well, we don't really have shade here so that's how hot it is on our walks. We drag thru morning walks, and I'm in too much spinal pain by the evenings now to go much more than a mile after dark.
Almost too hot to sew as my creativity nook is over the hot garage. Did I tell you we moved here to evade heat? We had about 3 years in the beginning with nicer colder weather but now it's hot all year.
on to what we were able to do... no beading, no painting, no embroidery but I was obsessed with...
making GGG blocks with my scraps, and enjoyed sorting through my scrap bins seeing them in this new way. I am focusing on Aqua/turquoise, purple, lime, fuchia colors
there are about 140 blocks done
don't get too excited, when they are sewn together this center would be about 40" X 56" so I continued
then..., all the bits I cut off were improv sewn into
groups and strips, then the groups sewn together. I LOVE it. Not sure what it will become or how large
but very few little scraps went back in the color bins
it's similar to my big quilt in percentage of colors too
my snoopervisor has been pleased with my progress,
I realized I need to do a mundane but necessary task of sewing on a replacement button
so the heat continues to increase my inflammation and pain, our AC can't fight the temps, promised relief in form of 80's this week, are now dashed in favor of near 100's. A creative person still needs to make things AM I Right?

Your colorful quilt is coming along beautifully despite your way too hot temps! Our ac can't keep up with those temps either and we are talking 100 degrees and not 124! Wow - way too hot!
Oh my, that's too hot for (wo)man or beast! And they say climate change isn't a thing...how wrong they are!
I'm always amazed at what beautiful things you create with bits 'n bobs!
Your quilt is coming together beautiful. You picked a wonderful color palette for it. I hope you get some relief from the heat. We are under heat advisories today, so I know we are in for another hot one.
Your quilt is really taking shape - and really wonderful colors!! Such awful heat. Friday I visited a friend, and there was a big thermometer on the wall outside the west entrance to her apartment building. It read 122. My car in the parking lot said 108, and it was still reading 104 when I got home 10 minutes later. My phone weather app insisted it was only 96. LOL
Oh that is too hot for anything. The photos of your quilting are just lovely. Stay cool as you can over there.
I agree with Alfie, your colorful blocks are beautiful and so cheerful! I also love the crumb blocks. The pink shirt is very pretty, what a luminous color! Thank you for sharing your creative week despite the heat, take care and stay cool.
The heat has definitely been brutal - my sewing area is warm, too. Sewing little scrappy pieces is the perfect solution to that. I love your little scrappy strips sewn together after you make the gumdrop blocks!
Gosh so sorry about the heat! It's so hard to be creative when you're uncomfortable. Still, you made lovely progress on those blocks! They look so lovely together. Thanks for sharing on my weekly show and tell, Wednesday Wait Loss.

Your quilt is coming along nicely, LeeAnna. It's so hot here too, but not 124!! Our heat index has been in the 106-110+ range. Stay cool as you can and don't over heat. Thanks for sharing with us at Monday Musings. Have a great weekend.
Love, love, LOVE how this quilt is shaping up, LeeAnna! I makes my heart sing every time I see it. That small scrappy bit you are working on looks like fun, too!!!
