I quilt year 'round. Combination of longarming for self and customers, piecing tops, designing quilts and now preparing for quilting classes to teach!

I can't take the hot and humidity, so I stay in as much as I can when the temps get to be around 100. Therefore I get to sew and quilt some.

I quilt the most in the cooler months since I enjoy gardening so much. But high humidity brings me right back inside and I do sew all year.

As much as I can year around. I was retired, started back to work today, part time. I discovered I am too young to retire.

I'm with Dolphyngyrl-the heat in july and august takes me out. I stay inside as much as need be and get more sewing done! It seems I can stay up longer to sew in the summer as it is lighter longer, in the winter as soon as the sun goes down I feel like going into hibernation for the night! I am a nurse and work 12 hour days and have zero energy left when i come home from work, so only get sewing time in on my days off.

Quilting is easier for me in the summer- I live in a hot environment and the basement (my sewing den) stays cooler than the rest of the house. In winter, it's brutal though.

I agree. The only difference is my girl cave has heat so when I go down there I bump it up and then I leave something big on the stairs that reminds me to turn it back down!

I'm in school fulltime during the fall and winter, and take only half time classes in the summer. I get to do more quilting in the summer, but want to do more in the winter!

Me too. I'm outside every chance I get. Winters can be so very looong in Michigan so I'm gonna enjoy every sunny day I can. I love summer!
