I was just wondering if anyone sews less during the spring/summer when its warmer and you can get out more??
I know I wont be sitting at the machine as much as I do when its cold and snowy out.

maybe a little less in summer for me.

Since I am NOT an outdoor person, the seasons don't stop me from sewing, My crafts have always been my sanity!!

maybe a little less we will see

No difference for me either:)

I sew about the same amount of time, some times even more as I am not so achy :D:D:D

I sew less but do take my machine out on the deck at times. It is under out big maple tree.

Yup, outta here when the sun is shinning-- 15 flower beds, big yard and big garden. Retiring in less than 3 weeks.Hope to quilt two more Kings and piece an asian and an african top.

exactly!

no difference to me. I usually quilt at night. :D

I actually have more time in the summer to sew since I'm a teacher.

I actually end up sewing more during the summer, because I don't have to stay in the house and tend the fire, and I go down to my sewing room a lot earlier, because it's not so frigging cold outside, even though I do leave the heater on low at night during the winter.

Ditto!

I may not do machining, but applique instead.

I sew more in the summer, since I'm out of school then.

I love to garden and play outside! Sewing goes way down in the summer

In the Spring I may sew less because I don't mind being outside working in the flower beds,but in the Summer when it gets hot I will be in the A.C for sure. :wink:

Ditto for me too..:)

I sew a lot any time of the year. It was so hot here last year that it was best to stay inside and sew.

I sew the same year round. Our temperatures here are warmer during the summer but I have a fan in my sewing room. If it gets too hot in the house then the A/C goes on. I don't hand quilt so I don't have a warm quilt sitting on my lap. I send my quilts out to be quilted by a LA.

It probably works out to about the same. I don't quilt as much in Spring and Fall...but when the outside temp hits the 90's and above and the humidity is 100%....I'm inside sewing or reading.

I take my sewing machine out to the picnic table and sew away. We live on a lake in the summer so I get to watch all the activity on the lake too.

I used to spend a lot of time outside, gardening and doing lawn work in warm weather.
My back has gotten so bad I don't do much of that anymore. We are planning a fair sized garden this year and have been building a large greenhouse. My DH will be doing all the intensive work for the first time. I will be doing a lot of canning.
I will be sewing about the same as I do now.I have several projects planned for this year. :D

I sew about the same amount of time in the summer, maybe a little less when I have to mow, but since I work full time, my time is limited all year.

I crochet outside on the porch when I'm not gardening. I sew smaller things in spring/summer and bigger/quilts when I am avoiding raking and shoveling!

homeschool mom here so I sew more int he summer! Don't have to teach the kids and I just move a machine in front of the back window, open it and they can play in the pool. I'm a few steps away if needed and the youngest wears a life jacket.

I do sew a little less in the summer time, mostly because we don't have air conditioning and it just gets too darn hot to mess with anything that involves and iron! ;)

So do I and mow all the lawn and edges of the fields. Between that and grandkids' ball games I'm outside.
Oh, plus it's light outside so much longer.

A lot less for me. When the sun comes out the convertible comes out and we take road trips almost every weekend. We really enjoy our weekend trips.

As I hand quilt, I tend to peice my quilts in the summer and quilt them in the colder days, when I need something warm on my lap.

i work outside all day everyday. so when i'm home, i don't go out. expecially in the winter. just got in and i have ice blocks instead of feet.

Lucky for me, I have a big covered area on my deck with power available. I just take my machine outdoors

I sew/quilt all year around I figure the reason ext.cords were invented was to reach the picnic table 8-)

A LOT less, I confess to liking gardening more than quilting! We also own a business in the horticulture industry so there is no need for me to belong to a forum, I just talk to other folks in the industry. Get TONS of free plants too, many of which I share with friends neighbors.

Unless ... if it's a REALLY hot summer, you'll find me in the AC.

I like to piece by hand, outside. So, summer is much more productive for getting tops made than winter. I also quilt outside, by hand using a hoop, but it is easier inside, in the winter.

Have to start gardening as soon as it starts warming up, usually in March, at least start preparing flower beds.

I sew as much in the summer as the winter. Sometimes in the winter, when it is especially gloomy, and the quilt room is cold, I would rather curl up with a good novel. In the summer, we spend time at a 5th wheel on our property two hours from home. Hubby fishes - I quilt!

I sew all seasons..I don't go outside much in the summertime,unless the humidity level is down...

I do less in spring & summer - love my flower and vegetable gardens!!! Also watching the birds make a home and raise their young.

Well, this is my first year quilting, started in October. But I'm known to spend all daylight hours in my garden if I'm not at work, so it's unlikely I'll get much quilting done after May 1st, unless it rains all summer.
