  8. Your quilting looks great Peg, well done!! The pounce pad makes it so much faster and easier to mark out your quilting pattern.

  9. I've been debating about using the pounce pad. I bought one awhile back. After seeing how well your markings came out, I think l'll give it a go. Your quilting looks great. Good job on the stitching.
