The only disappointing thing is that I used one of those blue disappearing ink type pens to trace the stitchery - for the first time, Unfortunately, when I wet it to remove the ink, in some spots the blue ink keep coming back or even creeping into new places! I generally try not to mark my quilts but I am glad this happened on a small project instead of a large one! Anyone else have trouble with those blue pens?
Have a pieceful day!

What a neat stitchery! Don't know what to tell you about the blue pins, I use pencil and have no problems with it because the stitching covers it. Your friend will love it regardless because it came from you.
that is sooooo cute.
oh those blue pens, I stopped using them after hearing the blue comes back ..sometimes the next day or 6 weeks later in some spots.
maybe she just needs to really dampen the stitchery to get rid of the blue all together?
worth a try I guess

What a cute project! I love how you used the ric rac too!
What a cute project!~ can you tell me where you found the pattern? I haven't had any problems with the blue pens, but I do soak it out in a lot of water, and then wash whatever I've used it on, so it should be good and gone. ;-)
It's gorgeous. Sorry to hear about the pen, I've not used them before, but then I've never done a stitchery before either...
I don't have problems with the blue pen but I get the finished quilt completely soaked with COLD water. This is very cute.
Very cute project! I have also battled the reappearing blue pen. I don't use them anymore.
Oh my gosh this is wonderful! I love it.
I LOVE this project! Can you share where you got it?
I use the blue pens all the time. When you rinse them out, rinse from the back of the stitchery so you are not pushing that blue into the batting or backing...
