I love the Bay Area :D

SOOOOOO jealous!!!! no central air here and my husband hates to turn on the bedroom air. It has caused quite a few arguments to say the least!!!! 82 degrees in the shade at 6pm augggghhhhhh

VAL. I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU MEAN :!: :!: :!: I used to be from NH.

It is not a problem here, just crank the A/C down a bit. I would say 99.9% of quilters living in FL have ac :P

Try running a de-humidifier and see if there is a difference. We started using one in the winter and just kept it going and we empty the bucket about every other day. and our basement is almost cold now. Try it and see if it cools the room once the moisture is out of the air.

I live in Arizona (with AC) so I quilt..but our sun is blazing.. so I can't use my patio table to sandwhich my quilts..my friends back east..always say..well it's dry out there..lol..let me tell you 115-118 is HOT..even if it's dry !!!

It is just too hot to do anything. The humidity is awful.
I have to take 2 showers a day!

Ah that is a tough one.

Yeah, it sure has been sticky lately. Wish we could get a break from it without going polar.

I wouldn't want to live without A/C. Got married in 1954 and that year set a record of 45 days of 100 deg temps. No A/C and only one 16" fan. We were tougher then - didn't know any better. Even where I worked didn't have A/C. Lately we've been starting the morning in mid 80s with humidity in the 90s. Just when I think I can't stand it - God allows us to have a little breeze from the north and it tides me over and gives me hope of cold weather soon. I love cold weather!!!!!!

As I have gotten older I have discovered the usually if the weather is too hot, too humid to quilt, it is also too hot, too humid to clean house.

I am with you on that. We live in what we lovingly call,"The Great Northwest!" We don't have severe weather here. Might rain but we seldom have to shovel it. We might get to 100 degrees, maybe three times a year. Humid, yes, but if it is cool out then it doesn't bother us too much, altho we have been known to complain about it if our hair gets frizzy. :lol: Jan
PS: I have been feeling bad for all of you east of here that are suffering so with this awful hot weather.

thankfully i have central air in this hot texas humid simmer!!....so i can quilt with ease, the problem is i do not even want to walk to the car, drive and wait for the a/c to cool the car off, then walk into a lqs to shop, walk back to car, drive and wait for the a/c to cool off car, then walk back into the house......so i have had very few shopping days this summer...boo hoo!!!!!!!

Just live in Florida and you will know what humid is!!!!!!
I have AC working-thank the Good Lord!!!!
But still need fans in every room!!!!!
