red- I just found the thread listing tonight. I haven't sent you a "join PM"....I don't know if I have the proper purples or not. I have a lot of purple since it is my favorite color, but some have white backgrounds.....I'll have to look and if I have enough I will send you a PM then

I just PM'd Red and joined in. OOPs! Forgot to say how many bags I will send. Red it will be 10 again. Just want to say here that a white background is fine with me. I feel like I have too many darks and would welcome the lighter shades.

What city has 119 degrees? But is it a "dry heat" as they say? I was in New Mexico and it got up to 115, and it still felt better than the 103 humid Dallas weather.
Speaking of Accuquilt....I love mine and didn't have trouble with the 2.5" die for the small candy swap. The 5" die catches in the corners of the die like crazy. There are multiple threads that I have to snip on each square. I tried it with different fabric. Assorted multiples, singles. Is there a trick that I am missing?

Phoenix has hit 121° in the past. Yes, it's a dry heat, but when you go outside, it's like walking into an oven. Still beats Florida's heat and humidity! My hubby has an outdoor job and it is brutal. This time of year work slows a little and they try to be done by noon.

I've lived in the desert since the 70's and yes, it's gotten much hotter as the population and inner city has grown. We always joke about it being a "dry heat", but hot is hot, and June is usually the worst month for dry heat! I get my errands done as early as possible in the morning and then hibernate the rest of the afternoon. We sacrifice 3-4 months of deadly heat for the 8 months of wonderful weather, and never having to shovel snow!
Anyway, I only wish that the stores would follow suit and open earlier in the day. I had to get labwork done this AM, and went at 7:00 AM expecting there to be the usual crush. Not a soul. I guess the heat scared them off. I was in and out of there in 15 minutes!
Oh, our all time highest temp ever was in 1990, June 26th to be exact when the mercury hit 122. We fried an egg on the sidewalk at work just to see how it would work. It was a little slow to cook....!!
