Here is one example of my work - a wallhanging in a navy blue quilted with red thread.

Love the quilts. So I have a question: Where do you find the patterns for this?

The pattern is a ready cut stencil with a block motif and a border. I just changed it a little bit for the motif in the center and only used a small part for the little background patterns.

Sorry to ask so many questions. What do you use to mark it on the fabric? A washable pen prehaps?

Born to Hand Quilt, your quilt is out of this world.
I would like to make a whole cloth quilt, but my plans are to do it by machine, when my free-motion gets better Haha.

For dark fabrics I use watercolor pencils. They come in every color you need and I try to find one two or three shades lighter than the fabric. For light fabrics I use a very traditonal method called needle marking. With the tip of a darning needle you follow the slots in a precut stencil or mark around a template. The needle tip leaves a thin mark or pressed line on the fabric that lasts quite a long time! The big advantage is that you don't have to remove any markings after the quilting is finished. I also use this method for freehand marking without stencils.
