I’m spending 3 weeks with family at a lake in the Adirondacks.
I am hoping to get more then usual sewing done and hopefully spend some time outdoors I love the summer I can’t afford to go on vacation so I do a staycation at home with my pretty fabrics an my best friend my machine I will also do the lawn cutting take care of the flower beds keep my granddaughters begin garden growing
My summer plans are limited due to new job working. My sister
Loves skulls and I am making her Lela boutique’s quilt- Pushing up daisies.
So I hope to have it done by Christmas!!
Much of my summer plans are always Work, I work 6 days a week. so little time for vacationing. I will be taking 3 days away from work to go back to my house in West Virginia. Hoping to celebrate just being home. I wish I could say that I’m camping, hiking, fishing, boating, growing a garden and collecting vegetables. That will all come in due time. We are set for retirement in less than 2 years! I’m beyond anxious to stay home – what a wonderful change that will be!
My summer plans are to make a tiny herb garden with sunflowers. I absolutely am thrilled that you are now making tank tops. You listened ‼️‼️‼️ That’s all I wear. I live in Miami and it is beyond hot. Love the design.😊
We are moving from FL to NC this summer and I’m excited to have space to have a sewing room in the new house!
Summer plans playing catch up with everything, as the weather allows.
Oh my goodness, I have been waiting on quilts tank tips for so long!!! T-shirts make very nauseated in these menopausal years, lol! So, I’m very excited about this! This summer I only have one ultimate goal. I want to firmly establish family Sunday dinners. Two of our children are grown now, and all I want is for us to be able to stay better connected in this crazy world. I am doing plenty of quilting projects, so I’ll definitely be busy, lol! I hope we all have a great summer, and that we all make plenty of memories. Happy quilting!!!
My summer plan is to stay in and stay cool. I just don’t do humidity and heat. My sewing room will be my haven!
I have family visiting at different times this summer but I won’t be going anywhere. I’m a wimp when it comes to Georgia heat and humidity so I spend my time in my air conditioned sewing room making quilts 🥰
We just got back yesterday from a trip to Oregon from Montana. I gifted my cousin with a Quilt of Valor…it was so much fun to surprise him!!! The rest of my summer will mostly be at home quilting!!!
Working in my garden, yard, quilting, cleaning out my house to move and cycling. Then we will decide what to do after all that is done.
My siummer plans include watching my grandsons play baseball. I will also be working on my flower garden and of course my quilting. My husband is planning on adding in addition to our house, so it looks like I will be his assistant as needed. Happy fourth!!!
Summer plans revolve around family visits and celebrations and much gardening. Perhaps some travel in late July, still to be determined.
Summer plans are going to Smokey mountains to celebrate 25 years of marriage!! Plus some time at our condo in Mississippi.
Summer plans…believe it or not..i want to clear some house clutter and reorganize my sewing room to be less of a disaster.
And i could use the cool tank top to do it in! Lol. You seriously are so much fun to listen to and very inspiring! So maybe i can actually accomplish some of this!
Love the tank top and the Porch Swing jelly roll! I’m hoping to finish at least one of my UFProjects this summer.
I plan on having fun with my grandchildren when they come again. They love to watch your videos. I also plan on sewing more quilts.
My plans are to enjoy my kids, swim, and finish Millie’s Dresses. 🙂 You signed my book at the Virginia Quilt Museum on Saturday. It was fun to see you in person!
This summer I’ll be maintaining all of my flowerbeds, trough raised beds and floral containers. It’s so rewarding. It’s the first year that I grew everything by seed! We are talking hundreds of plants. I’m looking forward to my first trip to California in August. Excited to help out my Son & DIL with their purchase of an old farmhouse. Always love spending time with our twin grandsons. (Which….I need to finish their “big boy” bed quilts.) YIKES…my summer is packed! Thanks for your informative videos & giveaways.
Our summers are busy with the county fair in June (I am the treasurer for the fair board), with grandchildren coming to visit, with trips to family reunions and for other visits. This summer is no exception.
I am planning on camping with hubby, gardening and spending time with my two grandkids
We have a pool so we’ll stay captioning. Thursday nights are mini concerts on the town green, walks on the cape Cod Canal. I’m always gardening and enjoying my time with the Grandchildren.
I’m celebrating my 40th wedding anniversary this summer. I’m also getting two more grandchildren. So excited. This will make 11 grandchildren so far. This month we are visiting 5 National Parks/monuments. I just love the Parks.
Summer plans include our 40+ person, 3-night family reunion at a nearby state park. Our sons always come in from the Northeast so it’s a highlight of my summer.
We will be traveling to Indianapolis in a couple of weeks, so we are prepping the livestock and properties for our absence. We have a list of home improvement projects to get to (painting, mostly) and we may get some camping done after we get back from IN.
Summer plans this year just hanging out at home, taking care of my garden and outdoor plants, then will have out of town visitors and a trip to see out of state family in September, love seeing the family
Summer plans – going to beach with my daughter and youngest granddaughter, spending time with my older granddaughters, catching up on some scrapbooking and begin making quilts for Christmas gifts.
I have plans to finish some of my quilts. I also joined the ban wagon and have been making micro crochet blankets. The last one was 4″ x 5″.
My summer plans are using the AC to quilt! It’s very hot here in central Texas so this is the perfect time to stay indoors. Vacation happens in cooler weather for me.
Love the quilting merchandise by Kate. This week my family is going to the rodeo and will see the fireworks there. Really enjoy the patriotic atmosphere. I also hope to catch up on my quilting this summer, I have more than 8 tops to quilt and bind myself.
I have two fun trips planned for this summer. First trip we (me and my family) will be traveling to visit my son and his wife and baby girl to celebrate our granddaughters 1st birthday! We cannot wait. Second trip my husband and I will be taking a trip to western idaho to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary!!! We are so excited for our adventure!
My summer plans involve moving into my new house. I’m happy to be leaving the old one behind.
Low key summer, I’ll be able to work on my quilting projects.
My summer plans include making quilt tops for a charity group, helping at two small town picnics, working in the vegetable garden along with a little canning. The tank top is really cute and the jelly roll is a bonus. Thank you for all you do.
Summer plans sewing, outdoors in the evenings on the back patio if it cools off, maybe some grilling.
My summer plans – in addition to my veggie garden – learning ProStitcher software for the HQ Moxie XL, would love to get a few blocks pieced for the 2 quilts alongs I’m doing.
We’re kicking off our summer this weekend with friends at a fishing cabin on the Arroyo Colorado. My birthday is next week, my girlfriends are taking me to mexico for the day, lunch and margaritas. Then i’ll hopefully sell my business so I can FINALLY catch up on my sewing…..
It’s so hot here in South Texas, that tank is perfect for me, plus it’s my size!
For my summer I’m taking my granddaughter to our quilt shops “Grammy and me” camp. She’ll learn to make a small quilt
I plan on relaxing. Last year I had surgery. This year is a distant memory.
My summer plans are going out to the farm and helping clean out my father-in-laws house since he passed away in January. During our break times we will be letting our 4 Siberian Huskies run around with no rules like they have in town. Might do some target shooting or just relax. I do plan to take cross stitch projects with me because I haven’t purchased a traveling sewing machine yet. Holding out for a Featherweight!
Happy 4th of July to everyone!
Next week I am heading off into a hurricane zone for some scuba diving and inspiration for my next Sea Life quilt (i.e. Mermaids) for my granddaughter. She loves all the imaginary creatures – mermaids, unicorns, dragons – whatever flies or sprinkles glitter. It is time to teach her to sew so I will have a fun July and August!
My summer plans are to do lots of quilting and cross stitch with a little bit of travel mixed in. I love the colors of the porch swing jelly roll. Love tank tops when it is so hot and humid. Thank you for all that you share for our hobbie.
I will be in town most of the summer. We have a family reunion planned and a few day trips.
Going camping in Michigan. Such a wonderful state to visit and see my family, friends and quilting buddies.
Quilting buddies we will Sew sew sew! Share quilting ideas too!
Have campfires with somemores yummy ! Go kayaking, hicking , hoped to Niager Falls !
A lot of visiting!😊
I’m looking forward to a road trip to Portland, OR to visit my twin granddaughters who are 19 months old! They are so adorable and I love being their Grammy! I hope to teach them to quilt someday!
Summer plans include picking blueberries and canning green beans. When that’s over I am hoping to enjoy life. Getting back into my piecing and quilting. And staying in the air-conditioning. It’s very dry and hot here in NC.
Im finally getting my painting done on my house I just purchases – I’ll be decorating and unpacking!
Unfortunately, I don’t think the T shirt would fit me but I’ll take a jelly roll of yours any time! My summer plans have been so far watching the grands, and a trip to New York to visit relatives. I am planning a deep purge of my house ( more room for fabric then -LOL), but it may have to wait till school starts again.
Oh no! So sorry to hear this. I will keep you in my prayers 🙏 ❤️
