My wife is a big quilter but only brings her Singer Weather Weight if we are going to be in one spot for a few days for one of my events she is not interested in. Then she brings mostly precut materials for lap quilts or other smaller projects. We travel in a 19' B so not a lot of extra room on most trips. Most of our trips are road trip and never stay in one place for more than a night. We do have an agreement, we stop at any quilt shops she sees, either as we go by or on her iPad she wants as we travel and all car museums or other interesting spots I find. We can usually find enough space for the fabric and other things she buys, but mostly she just wants to look and feel fabric as often as possible. The best fabric shops have a husband corner with good chairs, coffee and free WiFi. We have done Paducah, KY, I luckily have a car friend in Paducah, so I dropped her off and told her to call when she was done with the museum and exploring downtown and I went spent the day with my friend.
