QuiltingCandy,
Your daughter needs to get a NEST thermostat. It's programmable through your smartphone. We don't run our AC when nobody is home, but when we start home, we check the thermostat on our phones and turn it on so that it's cool when we get home. Or if it's SO HOT that we know the dog is needing some relief.
I do think it's too hot to quilt (over 100 for the last 4 days), but I'm trying to get my Row By Row quilt out the door to my long-arm lady, so I've been suffering through!! LOL
