I sat out on the deck the other night binding a humongous quilt for this winter (combination quilt/bedspread) and it was 97 degrees here and this was later afternoon. I poured me a glass of icy cold Chardonnay from Trader Joe's, dog at my feet, needle in hand and draped from chest to toe in the quilt. Finished the quilt on July 25 and it was wonderful. Now I am starting on cutting out squares for 15 different blocks for a coverlet. Will start that this afternoon - on the deck - with my collapsible table and my tools and, of course, my glass of Chardonnay - just one!!!
I love working outside - only if it isn't windy - I have been known to run into the neighbors yards and pick up a 1/2 square triangle, a 1-1/2" strip. Don't cut out a Log Cabin on a windy day outside! Forewarned is forearmed, you know. Then, of course, I'll never learn. Enjoy the warmth. There is a special place in Heaven for the guy that invented the air conditioner, I am sure. Enjoy the day! Edie
