I'm with you. When I see snow, I plan to sew, bake, read, even watch TV during the day. I seem to produce more in winter, but then in summer I turn on the AC and quilt and finish whatever I have produced.

I made adjustments (new word for using my seam ripper again) to my blue string quilt all day yesterday as it snowed here in Iowa also. Managed to make a post of chicken tortilla soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for supper. Wind chill may be below zero here today...maybe I can manage to finally get the string quilt quilted and a binding put on today.

No snow here but it's 20 degrees outside. I spend more time in my sewing room in winter. I have lots of flower beds so spring and summer I spend as much time outside as I can and that means working the flower beds.

I sew more in the Winter. I love to be outside in warm weather though I still get my sewing done. I am in a hand quilting group that meets every Wednesday so it keeps my interest going. We “show and tell” and that puts me in the mood!

Woke up to snow today. Unusual around here so early.

I never used to quilt in the summer. Like others too much work outside. Am now retired and we live in a twin home in our small community. Now I quilt whenever I want. Awesome!

I quilt year round. I live in Florida and the humidity is very high for a lot of the year so I enjoy being inside my sewing room in the A/C. I don’t like cold weather so I stay in during the winter and quilt then too. We don’t have the “cold weather” as a lot of you do but for this Florida-raised gal the 50’s and 60’s is cold for me. LOL

We got about 4" on Monday, but the roads seem okay this morning for my volunteering, just frigid outside! I tend to sew year round in heat or A/C, and attend a local retreat center once a month to keep motivated (I have an annual pass) We travel more in the nicer weather but I tend to read and bake more in the winter, so it evens out.

I quilt all year long but I also love hand work with a nice fire going. Cozy!!!
We ended up with 10" here yesterday. Schools are all closed around the area. I am hibernating for the time being. I can't shovel the snow because of a heart condition unless I do it very slowly. I am hopeful that a neighbor will come over and get me out. Until then I am at the sewing machine making a quilt!
