After all...we are called Anna & G On The Road. So, it is about time we hit the road again.

The biggest decision to make is what stitching to take along. This may not be G's #1 but it sure is mine!! When planning, I take into consideration the cadence of our travel...are we staying several nights in one spot or is it going to be a new spot each day? I also check the weather down the road because there will be no machine sewing at a picnic table if it is 19 degrees!!! Since we have transitioned into Penny, our van, the answers are even more important. I don't want to be hauling a sewing machine along when there is little chance of a machine sewing session!

But, here is the thing...I know many of you are like me. You break out in a cold sweat just thinking about not having enough stitching along, LOL. I have given it much thought and here is what I came up with for this trip. I brought along my Primitive Gatherings BOM for times when I might be in one spot and can spread out. I did buy the thread pack so there was no need to haul my entire thread collection! I also prepped all the blocks and they are nice and neat, all in one box!

The serious question is what to stitch while traveling? I am blessed in that I don't get car sick. Reading and Stitching are a must, otherwise I am an, "Are we there yet?" kind of traveler! On this particular journey I chose 2 different projects which provided variety, decreased boredom, and most importantly...no lost needles or supplies.

The first one is an adorable pre-printed embroidery by The Good Life. You get a pre-printed piece of fabric, spool of thread, and the needle! You don't even need a hoop for this project...and, by far it is the easiest project I have transported yet!

Next is a Buttermilk Basin kit. I pre-prepped this project so all I needed was a needle and a baggy of thread. Since this project uses either a buttonhole or whip stitch, it is easy to stitch on the road.

Surprisingly being on the road means I get some Wips done! Do you stitch on the road???

Stay tuned and travel along with us on Quilt Roadies.
