We're Having a Heat Wave!

Yesterday it was 40 degrees (104F) and today it was 44 (111F) in the shade. It's predicted that the heat wave will continue for at least a week so stitching will be worked around what is possible to work on in the air conditioning. I worked last night and only managed 3 hours sleep today so I'm very grateful that I'm not working tonight as well.

I sat and stitched my 3rd block for this current quilt project. I think I'll call this one "Heart's Desire" and I'm loving working with these colours. I have 2 more hand appliqued blocks to make and then 4 more hand pieced blocks with the black fabric as a highlight. The next block is prepped and I plan to stitch that one tonight until I can't stay awake any longer- probably not long!

 Here's the 3 blocks so far. I'm happy with my colour choices so far.

 I got up early yesterday and pin basted my Mrs Williams quilt before it became too hot. I pin baste on a table tennis table in our shed and as it isn't insulated the temperatures rise very quickly. By the time I was finished I was starting to drip on the quilt but I did get it done.

It's too hot to quilt it now, even in front of the air conditioning but i'll get it started as soon as it cools a bit, or when I'm not so tired. In the meantime I have plenty of hand stitching to keep my occupied.
Many thanks for all your very kind comments about my progress and thanks for stopping by.
Hugs, Jan Mac
