It has been sooo hot n humid here y’all… a few meteorological facts…
- This is the 3rd hottest summer on record for the east coast of Florida!!
- We have had only 4″ of rain in all of June and July!!
- Hydration and cooling off inside in the air conditioning is the ONLY way to survive this heat!!
- July has been in the 100’s in the feels like category ~ CRAZY HOT!!!
So that is how it feels here… but is hasn’t stopped me from making hand quilting progress!!! lol
You see my current quilt stays on a frame in our Florida room which is OUTSIDE in a screened in porch with fans all around.. 4 movable fans and 1 ceiling fan to be precise! lol
Okay enough lol-ing… time to show off what I have been up to on block 7 of 9 on Starlight .. Starbright! Here is a long shot…
And here is a close up of what I have left to quilt before moving this quilt.
I am sooo excited with the slow but steady progress I am making!!!!
Soon I will be moving the quilt around to reposition it for blocks 8 and 9!!! Which is the END!!! Yippee!! I have plenty more hand quilting to do once this project is done…. so stick with me 🙂

I love watching your progress. You make me believe that I can hand-quilt a little quicker next time and keep it moving. It has been hot here also, but I am extremely grateful for my central ac. Keep cool and keep stitching.

you have it hotter than us it seems. we have been in the 90's a lot but we have been getting on and off storms over the month and I have barely had to water the garden this past month – woke up to see it had rained in the night – 1 inch in the gauge. If you are quilting in your outside screened in room with fans going you must not be using a blue wash out pen – the lines would be disappearing with humidity! love seeing your girls!

What a gorgeous picture ID your girlies! I can tolerate warmer weather than most, but I don't know that I could sit outside and stitch, even with fans. It's been just about as hot and humid here (last week we had temps at 98-100 and feels like temps at 110+). That's just too hot for me. 😉

Yikes… I forgot you stitch outside! I was out yesterday for 4 hours and had to rest and nap in the afternoon to recover. Beautiful job… I took the plunge with a little hand quilting project this week but sit in my recliner right under an AC vent.
