SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts include these words:  Too much; A treasure; Half; I love; Something white; Give, and Zen.  This is my take on them:

"TOO MUCH"  food for lunch.  But, it's nice to not have to cook dinner tonight. Doggie bag please.

"A TREASURE"  Trudy is a treasure, as is Gracie.

"HALF"  Half & Half for my morning coffee.  I'm not a fan of plastic moo.

"I LOVE"  a good salad, particularly when the weather turns warm.

"SOMETHING WHITE"   at least for a few days.

"GIVE"  These girls give me a lot of joy.  Oh boy, those dogs made it in a few spots this week.

"ZEN" Can you feel the vibe?

 

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

BIRTHDAY BLOCKS

As think I mentioned a while back, I belong to a friendship group that is exchanging birthday blocks. It has been a hoot for sure.  I remembered to get pictures from this month's meeting.

Ellen chose "baskets" for her birthday blocks:

Gayle chose "The Beach":

Mary chose "Red, White & Blue" blocks:

Aren't they going to turn into fun quilts?  

  

Hope you are enjoying your week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts include these words:  Hobby, After, Text, Private, Hand-drawn, Sun-flare, and Leaves.  Here is my take on them.

"HOBBY"  Not much of a stretch I know.

"AFTER"  Just an empty bowl of what was oatmeal.

"TEXT"  Thank you Susan C for this darling embroidery.  I love it!

"PRIVATE"  That lump under the covers is my mini schnauzer seeking her privacy.

"HAND-DRAWN"    Just that.

"SUN-FLARE"  Trudy looks as if she is climbing into that flare.

"LEAVES" My avocado tree hasn't been doing very well; but here comes the new growth and the bees to help pollinate.

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

ROW BY ROW

I joined a row by row on-line swap last year.  There were six of us that participated.  It was just loads of fun.  I really enjoyed the entire process. Everyone picked their own theme and made their first row.  We then mailed by rotation so everyone did a row that would in some way enhance your row.  We also sent along some fabric to use if they wanted.  My theme was "Out of Africa"; my row is the girls.  This is what came back to me in yesterday's mail.

Isn't is just fabulous?!  I love each and every row. Thank you ladies for such a lovely exchange!

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts include:

"MAKE"  a reservation.

"FLORAL"  I love this great floral fabric.

"HAPPY PLACE"  I find this drive along the California Central Coast one of my happy places.

"DETAIL"  on the lid of my new salt box.

"COLOR"    Love me some Lily Pulitzer and all her colors.

"FAVORITE"  My favorite past time is sewing.

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

This week's prompts include:

"PART OF ME"

"OPEN"  I must have a touch of OCD.  This open drawer drives me crazy.

"GEOMETRIC"  I have become addicted to Hexies.  This is going to be a cute quilt block eventually.

"OUT THE WINDOW"  We finally got a little rain early this week. We actually got a little hail; but, I didn't get a photo of that.

"REMEDY"    This brace is just the remedy I need when I work on my hexies.

"SWEET"  Nothing like a dish of sweet berries for dessert.

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

SUNDAY SNAPS

"FIX"  Hmmm; looks like a fix is needed here.

"12 O'CLOCK"  My view at Noon during my recent quilt retreat.

"REFLECTION  Sometimes you just need to pause for a bit of reflection.

"STILL LIFE"    

"THANK YOU"  for letting us hang with you, Mom.

"STARTS WITH "R" - I really was hoping that I was going to be able to have rain for this; but alas no rain so far.  So instead, it is roasted salmon dinner.  Really tasty,  roasted salmon dinner.

I hope you have a good week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn
