Holiday quilting project

Well. Next Friday we fly off to Canada. (Calgary, Edmonton, Rockies, maybe
Whitehorse). What to do?

I am still HQ my KS star medallion quilt. It is on a three pole frame and I am
a little over 1/3 of the way across. Would it be feasible to baste the rest
and take it to quilt on the plane? Obviously I would have to purchase a small
hoop of some description. Then when I got home, I could roll it, basting and
all, back onto the frame. But would the tension remain the same?

Otherwise, there is DD's bunny quilt that is ready for sashing and I could get
that basted ready to take (much smaller) but I HAD thought to MQ that one, as
it is applique. Each block is a different bunny (like a Sunbonnet Sue but much
cuter imo) and needs echo quilting and in-the-ditch which I don't fancy by
hand.

I suppose I could start something new, but not sure what to do next. I was
going to try a whole-cloth quilt for our bedroom, but what if I fancy something
in Canada?

Any suggestions to resolve this dilemma?

Really do forget to remember to take some with you .
If you are going to be spending a few days here in Calgary , you have to hit
The Fabric Cottage, they have a great staff, and wonderfull fabric's, the
same for Freckle's its a slightly smaller store then the Fabric Cottage but
ohhhhhhh the colors they have. But if you dont wish to do something fabricy
There is always Heritage Park, some of the houses they have set up there ,
have some wonderful quits on the beds, incase you are wondering what
Heritage Park is, its a historical park set in the turn of the century.
I would have suggested to hit the Clagary Stampede but that is over this
weekend. If you have any other questions about Calgary ( my home town ) let
me know and I will help you out how ever I can.

Hi there
I can't help you with the decision but I live in the province of
Alberta, 300 miles northwest of Edmonton & there are some wonderful
quilt stores in Edmonton, Calgary & Whitehorse! (that's a lot of
distance between!)...hope you have a lot of time!
Anyway we have great stores here that you can enjoy & I'm sure quite a
few quilt shows!

Oh definitely! "Forget" to take something with you so you can have S.E.X.
in Canada and have something to do while you are vacationing! Maybe just a
small project for the plane ride over, but definitely something new and
exciting when you get there!
