I like to hand Quilt while sitting in the sun.
After a busy morning (standing in line at the Post Office is probably the main culprit) my back started hurting. While my DH cleaned out the garage , & installed the new washing machine, I set up in the front yard with a folding chair ;back pillows; and a foot stool & hand quilted. It was 78 degrees, perfect. There was enough light that I didn't need my readers & didn't need to lean over to quilt. No extra back strain!!
I could talk to DH while he worked, wave at my neighbors, watch the birds, laugh at the cats at play... A perfect afternoon.
Here are some pictures of the quilt that I'm working on.
I started it for DFL. Now I do it in his memory.

I have hand quilted and hand pieced while sitting outside at a campground. It was a nice way to pass the time and it was a conversation starter among other campers who were interested in what I was doing, quilters and non-quilters
