Stitch Along all the Way

We went to see our son on the weekend and in the back of my mind was....."come on get that bag finished for the deadline"  This is not an add for land rover Discovery 4 but ever since we have had this car I have been able to stitch while we travel, before that I would just be car sick if I even tried. We do a fair bit so I am using those hours. On the weekend 13 hours of driving.  Lucky ... now I will make the deadline I hope.




Off we go




A bit to do yet 








Just the hearts to go !



                                       Arriving at the beautiful Bargara Beach Qld.

Lucky to be able to stitch whilst in the car - I can't - though I do knit. (Better go buy a Land rover Discovery 4!!) Pity you cant take your machine along as well.
I hope your son was OK in the recent 'tornado" - my daughter lives there too!

I cant sew in the car so you have done well.

Good to stitch in the car. I am usually the driver worst luck.

Good on you for stitching in the car ... I would if I could, but I'm normally the driver ... and it's kinda frowned upon ;) ... Lovely stitching! I drew mine out the other day - now I just need to find the time to do it! ... But then, maybe my SKoW should be prioritised ;)

I definitely can't sew in the car so lucky you. Tried to write a shopping list whilst hubby drove me to the shops. Could hardly read it when I got there. Hugs.....

We had a Landrover a few years ago and it was like a car to drive. I LOVED it. Unfortunately it cost us thousands fixing the transmission....twice! The second time, my husband decided to ditch it and now we have a Landcruiser. Hasn't cost us a cent but absolutely hopeless to sew in. Way too rough.
