These days it is getting popular to throw unshelled peanuts instead. They can then be picked up, shelled and eaten.<br />The KARISMA chalk marker is a favourite of mine, too.<br />Another of my favourites is the carp quilt. You have made good use of the print to make the most realistic looking carp and the quilting will be the icing on the cake.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-54902088563145909522013-02-12T18:53:08.258-08:002013-02-12T18:53:08.258-08:00Your carp quilt looks amazing, Julie!

What will become of the quilt when it is finished since it is a group effort on the quilt? So difficult with those marking pencils. You want them to mark so clearly, stay there till you are finished with them.. but be GONE when you want them gone. Oh and be perfectly thin dark lines..Where is that perfect pencil???Mommarockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09551129981851834217noreply@blogger.com
