Thank you for posting the pics! I can't wait to get the ones I ordered and the prices were so good that I wasn't sure what they were going to look like.
I ordered the flower border like the one you have quilted with the two ribbons going through it. I also ordered the large corner motif with the flowers and ribbons and the love birds with the ribbon AND the double ribbon. I think I will use them all in my Giant Dahlia.

Hello everyone,
I have a question about using quilting stencils. I have never been serious about hand quilting, but have bought stencils thinking that one day I would take a stab at it.
How do I start with marking my piece? I have the chalk pouncers and promptly threw them away - can't stand them.
Do we put the stencil where we want it and draw the marks on with a special pen?
Please let me know what you all do because I'm at a total loss as to what to do. Thanks! Cathy Oh!

Hi girls! In the top picture, on the black material I have marked a small stencil. It is marked with a fons and porter mechanical quilting pencil. I used the white lead on the black so you could see it. That is a 4' stencil on the black. The pencil also comes with dark lead for light fabric. In the bottom blue picture you can see what a stencil marking looks like after quilting. The small stencil marked on the black is laying on the table in the picture of stencils. I don't know if that helps or not.

Hi girls, this is the last stencil it came yesterday. It is a white on white stencil but I probably will use a color thread to quilt it. It's name is geranium I'll try to post picture now.
