Oh, my goodness, panic and distress all the way, for sure--and on a commissioned quilt, no less! Glad it worked out, and yes yes yes, JaneQuilter's post on the gazillion trials and errors of getting red out of hers has made quite an impact on me. Only Crayola Ultra Wash markers for me now. Did you tell the Amish lady what happened? I hope you do so that she knows never to use that again and that you had a devil of a time getting her pen marks out.
