It's November! Congratulations, John Owen!!

Happy November to you. Here is the corresponding block from my Sunbonnet Sue Through the Year quilt. Isn't she cute?This is what I am really blogging about. My son, John Owen, had a pencil drawing entered in the local art show here at our local Community Center. We went over to see the show and found that he had won two ribbons!Here is the artist displaying his artwork and ribbons. I think he is very good. There is another art show in the spring and he is going to enter more artwork then. Here is a better photo of the artwork and ribbons. He is interested in architecture and likes to draw pictures of buildings or towns that he makes up. He also draws actual buildings that he has seen. He recently did his first commissioned artwork. His school asked him to draw a picture of their school and they are going to frame it and hang it in the school. What an honor!
