Quiltcation Day One

Couldn't have a film noir inspired quilt without the monologue.  This will appear in the swirling smoke around my main characters.

There are lots of ways to add words to fabric, but I favor printing out my prose in the chosen font, slapping it on my light box and tracing it onto the fabric.  In this case, I used plain old roller ball with black gel ink.  I've had good results with these pens before, but I always try writing on a small section of the fabric to make sure it's not going to bleed, and test it again after heat setting it.
