Iced Tea Anyone?
 
2 Attachment(s)
This is my first tumbler. I was thinking of iced tea while I worked on the top and then decided that I just had to quilt it in shapes of pitchers, and slices of lemon. Since the chalk lines are still visible you can easily see them. I started out by naming it "Thirsty" but then changed my mind. Size is 50 x 55 inches.

Love this quilt! Beautiful colors but the best is the whimsical tea pitchers and lemon slices quilted in. The name says it all!

I love when a quilt is named according to the way the quilter was feeling, things that were happening at the time or just plain reminds of a special day. I love your story as well as your quilt. Thanks for sharing with us!

What fun quilting you did on this. Normally I wouldn't look twice at a tumbler, just not my cup of tea (iced or hot!) LOL but your quilting really made a difference as well as your fabric choices. I am used to seeing you post pics of batiks and squares. This was a delightful surprise from you.
