I did some in the ditch quilting on the Hollyhock quilt. Are any of you familiar with this foot that I used?
I don't know if it is a sewing "in the ditch" foot, but I used it for that.
It worked out really well!!!
It worked out really well!!!
My friend Pg recommended that I should do a fairly good amount of quilting in the borders, as I did in the body of the quilt, or it won't hang straight... Didn't know that!!! So, I found a nice sized border pattern "in my stuff", and thought to try a Fast Fade Marking tool...
But first I would have to test it...
Day 1 test - a dark squiggle...
Day 2 test - first squiggle fading, and a new squiggle added...
Day 3 test - first squiggle really faded, second squiggle faded...
I did a "wash it out" test. It disappeared fully, so now I am good to go!
Traced my pattern and doing the stitching before it fades away... 8-)
Look at the lovely frost pattern on my sewing room window. Can you tell I have a very old window!?!
This morning at 10am, the temp was "feels like -36*C with the windchill", which translates to feeling like -32.8 *F... Right now, 2pm, the temp is -23*C, so it has warmed up considerably. HA!!
Here is a very entertaining story about two dogs for you dog lovers...
Although it would not have been entertaining to the dog owners at the time it was happening... 8-)

Love the ice on the window, one can only wish, I have not seen a foot like that and if it works even better.
Be careful with the fadeaway pens, they can be a problem later on.
Happy quilting

I never saw a foot like that, but it looks perfect for stitch-in-the-ditch. I'd love to know what marker that is.....I'd love to try to find one here and use it.
I've had problems with the purple pen but never the blue Dritz pen . Your window looks so cool with the frost on it .
Gosh it looks cold. I like the look of that foot.
Oh thanks for all of the quilting tips - your quilt is going to be so pretty!
Great tips.
I love the Christmas-y look on your blog - great new profile picture too!♥
