March Scavenger Hunt

March Scavenger Hunt 

Circle

Circle of Flying Geese on a quilt top I'm making about Washington state - with Mt. Baker - viewed from Lummi Penninsula


Card
Birthday card from my dear friend Diane


Window
 Old Window
New Window


Art
One of several pieces of Native American wood art hanging from the ceiling of U.W. Harborview Medical Center main lobby in Seattle
Skyline


Skyline at Birch Bay


A favorite word
Spring is a favorite word - and the lilacs are budding out - blooming soon


Movement

The movement of the small boat as compared to the movement of the Washington State Ferry

Bathroom

The beautiful new lights our son put up in the master bathroom - replacing the ugly make-up lights that were original to the house


Car
I obviously didn't take this photo - it is my Grandfather on the steps of the trolley where he was the conductor in San Francisco

Plate

A set of hand painted dessert pates


Some thing you made

My friend Lois - in California - drew the pictures of the teddy bears (one for each month) and I designed and made the quilt - we made a pattern for the quilt that is for sale

Whatever you want
End tables that I decoupaged nautical charts to the drawers - the handle is an old faucet knob - from Etsy.  These are in our living room

    What a wonderful array of photos. So many excellent creative pieces that you have made or designed. How special to have the photo of your grandfather ... it's a treasure indeed. You are a most creative and talented person! Do you also make all the clothes for your dolls? Your lilacs are much further along than ours.

    My great grandfather worked in San Francisco. His family, including my grandmother, lived across the bay in Oakland. When the 1906 earthquake hit, he couldn't get home for days and they didn't know if he was dead or alive. Later they moved to Glendale, California, where he became head chef at the Glendale Sanitarium, which later became the Glendale Hospital. I have a copy of the cookbook he published in about 1912.

    The quilt is beautiful....so much detail! I love red work! And what a neat old photo of your Grandfather. I feel like I could walk into the photo and go back in time. Enjoy your day my friend. My embroidery kits finally came yesterday so I'm going to see if I still remember how to embroidery! haha! Sweet hugs, Diane

    Window views are always enjoyable, looking in and looking out. All your photos are fun, it was like reading a story in photo chapters!

    What an interesting post. I love the red work quilt. It's really beautiful. And your decoupaged end table is so neat with the faucet handle. Have a great day!

    Love the Lilac, Movement and Skyline... (anything with blue sky, we've had so little for the last few months!) Your quilts are amazing, what a talent you have.

    I so enjoyed looking at your pictures and creations that you made. It makes me homesick for my native state of Washington. Sending you wishes from California :)

    Great photos! I'm especially taken with the SF trolley (not all that much older than the ones I rode as a teenager!). That's quite a step up, isn't it? And your bear quilt is darling. I hope we'll see the Washington one you're making, too. The old window shot is very nice.
    (BTW, I did get down on the ground for the newt shot I posted. I couldn't resist getting eye-to-eye. And yes, I can't say I was very graceful getting back up!)

    Love the quilts! Your state block really captures the movement of geese against the soft, commanding presence of the mountain. Your applique is so well done that I thought the block was painted fabric! Beautiful combination!
    And I always gravitate to red and white quilts - just something about how bold and sassy they are!

    Your spectacular header took my breath away! I think that it is one of the most beautiful I have seen in the blogging world! And your hunt photos were fun to see and read about. You are a talented quilter for sure. My favorite photo has to be that of your grandfather. I am fascinated with old photos, and I can't help wondering about the lives and stories of the people in them. Thank you for sharing it! Happy Easter, JoAnn.

    I enjoyed all your choices, but you touched my heart with the lilacs. They so remind me of Mother's Day as that is about the time they bloomed in Minnesota. My mother and I would wear them as corsages when we went to church - she white for her mother not living. Me, the purple.

    I can't grow them in Texas as it is too hot for them. I would have many of them if I could. Enjoyed your seeing your hunt.
