    I usually use a frame during the summer. I also find that I quilt downstairs as it is cooler down there. For the most part, I usually work on hand piecing and then quilt when it cools down.

    I sometimes let the quilt sit on the table. It gets really warm in this house. Tin roof, not enough AC. Sometimes I just have to let it go until it cools down to under 100.

    I live in Florida, so if I waited for it to cool too much I would be in trouble! I jus keep working and try to keep the bulk of the quilt off me..I use a Qsnap hand frame..I have the floor model too, but find it too difficult to work on, as I need to turn the quilt to work..If it gets too hot, tho I may try to find a way to adapt it...One good thing is A/C!!

    i am outside when it 75. if someone asks me to do a repair for them, i tell them that it will have to wait till my outside work done for year, or have bad weather & unable to be outside. then ...it is on the table while using small hoop.

    I hand quilt all year long on a floor stand in the basement where it is cooler and in winter I have a separate thermstat to crank up the heat for that room.

    I'm a sewer, a yard person, and just about everything, else during the day. Of a evening, I sit in my chair, with my 3 guard dogs(ha-ha), and sit and hand quilt.. I'm a hand quilter, and I could hand quilt, from morning till night. I enjoy hand quilting. I hand quilt. all year round. Next to my chair is my Ott light, which helps tremendously.
