A couple projects

Here are couple projects I have been working on. I started this quilt about a month ago. It is a variation of a 9 patch quilt. My grandma Ricks used to make 9 patch quilts. I wanted to make a 9 patch like her, so I was looking on-line to see how to make them and got the idea to make a Crazy 9 patch quilt. It's very easy. You make the 9 patch squares.
Then, you cut them in half and then cut them in half again and rearrange them.
It's going to take me a while to finish, but I will post pictures on the finished project when I get it done.

For my other project, I got a Gocco printer for Christmas from my Mother-in-Law. A Gocco is a small screen printer. This is my first attempt at printing with it. I made some blank cards. I am very impressed with it. It is very easy to use and works very well.

So cute! I hope she got you a lot of extra supplies to go along with that Gocco.

Come back to work! I miss you!

I have had nine fat quarters sitting on my current-project shelf for at least three months. . . all with the goal to do a disappearing nine patch!

I've never seen one in real life, so please post pics!
