Sorry there've been no updates here. June was very warm, but July has been downright miserable. I live in an old house, which means even with air conditioning it can be pretty toasty inside. Days in the 90s with high humidity means it can be completely oppressive, so I've not been tempted to pick up a needle and sit with a piece of linen on my lap. Maybe this weekend as the last couple of days have been slightly cooler and cloudy, so it's not quite so warm. Not sure about you, but I am very ready for August!

I know what you mean - I'm fortunate that I live in a new house with great air conditioning - we've had temperatures in the triple digits for 3 weeks now. Thankfully, the humidity is not too bad...

Susan--Old houses are nice, but not at all practical for extreme temperatures! I would do much better if I didn't feel sticky all the time. However, I should count myself lucky I do have something--imagine living when there was no electricity--no air conditioning and women wore long skirts and corsets. No wonder they were always fainting! :)

I agree, let's hope we get some relief soon! I know our electric meter is just spinning away between all the fans and the small window air-conditioner we have going. Sigh.

Seems like everyone is suffering from the heat lately. I love your new start - have drooled over that one for a couple years but I already did a Quaker sampler in pinks so felt it would be too similar. Hope you cool off soon and feel like stitching again!
