YAY! A FINISHED QUILT

I have a finish!  I started this Blue and White Chevron a couple of years ago. I saw this same combination on Pinterest.  Love Pinterest!  A friend and I had got together with the thought that each of us would make one of these for charity.  Not only did we realize it was much more work than we had anticipated; but, I at least, fell in love with it.  So....who knows?

Only eight more quilt tops to quilt.

I hope you are enjoying your week.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

THE END - A Farewell to Arms and June.

RED & WHITE - I love my Fiestaware, especially the red.

SOMTHING THAT STARTS WITH "K" - Krispy Kreme. Stayed on the outside because had I gone inside the doughnuts would have been inside of me.  Sigh...

This week's prompts:

GROWING - in my garden:  avocados. 

IN THIS MOMENT - I am picking out fabric for a class I will be taking.

WHAT JUNE LOOKS LIKE - Even though it is summer here, this is "What June (gloom) Looks Like".

SUN FLARE - This was a more difficult challenge to take a picture into the sun and still be able to see what it is.  Here the girls are checking to see what's happening out there.

DREAMING - about what?  Maybe squirrels.

LOVING - a quiet morning with my breakfast on my new mug rug.

BED - is where I read my tablet in the morning and my Kindle in the evening.

A FINISH!

I have a finish!  This has been in my to-do pile for years.  Usually I quilt my own quilt; but, I have so many I took this into a local long-arm-quilter to quilt. 

It is one of Robin Gallagher's patterns over at Robin Quilts Etc:  Five-Ten-Twenty.  You can use Five one-yard cuts, Ten 1/2 yard cuts, or Twenty fat quarters. This is the Five.  And, it's a great pattern.  I hope you check it out. I bought these 5 fabrics in a grouping sold together at the first Long Beach IQF.  So, maybe six years ago?  It really needed to get done.  Sorry the picture is so washed out.  I have already washed and dried it and it is ready to go.

 

I used the piping binding that I love so much.

 

 

Now only nine more quilt tops to quilt.

I hope you are enjoying your week.

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

QUIRKY - These little quirky guys are in a prominent spot where I can be reminded to See no Evil, Hear no Evil, and Speak no Evil.

HABIT - I know I'm not the only one who has this habit (or obsession) of collecting pre-cuts.

YAY! - it's pinned and ready to quilt!!

HERE I AM - when I should be cleaning house or running errands.

Have a great week and

Quilt happy,

SUNDAY SNAPS

Sunday Snaps on Monday this week.  I've been in Florida for my granddaughter's high-school commencement. 

This week's prompts:

JOY- My girls seem to get joy out of sitting on happy quilts.

DOING - My doing on this day is finishing up my packing to spend the day flying to Florida.

FAMILY - I made this little quilt for my daughter's family when she professed to be finished adding to her family after three children.  Then along came little Noelle.  I bet you can guess which muumuu is Noelle's.

ORDINARY - An ordinary day for this mini schnauzer, Molly (who is Trudy's sister), is sitting on the back of this sofa.

11:00 O'CLOCK - It was 11:00 PM before we finished these graduation leis my granddaughter, Madeline, is holding.  But, aren't they wonderful?

ADVENTURE - My granddaughter, Lauren, just graduated high school. Think of all the adventures that await her.

PATTERN - Love the pattern in this mosaic that my daughter made using a recycled window and broken glass and dishes.

Have a great week and

Quilt happy,

Marilyn

NEIGHBORHOOD- A view to the right.

PET - This is my favorite picture of the girls.
