They also have a thin tip/thick tip option, which is great if you are doodling...katelnorthhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04995181032124912822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35206196036065292.post-85247466177838154582008-11-21T10:18:00.000-05:002008-11-21T10:18:00.000-05:00John,<BR/>I also use this method to label my quilts. The only difference is that i use a extra finepoint sharpie to handwrite my information --- I cannot write on fabric with the pigmas, and the sharpies do not bleed or fade when ironed before washing your quilt.<BR/><BR/>Love your blog - you have wonderful ideas and beautiful quilts.<BR/>MarshaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35206196036065292.post-30266146572511812352008-11-20T10:23:00.000-05:002008-11-20T10:23:00.000-05:00This is really a great traditional quilt.

A wooden dowel can be slipped right into those corners (or any other piece of wood or plastic that fits).<BR/><BR/>I really like that zine also; some good ideas in there.<BR/><BR/>Speaking of freezer paper, I have some that washes out! So I use that under my labels and leave it in while I stitching them on. When the quilt is washed, the paper disappears.

It will keep the fabric flat and smooth so the pen doesn't stick or jump.piecemealquiltshttp://piecemealquilts.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35206196036065292.post-31799058610395096912008-11-19T18:03:00.000-05:002008-11-19T18:03:00.000-05:00It's a great little quilt! You really can't beat the Micron pigma pens. They're the way that I do most of my labels. And I'm sure in the future it will be nice to have someone's <I>handwritten</I> words. <BR/><BR/>Did you see how I did my last label? I quilted it in the quilt. It was kind of cool. I just whip stitched it to the back, first. But, I'm sure that you could use a machine stitch to put it on there. The key is that you have put it on <I><B>before</B></I> you quilt it. Which means <I>remembering</I> to put it on the back before you quilt it.

At first I thought it was a disappearing 9 patch, but then I looked closer - it's a fun little block!

I love the muted colors of the season. Great choice of fabrics on that one. I also like the block style. I have the F&amp;P Easy Quilts mag that you mention. I will have to check it out. I would like to make a doll quilt for my daughter for Christmas and the block style you used is perfect.<BR/><BR/>Jen :)PunkiePiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02049111666824907553noreply@blogger.com
