Back home in Massachusetts, my sewing closet was in the basement. We tried to save $$ by not air conditioning that part of the house. There were times I could not go down there at all. I now have a real sewing room with a/c. I am happy that I can quilt whenever I like. Although I do know what you mean by the fall coming, and the desire to work on projects. I love the idea of having several tops done and pinned and then just watching television and doing my hand stitching.
