I quilt less in the summer because I like to spend time in my garden.

I piece in the summer-the window ac is in my sewing room.I quilt if it is not too hot upstairs.I have tons to quilt-have been piecing for months and only quilted a few.

year round for me, have a fan pointed at me and I quilt away. It gets just too hot to do anything outside for me, unless it's going shopping... then August humidity is a killer for doing anything but sew:-)

I do more sewing in the summer because my sewing room is in the basement. Nice and cool. :D

Envy! :mrgreen:

I love quilting in the summertime. My quilter is downstairs and it's much cooler down there than on our first floor!! I'm downstairs a lot during the summer. Winter is definitely the time to crochet!!

Even if I'm not actually quilting I usually have designs going through my head. We had a time period at Market this past week when there were very few buyers on our floor and none at our end of the row. Just had to doodle a few designs on my quadrille pad! Whether or not they actually become a quilt doesn't matter...it was a fun way to pass the time between groups of people coming by our booth.

I sew, quilt all year round. If I am quilting, I put the quilt on the table and go to town. If I am piecing, then I try to keep it off of me. I would go nuts without something for my hands to do. Now I am Hand quilting a wall hanging. I like to hand piece also.

It is usually a toss up gardening or quilting in the summer. This summer is too dang hot to be out (other than in pool) so I have my lawn people during all my gardening chores until it cools a bit., I be inside nice and cool waiting for sprained wrist to heal. Putting projects together for when I get the go ahead to pick up the rotary cutter...lol.

I think it is about 113 degrees here today. I can only exist with air conditioning and ceiling fans. Gardening in this??? not much, and if I do it is at 6 a.m. Quilting? absolutely, because it is too hot to do much else.

During the cooler months I am more active outside the home. Just not now.
