I actually quilt more in the summer. I work for a school bus company and work is not as hectic. Hours are not as long - giving me more time to sit at the machine and sew my heart out.

If I only quilted when it was cool, I wouldn't get much done! There have been many Christmas days that we've been wearing shorts outside. Our heater only runs about 30 days a year, and then not much. My a/c works great & keeps the house cool though!

I make all my quilts between May and December. The last week of each month all my work is done and so I sew and cut at work.

I sew more in the summer because I teach during the school year and don't have as much time and energy. Pre-k kids suck up a lot of my energy. I love quilting in the summer because i get sooooooooooo much done.

I make quilts all year long. I sew upstairs and quilt in the basement where it is cooler.

In the summer I just make tops and save the actual hand quilting until it cools off. With temps in the high 90's and low 100's it is not conducive to having all that material in your hands or on your lap.

It's too hot here so I stay inside where it's cool and just quilt away. Can't go outside and enjoy my nice green yard like I use too, because we are in a drought and minimal watering so our pretty grass is dying and it's been so hot.
Starting July 1, another water restriction. So, it's inside where it's cool and as long as we have electricity, I will sew or be on computer and right here with all you nice people. Love this board. Keeps me sane (well, sort of). Gotta get ready though; off to a quilting class for today. |
