In Summer Time PROJECT Details
I want to be sure everyone has a chance to own these great irons!
I did a video and article about it HERE
The color differences are
- Yellow & Pink are IDENTICAL except color
- Blue is less expensive, so the 20% off is fantastic. It has these differences
- 8'6" cord instead of 12'
- Stainless Steal soleplate instead of Chomium soleplate
- 8 min auto shut off instead of 30 min with the pink & yellow

Vacationing at Jekyll Island,GA with family and friends.Riding bikes,playing putt putt.taking turns cooking suppers.Going to the Farmers market getting fresh produce especially watermelon.Walking on the beach.Watching fireworks over the ocean.
And only for me a Quilter going over to Saint Simon to the quilt shop Stepping Stones.AH Summer.
I spent my teen years on Lake Norman in North Carolina. Best summer memories I can remember, laying in the sun, swimming and skiing all day long and fishing in the evenings with family. I had a little portable radio that I could listen to music while laying in the sun, that was in the early 70’s. Best music ever!!! A nice summer day with a warm breeze takes me back to those times. Ahhhh.
BBQ, roasting corn. S’mores, bonfires and beach time.
Oh we had so much fun spending the day swimming, frisbee and
any other games that came to mind. Making ice cream using an
old hand crank with burlap on top, neighborhood kids taking
turns cranking and sitting til got too hard to crank and my dad
took over. Playing outside until dark.
After nearly 60 years, summer is still my favorite. I grew up in So California where my parents always rented a house on the beach in July. Memories of roasting hot dogs on the beach and building sand castles with my cousins are amongst my favorites of childhood. Hot 100+ days, long walks on the beach, trips to Bud’s Candy Store for a bag of penny candy and late night bonfires… Nothing better!!
My birthday is July 1st, then the 4th of July next, so summer memories are wrapped up in memories of both of these days. Picnics, and family visits, days free to play outside, lemonade, popsciles..what could be more fun.
My best summertime childhood memories have to do with spending a week or two at my grandma and grandpa’s farm. Grandma taught me how to iron, beginning with flour sack towels and handkerchiefs. Grandpa taught me how to shuffle cards. My uncle would take me with him to round up the cows. He told me not to step in those “cow-patties”, but I stepped in every one! Grandma had a fit when I came home and walked in her kitchen! She still loved me enough to make me some PDQ (chocolate malted milk).
So looking forward to the BOW Summertime…..and anyone who would like to swap with me in Sydney right now is Welcome!! It is over 100F again today…that makes two weeks now..😑 hopefully will be cooler in next few days…have my fabric ready…all from stash….so excited!! 😀😀😀
Also, Pat, how many blocks will we be doing for the ‘summertime’ qal?
When I was young, summer was going to the farm until school started. I loved everything there. As a grown up, we would camp in our motorhome. Sometimes just driving to go fishing, and we camped there in the parking lot. Now my daughter has the motorhome, and it’s my cottage when I go visit.
As a child I went to summer camp and had lots of time to sit in a tree and read a book. As an adult time with family, maybe vacation time.
Playing with the other 16 kids in the neighborhood, fireflies, picnics outdoors at my grandparent’s, swimming, and 4th of July. We sometimes wore winter jackets on the 4th in western NY!
SUMMER! My favorite time of year! I remember playing outside with the neighbor kids ’til dark. Long evenings. Going to the pool, or movies. What delights when temps rose above 100*! Riding bikes, camping, and swimming with cousins, Aunts & Uncles, and my family. Dogs and cats. Making Ice cream, potato salad, burgers and hot dogs, all washed down with soda pop! Shorts, and cool tops, flip flops, pony tails. Beautiful yards, green, and flowered. Bees buzzing. Bird’s nests. Tad poles becoming frogs. Caterpillers becomng butterflies. Catching fish, big or small, to let go, or eat. Learning to worm my own hooks, and how to clean my catch. Feeling proud when my fish were supper. Being warm, and feeling free. Blue skies, sunshine, white clouds that looked like imaginary elephants, or space ships. Picking blackberries, climbing trees, picking peaches, pears, cherries, figs, pomegranites, apricots, plums, and apples from our own trees. Growing a big garden, and Sunflowers. Playing in the dirt with my cars, trucks, and cousins. Making mud pies. Getting dirty! Going to the library with my very own library card. Reading at night. Snakes and lizards. Bugs. The Lake., creeks and rivers. Now, boating, & taking the grandsons water skiing, camping in an RV, quilting, traveling, visiting friends & family, grandchildren, and taking the little great grands on boat rides, campfires, playing in the sand, s’mores, scary stories, eating outside. It goes on and on, for the next generations too! I hope they will be able to enjoy Summer as much as I did, and still do! : ) Brenda King
since I live on Cape Cod here in Massachusetts, the ocean and all the water activities are important to me. Boating, blueberry picking with my grandmother, clamming and eating lots of ice cream and popsicles.
Originally from Florida, summer is so much more important to me now that I live in upstate NY. I love the sunshine, working in the yard, and feeling that warmth! As a kid, playing outside with my friends until dinnet time, picking up Seashells on the beach, picking out shapes in the clouds, and the green color of life!sue Wright
my fav summer time memories:
– spending summers with my grandmother, she taught me so much … miss her! and spending time at the barn doing chores with my grandfather … learning how to take care of all the farm animals …. and of course, the Collie dog “laddie” was great companion and long hair fluffy cat “Annie” used to sleep with me … so cuddly
– camping with my family (mum, dad, brother) at the lake on weekends …. roasting marshmallows & hotdogs on the beach fire pit …
best memories of my childhood summers ….
Warmth! And all the things that go with it, Like not worrying about grabbing a coat when going outside!
Summer for me is the beach, the summer songs from late 60s early 70s and fun on the beach with my family including cousins, aunts uncles a and variety of friends.
awesome!
I love the colors too! My Charity quilt project is at
http://blog.patsloan.com/charity-roundup/
Kayaking! Sitting with my feet up on the deck of my little boat, watching the reflection of the sunset on the still water, and a great blue heron silhouetted against the pink and gold sky, on it’s way home for the night.
I LOVE your colors! I especially love it when you use those cute black and white dots!!! This is going to be wonderful! Is it for Charity or are you keeping this one? 🙂 Thanks for all you do!!
Bbqs, swimming, picnics, staying up late to play outside. So many good times.
So many memories of roller skating, going to see a movie, barbecues, and later sailing and hiking in the forest
Summer is warm sunshine and gardening. Taking RV trips to visit friends and family. And BBQ.
Ahhh…Summer! My favorite time of the year! My family always rented a beach house on the ocean in RI since I was born in 1948. My parents finally bought a small summer place in 1973 and our beach adventures continued. Today I live in a beach community and couldn’t be happier. Any place with a beach is heaven to me!
Summer means Sunshine! I now live in Oregon where it is cloudy most all the time, grey skies are the normal. Moved here from Texas where blue skies and lots of sun are the normal . . .so living here, I REALLY miss my sunshine. Come on Summer!!
So many memories! Camping, huckleberry picking, tubing on the river, gardening, chasing lightning bugs at Gr’grandma’s after dark, family reunions.
4th of July 🎆🎆🎆 red, white, and blue. My anniversary 😊
