Ink blot begone
 

Someone (temporarily in the doghouse) left a book bag with an accidentally uncapped ink pen on my log cabin cushion, and it bled all over a few of logs. Ugh. Tried washing, of course, didn't work. Took quite a bit of unstitching and restitching, but the cushion cover is good as new/old again.

Daffy

Nice fix! Can the culprit come out of the doghouse yet?

Love the cushion. Nice job.

IMHO, that 'person' (most beloved, I'm sure) needs to make some serious restitution for their actions. --- Jane

PS - - the bench cushion looks great! ---- Jane

Great job!!!!

Great repair/save!

Kind of a PIDA to do though?

Nice fix, gorgeous cushion!

I'm sorry it happened, but I'm glad it caused you to share your cushion. It is beautiful and I have that bench, too, so I may have another project.

Yeah. Sometimes you just have to grit your teeth and do it, you know? :)

And thanks, everyone.

looks perfect

Beautiful cushion and so glad you were able to save it. I think the "someone" feels really bad and needs a hug ;)

Love the cushion and you did some job on the repair. Is all forgiven?

EEEEKKK! I would have had a fit! I'm glad you got it corrected.

Oh I would have been upset too, that's a beautiful cushion!! Did you try some rubbing alcohol? And I've gotten great results from hairspray too...spray it on the ink, let dry, and launder.

Love the bench cushion!! Thinking it will look great on my deacon bench. Hmm - another project on the list.

Oh my gosh..... Love love love your bench cushion!

Gorgeous cushion. Hope there's not a next time but if so try using a cheap hair spray to remove ink - it works.

Kudos on the repair....love, love, love the cushion....

Beautiful bench & cushion! So inspiring!!

Beautiful! Like they said cheap hair spray! Also amway pretreater! Gets all kinds stufc out! Have had neighbors come over not to borrowcup of sugar but a spritz of pretreater! Can buy it online!!

Did you try milk to remove it. I'm not sure why but it did remove some inks from my father's shirt pocket sometimes.

If this happens again, Heaven forbid, try using rubbing alcohol to remove it. Keep blotting it, usually removes most if not all. Love the cushion.

I think he/she should take you out to lunch, and then to a fabric shop. That'll teach 'em.

Boston1954 has a great idea - have the culprit take you shopping at the local fabric shop. You did a beautiful job of repairing - no one would know!

Great save!

Love the cushion, glad you were able to remove the ink!!!

That is a seriously pretty cushion. I can sure see why someone could be in the doghouse after that. Looks like you are a good "fixer" and no one can tell it now. Very nice.

Great fix!!!!!

So how did you make that beautiful cushion? What's in the middle and is there a zipper somewhere to be able to take it to the washing machine?

Inquiring minds (me) wants to know.

Fixes are so satisfying even if they are really trying in the doing. Nice jobs.

Try windex on ink stains. it can take care of marker ink too, unless it is the permanent kind. At the very least, it can soften it some...You did a great job on the repair!

Great save on the cushion. Perhaps the person responsible for the "accident" should have helped you in fixing it. LOL

I just love! It is so neat! Just beautiful!

I also love your bench cushion.

It was well worth the effort, love your cushion. My first attempt at log cabin blocks was a disaster so they are on the bottom of the "fix it" list.

So glad you were able to make the cushion beautiful again.

A disaster gone right...your repair is beautiful. Love the bench and cushion.

Great job of fixing this cushion. Sometimes we are the ones that learn a lesson when being forced to fix something. Hope the "puppy" (LOL) is out of the dog house!

Beautiful cushion, almost to pretty to sit on.
