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?

Shabby Shades...another New Pattern!

Hello cute people!...
Did you have a nice weekend?
I hope sew:)
It's time for lots of new pictures 
and another new pattern!
"Shabby Shades"

















This quilt allowed me to embellish
to my hearts content...
I don't know about you...
but I really love a pattern that uses 
all kinds of trims and buttons:)
I even got to use crochet flowers and yo-yo's!

I embroidered the pullchain on each lamp
and on the end of each chain is
a gray crystal bead.
I used Daisy Cottage 10" squares
for the lamps and border along with the
4 solids that come in the line,
Clean White, Pewter,
Daisy Yellow and Hot Pink.
The binding is Daisy Cottage Dots in gray
cut on the bias.
I hope you like my new pattern
"Shabby Shades"
and that you want to make one
for your very own cottage:)
More to come tomorrow!
xx
