I set everything up then take it outside and relax and sew. Love on the go projects for this time of year. Or small projects.

Nope, don't feel guilty. Got outside today and once I got started, just kept finding more to do. Well, 2 daylilies got planted. Watered pots on front porch and moved them out for the fresh air. Then got to clean the front deck. Sure feels good to be outside. Now for a shower and some quilting.
On nice days qb sews on her deck and I join her.

I live in central Texas, this time of year its usually windy,temps in the 90s and clear skies.
My pieces would be everywhere, I'd be sweaty and sunburned(natural red head).
Therefore I'm quite content to sew inside with the a/c on.

yes I do. so I hsd an outlet put just outside my sewing room, have my patio table out there, and of course, a free machine or two to use outside. for some reason, I still prefer being inside to sew, I do have air cond.

I love sunny days winter or summer, but hate the heat. And here in SW Arkansas it gets very hot and humid. So I usually sew, crochet, compute, etc. in the A/C in a sunny room overlooking a lake. I usually feel gloomy on cloudy or rainy days and don't get much of anything done.

Awww.... to quilt or not to quilt with guilt? No guilt here. If I have chores to do they get done first. A little discipline goes a long way to squash that feeling of guilt. If I have yard work it gets taken care of in increments of time but no more than an hour a day. Same thing with the house. Alittle more time with the cooking. I grew up on a farm and old habits have stuck with me regarding productivity. I am busy and get a lot accomplished but my day is planned, even down time. I take care of my MIL that is 90 years old and has dementia(spell check is needed here). My own mother gets one day a week and it has been a great thing to do for myself as well as for my mom. My dad passed away a year ago. Mom will be 86 in July. I have a large combined family. Together my husband and I have 7 living children and one deceased. With their spouses that totals 14 adults that are now in their 30's and 40's. 19 grandchildren from 2 months to 22 years of age. We have a revolving door. I have always worked, mostly as a case worker. I am now retired but take that retired with a smile. I also watch my newest grandson 2 days a week and a 1st grade granddaughter before and after school. There are many coordinated efforts made to make this all work but it does. I couldn't do it without help and without being organized. I quilt between stuff and after stuff and sometimes an entire day, but quilt I do and I love it. NO GUILT RAIN OR SHINE.

Not really as I will go outside for a while but unfortunately where we live there are so many mosquitoes that you really can't stay out that long even if you want to.

Nope, its already in the 80's and 90's here when its not storming and tornado's are flying through. I am happy to stay close to home. I hand quilt so I go out on my porch and quilt while the kids play in the yard when it's not too hot and the weather cooperates.
