Recently, we took a long weekend and visited Lake Tahoe. Our nephew was getting married. We tacked on a few extra days to make it a long-ish weekend. The YM flew in to see his cousin get married. That means we got to spend a few days with him as well. It was really great to have more than a day to catch up and get more of a sense of how our YM is doing.
I wanted to take La Pass with me on the trip so I could work on getting Month 13 finished. Month 14 had been shipped and I needed to get back on schedule. As shown, my pieces were in hearts and cones, so I needed a bag that would keep them flat during the drive and general chaos of travel. I also needed space for my Sew Together Bag and my Inside Outside Pouch, which contain various tools and supplies for La Pass. Eventually, I landed on the Without a Trace/Take a Stand Tote. Since I fixed the zipper and sewed the zipper tab closed, I have been looking for a use for it.
Unlike my trip to Portland earlier this year, travel was much easier with the rosette not yet sewn together. I keep working on combining the smaller pieces into larger sections. Once each rosette is fully complete, it is a bit of a hassle to transport until I remove the papers.
It was a bit of a tight squeeze, but worked. I am really pleased!
Every time I work on my PP Grandmother’s Flower Garden I have memories of sitting in our RV, usually at renfaires in CA, working on it. First it was hand basting. Then it was joining into florets. I always had some sort of carrier that I’d cobbled together for travel.
Just as an aside, we did several of our most favorite renfaires in South Lake Tahoe. It was a two weekend event and we often camped for the week in between and helped with the school kids that came out during the weekdays. You’re bringing back so many memories! 🙂 I hope you’re making memories too.
I love hand project. My EPP Half Hexie Stars are super boring, but a great travel project as they are small and can be easily transported. La Pass takes some organization and everything has to be lined up a certain way. Not so easy to transport.
Hmmm, I could have sworn I posted a comment on this topic! I was saying something like recalling how I traveled to many a renfaire and had my ‘kit’ along to do my PP Grandmother’s Flower Garden project. We traveled in our RV back then and did several events in South Lake Tahoe! Lots of fond memories there. 🙂
I did a lot of basting and later joining of the flowers. I had a special container with dividers in it that was always on the ready, for travel.
ok, that’s weird….after posting the second time, the first post appeared! hahahahahaha Now I’ve posted THREE times! Maybe I should get more coffee this morning.
Yes, you did! I had to approve it, because you used a different email address. Sometimes it takes me a minute to do that, especially over the weekend, as I try to stay off my computer Sat and Sun. Sorry for the delay
