I cannot get over how much pencil I used for one project. I started with a brand new marking pencil and, keeping it very sharp, used almost the whole thing.
I found some chalk pencils set up like mechanical pencils. They were 6.99 on sale in various colors. It looks like I'm going to get more than one in my purchase though. It looked like a great deal and at the same time cheap enough that if it doesn't work, I don't feel bad for giving it away. I got 3 things from the website adding sales and my shop hop gift certificate, I made out pretty good. It was worth it.
Now I have to make something to quilt so I can try out my new pencil. :roll:
