It's official. I'M HOME!!! I know that I'm officially home because I just finished unpacking all of my suitcases and stored my carry-on bag. I leave for Quilt Con exactly two months from today. Two. Months. TWO MONTHS!!!!
As I'm sorting through my quilts, I found a big Uh-Oh! At some point in my travels, many people enjoyed looking at this quilt:
I will admit that it's one of my favorites. What isn't my favorite, though, is realizing that someone was a little careless with an inkpen while looking at my quilt:
So... how do you remove pen ink from a pastel yellow quilt? I'm open to any and all suggestions.

Oh man! That is too bad! Can you tell if it is ballpoint or gel? I know the old time removal of ballpoint is hairspray and lots of it along with blotting not rubbing.
I agree with Paula - cheap hairspray or rubbing alcohol. You might have to wash the quilt afterward, though.
Along the same lines: hand sanitizer and a q tip.
soak with hairspray---the old fashioned kind--like aqua-net if you can find it. then blot gently with a white towel
Agree with above, but strongly recommend NO rubbing. I've had lots of experience with husband's shirts. The ink will spread if rubbed, and since it's a quilt, blotting from back would just spread to back. I'd be tempted to just leave it be, depending on quilts use. So sorry!
