is:
Yes, girls, this lady obviously has a very handy....and understanding....husband. It looks like he built this special table to fit inside their vehicle, complete with a drop down for the lucky lady's Singer Featherweight sewing machine. And he even rigged up a system to get her plugged into power so she could sew the miles away! Just imagine how many quilt blocks you could piece as your hubby drives down the interstate for hours on end!
All you would have to do before your trip is prepare your quilt block pieces by getting them all cut out. Then when you begin your trip you could simply pull out your zip lock bag of prepared pieces and begin sewing! I would have loved to pass by this vehicle on the road to see her sewing in action.
Sigh....why didn't I think of this?
Jealous quilter,
Debbie
