Just a couple of things I spotted to share. This one is a great reference to a big variety of sources. It comes from Quilt Inspiration and is full of free patterns.
Bags, tote, purses, laptop cases.....it is all linked here. There should be a pattern for everyone. I actually have made a couple of these and thought this was a wonderful resource to pin and keep.
I can print off the months, make my plans and lists to post in the sewing room. This is great for those of us who teach or do demos.
Thanks, Amy.
I am not trying to open a debate, but I found this article and wanted to pass it on.
From Quilt Skipper......The Frixon pens that are a late rage for marking quilts are GEL pens. The mark may fade or disappear with heat, but that gel stays in the fabric. An interesting read.
Note: I only mark with a pencil, very lightly. If my stitching is good, you won't notice it. And if you see it....you know I needed help.
Hope you find something of interest today. As always, pin from the original source. My Pinterest boards are here . I have reorganized a couple of the boards and broken them down into smaller groupings. Just to confuse and keep it interesting....lol. I am off to a local quilt show today and looking for inspiration. Happy stitching.

I've been reading for a while about those pens, I guess in some cases the marks have come back when they get cold, that would be terrible. I use chalk. I've been trying to get some order to my boards too, I'm checking yours out and may "borrow" some ideas.
I like Amy's calendar. Great idea.
Never have used the Frixion pens and I get along fine without them.
I love to make bags too , I have plans to make a crazy quilt one soon, I have seen so many nice ones on Pinterest!
As for the Pen's I have not used them but wish I could find some I can mark on dark fabrics that show up.
I don't think I want the gel in my quilts.
Good info on the pens; what little marking I've done, I've only used pencil.
