You can see the needlemarking here:

On darker fabrics I love to use watercolor pencils.

I prefer a #11 John James Betweens, but from time to time I also use #11 Roxanne. They are both wonderful to quilt with, very stable and with a sharp needle tip.

The designs I used here are very traditional quilting designs often used in British Wholecloth quilts. I own several books about the British Quilting tradition and fortunately the books have many pictures in it. Very often I have to re-draw the patterns and make templates or stencils out of cardboard. These quilts from Wales or the North Countries are my favourite inspiration for my own work and I love to use the traditional patterns.
