    We had a couple of Spring days here, but it rained both days, now it is summer, even though the calender says otherwise, and it is too hot and dry to consider sitting outside sipping a tall, cold drink, much less working. On top of it all, we're still getting some smoke from the fires in the Okefenokee. I'm envious of all of you who can set up your quilting tents and tables, and sip your morning Java in your gardens.

    Hope you have a window with a pretty view that you can sit by. When I once had a classroom with no windows, I found posters that were window views of beautiful landscapes and seascapes and hung them on the wall opposite my desk. The students enjoyed them as much as I did. So, if your sewing area isn't near a window, maybe a picture would help.

    What a great day of sewing you must have had. I really enjoy sewing outside. Love your quilt.

    I opened every window in my studio! It was almost as good as sewing outside. :)

    I would like to be able to quilt outside, but it was 100 degrees out today.

    Pretty quilt - nice hubby! Looks fun to sew outside.
    I'd be covered with mosquitoes if I set my machine up outside. As it is, I can hardly stand to tend the garden & flowers we have so many mosquitoes right now - probably from our rainy spring - lots of breeding grounds (water) for the little buggers.

    We used to set our frames on the screened in porch and sew away. Its so refreshing. Glad you finished that beautiful quilt for you DH. I appreciate my Dh also. It is so beautifully done.
