I was quilting a friend's beautiful scrappy King size quilt yesterday. She's entered it in our guild show already. I was doing a boxed pebble design we though would highlight the hidden pattern.

I'm in love with my Clover air erasable pens and was using it to mark the diagonals on her quilt. HOWEVER.....carelessly, I picked up and used a permanent turquoise pen.
I thought I would vomit on the spot. I called her; we talked. At guild last night she brought me some extra material.
I've fixed it, by hand today. Other than the fact she knows, the only evidence is one visible diagonal seam that wasn't there before. I was worried more about her friendship, which is intact, than anything else.
It happened so fast (and though I offered her a freebie, she still willing to pay me)
Friendship good.
Pens BAD.
