Not nearly as exciting as that yearly physical but still interesting enough. I've ordered material, I've ordered another book and I've been to the local fedex to get a photo enlarged of a design that I've decided I wanted to do for my quilt. So now that big question is: How do I go from picture to material???? I've tried light box, doesn't work for me. I've tried clear platic trace and pin, doesn't work for me. I've tried sticky paper draw and pin then sew, doesn't work for me. I can't draw a straight line much less curves to save my life. I tried chalk pencil long time ago and the marks never washed out of the quilt. I was soooooo upset over that one. So does anyone have ANY ideas on how I can transfer the pattern onto the material and then have the marks wash out????? Oh by the way, the quilt is loaded on the LA so any ideas would have to work around having it on the machine. I know some of you have used the chalk pounce. Does it really work well, as in the chalk comes off when washed or ironed?
With several days still left of my vacation I would like to get at least one top done.
Although it might be a toss up. It's been cloudy all day and now the sun is coming out. I might have to go get some rays.

Hi Brenda, good idea but my machine didn't come with the stylist much less any pantographs to practice with. So far I have made up my own stencil and will try using the disappearing ink to draw lines with and try a block and see how that goes. Tomorrow I may go and get a chalk pounce and try that.
And thanks to everyone else that offered your experiences and help. I'll let you know how day three of the vacation goes!
