Summer Quilt - Finished! from Quilting Studio Adventures

Summer Quilting is so much different than quilting in the other seasons. Evenings I quilt. Cool and cold days are perfect for sitting with a quilt and stitching. But in summers? No way? Not to mention that my body temp is always 10 degrees warmer than John's. So for several summers I have "summer quilted", meaning that I will hand-quilt a block at a time and then join these blocks using Sharon Pederson's Reversible Quilting method.

Looking Around the Studio from Quilting Studio Adventures

This time of the year that makes me think about what needs to be finished before I start anything else. Many quilters, including ones in my guild, are so good about setting goals for the year and then analyzing how well they accomplished these goals. One Quilty - yes, I'm talking about Laura Hartrich - has even made a quilt of how well she did on one year's goals. While I am impressed, I have no desire to even begin that sort of heavy- duty thinking! With some minor talk of moving and downsizing (no, it's not happening - yet ...
