Stitching on the Road

This week I'm spending some time with My Girl in Texas.  It's still pretty warm here and projected to stay that way the whole time I'm here. At least the highs are in the low to mid 90's, versus the 100 plus we've had for weeks at home.  We spent Saturday shopping and but spent Sunday just hanging out.  Since we were visiting and such, I pulled out my embroidery to work on and didn't completely set up my sewing stuff.  




My sewing machine is at least out of the case and is setting on the table where I'll sew.  I'll finish setting up today and start pulling out my projects. 




The light blue bag has the bits and pieces of Celtic Solstice and Wild and Goosey.  Those are my two main projects. The Missouri Star Sweet 16 bag has 3 other quilt projects plus my embroidery project.  I hope to work on at least two of the other quilt projects, I doubt I get to the third. 




My Girl has a cutting/ironing table and a design wall we set up last time I visited. So definitely not a bad set up. Other than I'll have to be careful to get up and stretch frequently when sewing at the table, my shoulder suffers when I don't have an ergonomic set up. So significant sewing time may be an every other day thing while I'm here.  




I'm not completely on my own.  I'll have Queenie as a stitching buddy this week while My Girl is at work. 

I'll get this posted and linked up to Patchwork & Quilts, as well as, Sew & Tell Monday, then finish setting up and get some sewing in before lunch.

That sounds like a nice getaway! Time with your girl and time to sew - what could be better? I like the looks of the crafting room set-up - it's especially nice to have a design wall. Enjoy your time there!

Your Bernina machine looks like the perfect size for travel. And your bag...wow! So fun! I understand your pain. I'm taking time off from slow stitching this week due to burning sensation in my finger. Queenie looks like good company.

That was smart to bring a sewing machine so you will be able to stay busy while your daughter is working. Enjoy your stay in Texas!

I bet Queenie was glad to see you! Looks like she has a pretty view. Where did you and your girl do most of your shopping? I like your Girl's cutting table and design wall setup!

It's great that you can visit and also sew while you're there. Enjoy your visit. Queenie looks quite content. She's very fluffy; lint roller needed for sure!

Oh how wonderful to visit, your sweet daughter in Texas. It looks like you are all set up to enjoy some stitching time with a sweet stitching buddy to keep you company until your DD comes home from work. Enjoy your visit, Kate. Hugs.
