My first two nine-patch blocks and my daughter's drawing.

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well. I made my first two blocks for the 9-patch quilt along with Crazy Mom Quilts. I'm using left over fabric from other quilts. This is going to be a scrappy quilt. Which is my favorite style of quilts. I'm using darker, warmer fabrics, because that's what I have. They don't sell a lot of those modern colorful prints her in Canada. I'm going to have to order online to get those. I really like warm colors though. They suit me just fine. I made them both this morning. I worked yesterday, and I was beat when I got home. Today I have to work evening shift, so I thought I'd get them done this morning. I really like how quickly they come together. So, I'm going to have fun making this one.

On another note, yesterday I let my kids use the craft kit my mom gave us when we went to visit them a few weeks ago. It's a nice kit with oil paints, watercolor paints, watercolor pencils, about 30 professional brushes, a bunch of sketch books, and three different kinds of pastels. These are all artist quality items, and are very expensive. But the kids needed something different to do, so I let them use the pastels. They each made two or three pictures. They were very nice. My daughter kept going back to make more pictures. She made about 7 pictures. The last one she made was of a dogs face. It's so nice. I almost couldn't believe she made it. She was sitting at the table, working so hard on it, blending the colors. I thought I should show it to you. Isn't it cute. Well, I have to go. I hope you all have a great day.

Happy Stitching!!
