And that is my story and I am sticking to it.....
It really is too hot to sew, quilt or even think....lots of TV today and every quilting program on my DVR will be reviewed again.....
That is why I live in Maine and LOVE WinterLOL. when it's cold out you can just pile on the quilts and or put another sweater and no extra drain on the utilities. Our Summer has been sooo damp and humid. Bring on Fall.
