Things that keep me from quilting #4: Too hot!

How hot is too hot to quilt? Well, if my quilting room is over 88 degrees, and I can’t open the window because it’s even hotter outside, I think that qualifies. We don’t have air conditioning, which I’ll never take for granted again once I get back to the States! I’m quilting anyway, as much as I can, it’s just slower since I don’t think my mind can go any faster when it’s this hot. It’s like when I’m driving around (in my air conditioned car!) and I see people walking on the sidewalk, they’re all walking slower. The heat is just oppressive, I think. Time to burn the midnight oil and work while it’s cool, and sleep all day when it’s too hot to do anything else!
