I used a red fine tip Pigma pen to mark the Sunbonnet Sue patterns on the white background squares prior to hand embroidering them.

Oh, thank you. That is a really clever idea to match your pen to your thread color. Will definitely use that tip!

LOVE your redwork. Also love your avatar with Alex. I had my picture taken with her about that same time.
