SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts:

"E" - is for Elephants.  My mother's collection of elephants.



"F" - is for Fur babies.  You know they had to get in here.



"G" - Green Groceries.  Kale is the one right now.  I bought a new salad mix the other day:  Asian greens.  Tasted a lot like what I imagine weeds taste like.  If fact, I'm pretty sure I've pulled and tossed some in the past.  



"H" - is for Hair.  



"I" - is for Ice



"J" - is for Jars.  I think I'm obsessed with jars, all kinds and sizes.



"K"- is for Keyboard.  Seems appropriate.



Have a good week and

SUNDAY SNAPS ON MONDAY

This week's prompts:

A little late because I have been away quilting.  


FAVE WORD -  How does one pick a favorite word?  But, this is clearly one of my favorite words.  After all, I hung it in my house.



CRISP - Yum!



TRIANGLE - This is The Triangle at Long Beach State University. It is mostly used for sporting events and is quite an imposing site.



LOUD - My noisiest quilt.  And, a favorite.


  
ANGLE - I'm at a quilt retreat in Mesquite, Nevada.  This is a view from our room, a rather nice angle.



BEST - And, speaking of quilt retreats, they are just the best fun for us quilters!



Have a good week and

Quilt happy,

A FINISH IS ALWAYS GOOD

My "Emerald Quilt" is finished.  I actually started this quilt last year.  This was made for the 2013 Pantone color of the year, Emerald. 



Bears Quilt Shop did the quilting for me. Didn't they do a super Job.  Thanks Vivs.  I think the feathers work perfectly for a Goose in the Pond.



This year's Pantone color of the year is Radiant Orchid.  Maybe I'll start a Radiant Orchid quilt while in Florida.

I hope you are enjoying your week.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SHARING

I have to share a new find with you. 



This goat cheese salad blend is amazing.



Paired with heirloom tomatoes, a bit of avocado, with a little olive oil and balsamic vinegar and a touch of sea salt.  It's like eating candy.  


I hope you are enjoying your week.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

I have had a complicated week and I have an abbreviated version of Sunday Snaps.

This week's prompts:  10:00 AM; In my cup; Stripes; Button; DIY; Upside Down; I need.

Getting this quilt finished, finally.

I need this coffee; my pharmacist said so.



Have a great week and
