The grass is still growing under my little house. I wish the grass outside was growing as slowly. It's still too hot and muggy to mow and the yard is a shabby mess.
I've got six blocks on the nine patch quilted. I ditched the chalk pounce and am using my heat erasable markers. It makes a big difference.
I was spending more time trying to figure out where I was wherever I had rubbed the chalk off which was all the time. Using the markers was scary at first but I am happy to say they ironed away beautifully.

That's a lot of grass you stitched! That filling in seems to take FOREVER, doesn't it? Looking good!!
ReplyDeleteI like your grass. We mowed our grass for the last time on Saturday. We close on the house today. Then it will be too late for second thoughts. :-)
ReplyDeleteI've thought about using those heat erasable pens but wasn't sure it would really go away. Thanks for assuring us that it works.
Blessings,

Heat erasable markers? Sounds like a great tool for stitching. Your sampler is progressing nicely.
ReplyDeleteThe sampler is beautiful! Looking forward to seeing it complete. Good to know your experience with those pens was successful. I have yet to try those.
ReplyDeleteThose big solid blocks take forever in cross stitch!
ReplyDeleteI have one of the heat-erasable pens and I am afraid to use it. I'll have to try it because chalk is so frustrating!
It might feel like a slog but it is progress.
ReplyDeleteI like to use the fusion pens-the iron takes the like right out but otherwise, it stays put! I use it on my quilts and embroideries!
