I am quilting MUCH more in the summer. I teach at a university and can adjust my mid-May to mid-August schedule to allow some days at home during the week. I have made three quilt tops in three weeks and quilted and finished a fourth quilt that had been waiting for my attention since ....January. I am just enjoying all the time I have at my machine!

I do some quilting during the summer at home but we do a lot of tent camping and traveling and I don't bring my quilting along. My quilts always smell like smoke from the camp fire and also had a Blue jay that had been eating blue barries drop a load and ended up with a stain on my quilt I was working on. Rather do my quilting at home.

Oh heavens no. I can't find near as much time to quilt in the summer and early fall. Between yard and pool work and then the grandkids halloween costume, I get pretty busy. Really look forward to early to mid October when I get more quit time!

Is it only me or does the nice summer days have you outside more than in? At night i am too tired to try to be creative. I hate to wish for a rainy day, but that's the only way to stay inside and sew. Am i the only one????

I probably quilt more in the summer. It is too HOT to spend much time outside then. And there is more going on here in the winter. It is a ghost town in my neighborhood right now as all the snowbirds have gone.
We have been lucky this spring as it has been cooler than normal but they predict a very hot summer.
