OMG, I wish I lived close so I could stand around and gawk while you quilt, I don't have an artistic gene in my body, I have to struggle and usually copy everything I do. I realize I will never be "there" but I'm so inspired by you with every quilt you show.. BTW, what are you marking with? It appears to mark easily and thinly.

As advertised they do indeed glide smoothly and evenly on the fabric but they wear down fast. I completely used up one to a tiny stub and and half of a second one. But then I can go through 3 blue water soluble pens marking a single bedsize quilt so I figured I was still getting a good value. This pencil does not seem to rub out as easily as the white mechanical pencils like Bohn, Fons and Porter, etc. So I think they would be a great tool for marking fmq for a domestic machine as well.

That is going to be one of the most beautiful quilts when you finish it. I love your use of color in your quilting. And the quilt itself is just beautiful even without any quilting on it.

Absolutely stunning!!! Thank you for showing your design marked on the quilt and then the quilting as you are progressing. I cannot wait to see the final quilt but I really wish I could see it in person
