I've read about her in some quilting magazine. Neat story especially to be able to go along with DH sometimes.

Oh wow! I love this idea! We've been talking about some long trips. However, we might need a bigger vehicle...like a van with the seats taken out so there would be room for a small stash, cutting/ironing board and a place for some rulers and thread.....Oh the possibilities! If we bought a bus, I could take my long arm! Somehow, I don't think my DH would go for it, LOL!

Laptop sewing machine, hmmmmmm, that would be a Featherweight, right? Nice and light, could mount it on a nice padded board, rearrange the power input, ok, you got me thinking now. It is illegal to text and drive here in Michigan, wonder what officer would say if they pulled me over and I had a quilt going in my Featherweight.

Hmmm. My son has a power inverter. You can get them at Best Buy, etc. It is 400 watts, and is plugged into the ac or dc of your vehicle. They do come with less or more wattage. My son's has 4 outlets on it. We used it to go on a trip and I used the laptop and portable DVD player-plugged them in. Takes very little power, but maybe a smaller sewing machine for piecing etc. would work. Just get a table contraption for your back seat, have DH do all the driving, and you are in business.
