Movin' slow.....

It's been VERY hot here (& everywhere!) and the motivation level wanes under these conditions. Lots of reading (Janet Evanovich, Sandra Brown...) and a little bit of big stitch hand quilting on the LOVE wall hanging. I see I need a trip to purchase some green and blue perle cotton. Methinks it can wait till the temperature drops a few degrees--Like back to the 80's!! ;-) So here's what's pretty outside, where I only appear very early or nearly sundown.....

And one more little African violet whose color is the prettiest, vibrant purple.....
It lives inside with us--the air conditioned couple!! Hope you're all handling this warm summer weather better than me. Really can't wait to open the windows again soon!! Be well, all. And happy sewing! :-)

I'm with you - it's hard to sew when its hot outside, even when I'm inside. looking forward to seeing the big stitch progress.
what size needles do you use? do you get bearding?

Such a pretty yard. Wish I could visit you (when it's cool) and you could show me your garden. Love the LOVE!!

We're vacationing right now up north and oh man I'm with you- it is hot! I'm glad we are on a lake because I'm in it just about all day! Your love wall hanging is turning out great!
