Sewline fabric pencils. I have been using the white one for a year, and love it. Love, love, love it. It never breaks, writes smoothly, and has always washed out. So, I splurged and purchased the other three colors: Pink, green, and yellow. So, while I haven't used them yet, I have high hopes!
Applique needles. I first started out with the Tulip needles pictured below. They sew like butter through anything. Even tightly woven batiks! When I was ordering another package (because I lost my first) I decided to also try some of the John James needles. I've been just as happy with them. So, two good finds for me this year. I would recommend trying either one.
So why all these items together? Because I bought them all off of Karen Kay Buckley's Webstore. I cannot find the Tulip needles anywhere else. And they are all things that I had bought and used at her workshop that I took last year. When I made my order they were packaged and shipped the next day! BTW, she doesn't know me from Adam, and you are welcome to buy what you want from wherever you want. I just had a good experience using her store.

Rachel what are you using the pencils for? Is it for marking the quilting design?
Good to get a rundown of these notions and where we can buy them. So often we get all gaga about our fabrics and forget that we need tools to put them together!
