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

SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts:

HEALTHY -  It's hot, hot, hot here.  So eating a healthy salad sounds perfect!



I DON'T LIKE - these hot, hot, dog days of summer and neither does Gracie.



KEY - My well used key fob is still working, barely.  But, it still opens the door.


  
PERSON - My lovely granddaughter in a pensive moment.



EVEN - These two ones are even, but odd.



BEGINNING - of making my morning smoothie.



Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts:

BROKEN -  My favorite flower pot of my mother's is broken.  I now have to be more creative when I arrange the flowers. 



ORANGE - roses and oh so pretty.



REPETITION - and keeping with orange, orange bell peppers (so sweet).



HOW I FEEL TODAY - Just like Gracie and the dog days of summer.  


  
FALL - You know Fall is right around the corner when you start seeing pumpkins for sale.



OUT OF PLACE - My fur babies usually lie in their beds while I sew; but, Gracie looks "out of place" on the hardwood floor.



Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

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.

The first 4 are in this picture. It is 10:00 am and in my striped cup are buttons from my mother's button jar.



Getting this quilt finished, finally.



Sometimes you just feel upside down.



I need this coffee; my pharmacist said so.



Have a great week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn
