Pink lemonade is my favorite summer drink. My mouth waters thinking about it. -- soparkaveataoldotcom
I love iced tea while I am reading or slow stitching in the gazebo.
A nice cold "cooler", especially after mowing the lawn!
I think the colors are really pretty! Nice blocks! Can't wait to see your finished quilt.
I think that the most refreshing beverage in the summer is homemade iced tea. I love your block.
I have been making "whatever" smoothies - I take whatever is in the fruit bowl, a frozen banana, some yogurt (I freeze the little tubs) whatever juice is on hand, a couple of spinach leaves or avocado - haven't had a bad combo yet.
Love I your block! I am having way too much fun with this quilt (I have two started) and 2 more in mind

Ice Tea... Fresh Brewed Ice Tea...not sun tea. Brewed at least twice a day at our house to get thru the 100+ temps and no air conditioning. .
Love your redwork...just so pretty and inspiring. Iced tea and iced coffees are our favourites around here. Also, love to cut up a lemon and float it in a pitcher of water...so very tasty!

I like the simplicity of thread work in your version. Very nice block!
sun tea is my favorite
I love your work. Thanks for sharing it! On a hot day while working in the yard, there is nothing as refreshing as a cold glass of water.
Good old H2O is my favorite beverage... although I do indulge in an iced coffee when it is really hot and humid out. All this stitch work is making me want to pull out my book on rework and try some.
I love to sit on my porch and listen to the birds in the afternoon with a glass of ice tea. The flowers in my garden are in full bloom. Hummingbirds fly in if I sit quietly. Thanks for a chance in the giveaway. Your blog is new to me and I took a moment to browse. Love your projects!
My favorite summer drink is iced tea (but I do have to have a hot cup of Earl Grey or Earl Grey Cream every morning year around!). Nice block
I love ice tea in the hot weather but drink lots of plain cold ice water as well everyday of the year.

Thank you for the opportunity to win! Your blocks are beautiful!
I love tea and lemonade in the summer, also after I am done sewing a nice glass of chilled White Zin to enjoy!
When it's hot, humid and sticky in Illinois,mi love a big glass of sweet tea, brewed the way my aunts taught me. You put tea bags in boiling water in a pot, take it off the heat and let it sit. Take out the teabags after 5 minutes and put in half a cup of sugar. Pour over ice in a pitcher, adding a little water if it's too dark. Pour over ice in a glass and enjoy!
sweet tea i'm a southern girl
Before I quilt...iced green tea and after quilting fresh mint in a mojito.
Frozen drinks--any kind are so refreshing on hot old Texas summer days. Thanks for this opportunity!
