It's for the horse's mouths in those two wall hangings I made. You can see them here: http://www.quiltingboard.com/t-37992-1.htm

I got lots of great advice about quilting them. The delay has been their mouths! :roll: I practiced a stem stitch and it looks bad. I'm not a graceful hand sewer. Bindings are my limit. :|

So, I put the book "The Art of Landscape Quilting" on hold at the library and picked it up tonight. Fabric markers are used a lot in there. Is there any reason for me to not use markers for the horse's mouths? I think I'd baste--big stitches--in the spot to make sure I'm happy with where it is first.

Please say it's a great idea. :D
