Pink Lemonade...

The new quilt pattern that I want to
show you today is called...
"Pink Lemonade"

It's a square quilt that I made to lay on point across my table for a vintage themed luncheon or a tea party!

Of course it also makes a
nice size wall quilt ...
or would look cute folded
across the sofa...or on the back of
a comfy chair...
or would be a really cute vintagey baby quilt!

The depression glass lemonade set was given to me by my Grandma Crane.
She kept it inside the built in glass hutch of her kitchen since before I was born!
 Grandma told me that it was given to her as a birthday gift by one of her sisters
sometime in the 50's.
I have always admired it and she recently gave it to me before she passed away.
I think it goes perfectly with my
Pink Lemonade quilt!

The vintage dress, hat and pearls...along with the vintage gloves on the table live in the front room of my little cottage!

Her name is Martha and she looks ready for a lovely afternoon attending a 
Pink Lemonade party...don't you think?
