I hand quilt with a hoop on my lap and I have no A/C so I don't quilt in the summer. Plus I have yard work to do. I do sew/piece blocks in the summer. I probably would if I had a large quilt frame that I could put the whole quilt on. It's just so hot and I hate anything over 75 degrees. I keep saying I'll get an A/C some year but it's been 23 yrs since I bought my house and still no A/C :)
