I packed in a lot of sleep over my Thanksgiving weekend. That meant I had to pay for it this week. I stayed up late (really late) last night finishing up this Summertime Table Topper for Fons & Porter. Pattern instructions are done, quilt is out the door. I am a happy quilter.
My favorite thing about this quilt is the polka dot blue binding. I think the soft sky blue really brings out the summer-ish feeling for summertime.
Now that summer time is over in the Northern Hemisphere, tell me what you miss the most about the warm weather… or if you are in the Southern Hemisphere, I would like to know what you look forward to about the warm weather.

Love the sneak peeks. I see some rick rack.
I live in the northern hemisphere and I have to say that I am not a big fan of hot weather, if it is warm I like it but no 90* weather for me.
I, too, love the sneak peeks. I live in the Northern Hem. and what I miss most is going outside without a coat, hat, gloves, etc. I’m a short sleeves and jeans sort of gal.
Here in Australia I enjoy summer evenings (with daylight saving) eating in the garden, with food cooked on the barbecue. Not a fan of very hot days, but when the sun is low it’s a lovely time to sit outside with a cold drink while the steaks are sizzling.
Besides the warm temps I miss the lighter later evenings….we are now having sunset at 4:59 PM….yuck!!
I miss the long summer evenings and the beautiful sunsets.
I can tell from the peeks that I’m going to really like this one Wendy. Blessings…
Beautiful table topper. What I miss most is the long sunny days. The last few days have been dreary and rainy. Hope you have a great week. Bunny
You have created another lovely quilt, I’m sure.
I miss being able to walk out the door without bundling up. And I miss the sunshine. I need it to feel good.
You continue to amaze me Wendy – it lovely! Another wonderful quilt! I would give anything to have the cold – its really hot here – and currently there is a bush fire some 90Kms from here. Bad year for that I am told !
your sneak peeks are so fun!! looks like another fun quilt from you. thanks for sharing and have a great day…and get some sleep!
That’s lovely – I really like the touch of black. I MISS SUMMER – I miss the beach – the green – the flowers – the warm breezes. Wah!!!
wow..that’s so lovely..great quilting and beautiful fabrics
What a fun topper :).
Sleep is good.
Watching at your beautiful Summer quilt , Wendy, while we are having heavy snow for the 3rd time in 4 days!!
It warms me up!!
Have a nice day, hugs

I like that blue binding, too.
I have a hard time with the extreme heat in summer, but I love school being out, not having to set an alarm clock, having a lighter schedule.
The fabric are so cute! And the black really adds some zing (and I love polka dots or stripes for binding!) What I miss about the warm weather is driving home from work in daylight (I have to admit, I love the cooler weather best!)
Absolutely stunning. How did God pack so much talent in such a small package.
Beautiful. So cleaver, but your quilts are always something special!
Sorry I spelled that wrong…it should have been clever! Spelling was never my talent!
Love the colors in these fabrics… especially the blue.
Well, it was 24 degrees this morning here in the desert southwest. Bright sunshine, but COLD. The weekend will be 70… still, it’s a wintry 70. I miss having the windows open. But during the 100+ degree summers, I thoroughly enjoy having refrigerated air conditioning! ;-D
Thanks for sharing, Wendy. Have a wonderful day,
Karen
Once again, the black fabric is making the other colors just sing. :-) Lovely!
What I miss most about summer is the sun.
Thanks for the sneak peak, love the blue polka dots too! Your quilting is lovely as always! We had 29 degrees here night before last, very uncommon and today it was 72 so I can’t complain. I’m hoping for a long mild winter.
It’s all the same to me – January to December! I enjoy the rain most!
