I think I quilt the same in the winter and in the summer. Winter time is dark earlier but I have good lighting but in the summer it is my way of keeping out of the sun and heat and humidity. I do not like summer!

I hate the heat of summer. We have had two days of 80 degree weather and that is enough summer for me. If it would stay in the 70's I would be fine. I do quilt year around. My sewing room is in the basement so it stays cool. Like gramacheri says "I do not like summer".

there are summer days when I really would love some rain. Otherwise, I tend not to have the time to be in my sewing room. I have begun to do handwork by the pool, and still do so on the commute to and from work. But mostly, not as much quilting as in the non-summer months.

I quilt when it is too hot to work outside - but work outdoors as needed also - I plan to get much more done this summer than ever though. My workload is less, and so I'm going to begin enjoying my hobby! Finally! Retiring for the second time, gradually.

So far this year I have been spending a lot of time in the sewing room. The weather has been awful. But when it clears up and is sunny I won't be in there. To many other things to do.

There is no such thing as nice summer days here with temperatures in high 90's to 110 degrees and heat index even higher. So I stay in the house and play with all my toys....from die-cutters, screen printer, sewing machines, embrodery machine and more.

Last week it was in the mid to high 90's and felt like 100 and past weekend it hit 100 and felt like 105.

Today I hope it's no more than low 90's and even high 80's would be nice but I doubt it will be that.

As for yard work I have a man employed to take care of this for hubby and I. He comes twice a month in the summer and once a month in the winter months.

I am with you on having someone do the yard work. Hubby and I are to old to be out in that heat here in Florida. 2 years in a row we had neighbors, the man next door the first year die from going out there at 2 in the afternoon and the next year the lady across the street did the same thing,she was out doing the yard work and I saw her drop over and ran and gave her mouth to mouth and got her back. The 2nd time was about 2 months later and she didn't make it.
Be careful out there Ladies and Gents in the heat of the summer.
Have a Blessed day

Since I mostly do hand quitling, I quilt more in the winter than in the summer - it's just too hot to have a quilt on my lap in the summer. However, I am currently working on some charity baby quilts and they are being quilted on the machine.
