The hottest day of the year
and what am I doing? Quilting of course. I’ve never been able to tolerate high temperatures or lots of sunshine. After a bout with basal cell carcinoma and surgery on my face a few years back, I’m even more careful.  My idea of fun on a summer day is sitting in the house in the shade of the air conditioner.
I plan to sew most of the weekend despite the hot humid weather as my DH equipped my bedroom with a portable air conditioner this morning.  Although it does not provide as much cold air as our old window style air conditioners, installation is much easier.
I was able to spend most of the day working on a quilt, aptly named “Summer Trellis”. It is a paper pieced floral quilt I started quilt some time ago
.
The blocks come together easily, as paper piecing keep the seams accurate.
Quilting during the heat of the summer seems to be a family trait. Check out the quilts Andrea and Meaghan are working on this week.

Betsy, a mostly green quilt is on my list of ones to make, as it is a colour I don’t use a lot.

Betsy, I’m making a green triple Irish chain.
Well, I haven’t cut it yet, but I did pick out the fabrics.
