June is over after tomorrow, Solstice has passed and the days are getting shorter already. And SUMMER will really hit Sacramento this weekend 106 predicted for the weekend.
Fortunately I have lots of inside things to do and central air; if I choose to use it. I checked to see if it works--it does. So far my apartment has stayed very cool by closing the blinds about noon. You know, that old fashioned, before air conditioning way of keeping cool.
I sorted another box of photographs. This project is in it's sixth year and I only have one more box of old photos to put into album pages. Maybe by August 15.
My other pending project is David's T-shirt quilt. I sewed some of the pieces together this week. I have my sewing machine set up until I go back to work. I can eat on my balcony since I bought a little table and chairs set.

My t-shit quilt has been put on hold until winter. I would rather be outside doing stuff. Kind of tired of mowing the lawn, but it gets me outside and I am forced to get some exercise.

I might get back to my t-shirt projects as it is going to be getting hot now. The last couple of days were great -- I pulled weeds and walked around the garden after work last night. And the AM walks were not near as hot as when you were here. STill -- air conditioning has to be one of my favorites of summer.
Now you've gotten my curiousity. I quilt, but have never heard of a t-shirt quilt. What are they?
Wish the weather here was the heat...it has rained solid for most of June. I am glad to see the end of it. although quite frankly the 1 July isn't looking any better!
A t-shirt quilt is made by using all of the T-shirts collected from wherever you collect T-shirts. There are more complicated ways than I use but I cut the fronts out, back them with very light pellon and sew them together. The one I finished is backed by a piece of fabric someone gave me and the bat is synthetic of the lightest weight.
