I've now managed to get about half of it done. Before heat setting it I will go back over a couple of the areas. The design is starting to stand out now i think.
Once the pattern gets transferred, it is kind of relaxing to just fill in the background with the Sharpie. :) I was thinking that this type of a pattern reminded me of some Hawaiian applique patterns and they might be good for this also. I'll have to check what I have on hand. I also will be checking out Walmart for other colors of sharpies besides just black. Sharpie comes in a variety of colors and it might be fun to experiment.
I also made more progress on my "I'm not a turkey" redwork. Here is it.
He might be trying to hide that he's not a turkey, but he's headless yet whatever he is. LOL. I have to do some satin stitch for his disguise but since it is on my embroidery floor stand, I can easily go and pick it up and take a few stitches and put it easily back down again. I do that stitching over by the TV which has a comfier chair and gives me a break from sitting in the computer chair all the time.
My CyberQuilter yahoo group had a posting that was interesting. Pilot has a pen that is erasable. When heat is applied the ink disappears even off of fabric according to this report....

Walmart is suppose to have them so I will go and check them out also.
That's it for now. Catch up with everybody later.
