I did a mix of techniques, which you cannot see in the photo.
So I put my Photoshop skills to use! Don't laugh too hard! The original antique quilt was tied and not quilted at all. I think the ties made it darling, so I added them in cotton DMC thread at the intersections. You can see that by the asterisks. The quilting is the black lines. I didn't think it needed too much as it is a simple pattern and a simple quilt.
I kept that playful bit when I added the pink binding cut on the bias. I wouldn't usually cut it that way for a small quilt but I really wanted the spiral effect. I think it works!
I'm thinking about the first of February I'll add Mr Linky so we can have a lemonade party. I love seeing everyone's version! If you do not have a blog send me your photo and I'll add it.
OK, without further ado the winners of my 500 blog post giveaway are:
Vicky F- larger black and white quilt
Daisy Julz- smaller black and white quilt
Lori-quilted horses- Machine applique quilt book
Lorraine- Brannock Wool applique book
Please contact me with your mailing address and I'll get the packages ready to go out on Monday.
Congratulations and thank you all for entering.
The floss ties on the corners will be perfect with the rest of the quilting (of course)!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to all your winners, Lori.
ReplyDeleteYour little Pink Lemonade quilt has inspired me to hand quilt this one. I have just finished stitching up the corner blocks, so all the blocks are made, but I think that is as far as I will get tonight. Hopefully on Monday I will get the top to flimsy stage. I like the idea of the ties with the quilting. We'll see what I actually end up doing. : ) Thanks for a very fun QAL. I'm glad I joined in--it was my first.
Love the photoshop squiggles. Thanks so much for the drawing--machine applique is something I don't do--so the book will be an opportunity to learn a new technique!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for the linky party...I have been enjoying seeing these little quilts turn up all over the net!
ReplyDeleteoh those LUCKY winners, i'm not green [much] LOL..congrats one & all!!
ReplyDeleteLori, i love your squiggles, they make perfect sense to me! I was also thinking of doing a cross hatch quilting design, ha!!
Hope your energy levels are up again..take care :)) cheers, Marian
Sorry to hear you haven't been feeling well. I hope you are much better today.
ReplyDeleteI love that border on your Pink Lemonade.
Congratulations to the winners.
Lori, I'm seeing so many pink lemonade quilts in blog land! I love the idea of a pink lemonade parade. Thanks so much for sharing with us all!
ReplyDeleteOh, it looks lovely and I adore the binding. Congrats to all the winners of the giveaway.

ReplyDeleteI love the border you have chosen for your "pink lemonade".
Lucky winners Lori!
ReplyDeleteThe little quilt is looking great - and won't take as long as DJ to finish!
I agree that binding is perfect for this little quilt, I look for fabric like that just for bindings.
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winners!

Just got back after 3 days away and am catching up on all my blogs. Imagine my surprise when I see my name on your blog as a winner of the small B & W quilt. How lucky am I. Thank you so much for your generous give away and I love how Pink Lemonade has turned out also. xo
ReplyDeleteI love the binding. I plan to hand guilt mine, too. This is my favorite qal so far. Thanks again, Lori.
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you for doing the Pink Lemonade quilt along. I love little quilts but always put them off to do "more important quits" anyway I finished putting the binding on my PL yesterday and I love it so much! Thanks for sharing the pattern and the inspiration!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. Pink Lemonade was a big hit in blogland! I have enjoyed seeing everyone's versions and cannot wait to see the parade.
ReplyDeleteHi Lori,
ReplyDeleteLove your Pink Lemonade quilt and what you've done to finish it. Definitely on my to-do list.
And thanks for picking me the winner of one of the black and white little quilts! Maybe I better run out and get a lottery ticket while I'm still lucky!

So much temptation in blogland - everyone is following your QAL! Yesterday I did take a peek at my stash and had planned to give in to the temptation. Then I had a phone call and some visitors, so I'm still attempting to resist!
ReplyDeleteOooh, looks great! So great you handquilted yours. That binding is perfect! Feel better
ReplyDeleteFor the longest time I thought all quilts were tied...I still enjoy seeing a tied quilt now and then and I really like your idea of adding ties along with your quilting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners! Thanks for the quilting ideas. I look forward to seeing all of the quilts in February.
ReplyDeletefeel better!
ReplyDeletecongrats to all the winners.
the quilting plan is great.
This quilt is fabulous, I wish I had made this one.
ReplyDeletelove the bias binding with the stripe, I think it's the perfect finish. And adding the dmc ties adds to your piece. Very cute!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to all the winners! I do like the binding on your new little quilt! Have fun quilting it, enjoy your Sunday!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the lucky winners. Lovely quilt, Lori. Not too many quilts are tied nowadays. Feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to the lucky winners!!!
ReplyDeleteLori, I love the way you finished Pink Lemonade, nice binding too! I thought I would get it longarm quilted, but you have sort of changed my thinking about it, ummmm, we'll see!!!
Hope you are feeling better!!
Lori congratulations to the winners. Your quilt is lovely. I too am hand quilting one but find it so hard to stay focused on one project.
ReplyDeleteI love the pink binding. Simple quilting looks just right. I can't wait to see the link up. I'm not sure mine will be ready though...
ReplyDeletePerfect choice on the binding....the bias cut makes it!
ReplyDeletecongrats to the winners! I look forward to the linky party...I'll be done by then for sure!
ReplyDeleteThe binding is perfect, and those ties in the corners are the sweetest idea. Hope you're feeling better by now.
ReplyDeleteCongrat's to the lucky winners.

Cute quilt. Love the binding. Great job on the photoshop. Good idea to keep the original 'ties' in the quilt.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking about the quilting and binding too. I got quite a bit done over the weekend - more than planned. Just missing the corners now to finish the top.
ReplyDeleteLove your binding - I was thinking of stripes too, but I think I need something to tone mine down a little.
Hot dang this came out… well… spectacular. I really really dig it. You've stepped the whole thing up a notch and I guess that can be one of the fun things about reproducing. Just Wow!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to the winners. :)
Hope to get time to work on mine today...it is sitting on the mat next to the sewing machine...waiting patiently! I had to finish a shop model first, now I can work on this darling little quilt...thanks for the instructions!!
ReplyDeleteLoving me some pink lemonade!!! Looks great and definitely has that antique look. Don't think I'll have time to work on one before the 1st but I'll see.
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better.
Hi Lori, My top is now done! I hope to get to quilting it this next weekend. Thanks for a fun quilt a long and looking forward to seeing them all in a group. xo Pam
