Me, ham radio - Susan, sewing and quilting. We do our hobbies in the MH when traveling - when at home we have converted an attached two car garage into hobby area (room finished, HVAC, etc.).

We carry a Pfaff Embroidery sewing machine and a Babylock serger. Most of the trunk of the toad and one basement base are devoted to fabric, threads, and other similar materials. Fortunately our free-standing table is strong enough for the big Pfaff. The DW is happy with her happy and that is all that matters.

WOW!! I thought I was the only one. Boy do we get some strange looks when we are out.
We often get other campers approaching us for mending, DW usually accommodates them and we get to meet new people.
I kinda get a kick out of it, she loves her quilting as much as I love my fly fishing so we both have something to do when we're up at the lake.

DW loves to travel through the states because material is over half the price cheaper down there. So we often come back with coach bursting at the seems.
On our trip to Alaska a few years ago we stoped at every craft store along the way. They even had a special " square" to pick up at each store and you sew them all together and it makes a quilt. Got them all!
In Fairbanks there was a store there that had a fly shop so we were both happy!
That's the beauty of RVing I figure....do what you want, when you want, where ever you want.
What a life!

Yeah, my wife hangs a quilt in the front window of the mh, which is like a signal to other quilters to stop and say hello.
