They do the car line up at school so I can get 5-10 minutes of stitching in.Deb Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04206921657695916898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-13105746421597583682012-09-23T23:50:31.574-04:002012-09-23T23:50:31.574-04:00Very nice portable project!

I carry my portable project in ziplocs inside a smallish leather bag. All of my pins, thread, etc. are in a small plastic container. Not perfect, but it's functional.audreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18102559813211702736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-4925084447052260582012-09-23T20:09:53.906-04:002012-09-23T20:09:53.906-04:00Pretty, pretty little stitches!

I can never start on a stitchery project in the car until we've hit the main road!! :) Denise :)https://www.blogger.com/profile/07306906507013593208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-26621585172704909202012-09-23T20:09:03.185-04:002012-09-23T20:09:03.185-04:00I love hand stitching and have done it on many tri...I love hand stitching and have done it on many trips on trains, airplanes and the car.

I don't really get car sick but I will get a headache so I usually have to do my stitching sitting still.<br />I do use those zip loc bags a lot for projects.Carrie P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10063988589711911820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-15178472615666744292012-09-23T13:35:05.450-04:002012-09-23T13:35:05.450-04:00I LOVE those embroideries!!

They go into what my husband calls "my bag of tricks" which is really just a tote bag, that goes with me most everywhere, car, bus, work, doctor's waiting rooms, anywhere there are a few minutes to grab to do something useful and relaxing.Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392533321876710743noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-18325779138814744992012-09-23T13:02:19.715-04:002012-09-23T13:02:19.715-04:00Your stitching looks perfect!

Bravo to you, for making a hour long bus ride productive! <br />It's nice to have little totes or baskets to carry "on the go" projects, but I resort to ziplocs quite often... light weight and see through... best criteria. I have a bad habit of losing my little scissors so I wear something around my neck that the scissors can clip on to. It prevents frustrating moments looking for them. <br />Happy sewing!Kindred Quiltshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09283535407728796542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-80448632422530935562012-09-23T11:30:50.474-04:002012-09-23T11:30:50.474-04:00I love your blocks, Kathy.

I managed to resist the temptation to do these, so I will thoroughly enjoy seeing yours :*) I have a Stitchery Keeper that I designed to take my projects with me. So far it is working perfectly. Looks like you've got yours covered pretty well too :*) <br /><br />I'm just getting back from retreat, so no slow stitching post to share today :( Hope to be back next week!Teresa in Music Cityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15650995129191593324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34488264.post-22432162255280784482012-09-23T09:13:34.087-04:002012-09-23T09:13:34.087-04:00Very pretty stitcheries!

They are so bright and cheery, it must make the bus ride fly by. <br /><br />I just started a new project and did pretty much what you did in terms of packaging since I tend to hand stitch more when I'm away from home and the machine. The only thing I do different is I bought a package of "floss cards" at Hobby Lobby, so I can write the color number on the cards and then wrap the cut floss around them so I can keep all the loose threads identified and untangled.
