I might be a long drive LOL! i am going to florida from Nova scotia. i
am taking my baby,( sewing machine,) with me and plan to start some new
smaller projects while there.
good excuse to buy new stash. I many take a course or two depending on
what is offered. there is apparently a quilting/fabric shop a mere 10
minutes away from where I will be staying. i have also mapped out shops
on my way to and from. LOL! I will be driving through several states.
If you do check up please feel free to quilt away on the fan quilt.

I avoid those wash our markers like the plague as I had a bad experience
on a needlework project. Sunlight sets the dye for some reason.
our guild program on Monday past was on marking quilts. A very
knowledgeable lady gave a 2 hour talk and demo. I really learned a
lot. Over a 25 year period she has tried every pencil etc out there for
marking quilts. also learned about no mark marking methods. So have
added a few things to my stash shopping list. LOL!
I intend to help out the US economy especially the quilting supply shops
while down in Florida. LOL!

It will probably depend on a lot of things. What sort of pins did you use?
Is the place where you're storing the quilt be damp?
I've personally never had a problem with my brass pins, and yes, I've left
them in for more than 3-1/2 months.

When I hand-quilt a bed-size quilt it generally takes me as long as a
year. I remove pins as I go, but some of the pins are in for the whole
time. I've never had any problems, . Of course, a quilt on a hoop in my
living room is not exactly the same as a quilt rolled up and stored in
your closet.
