You're reminding me of why I said I'd never leave a bag with
needlework beside the sofa again. Because one day the coffee cup fell
over. That's right. All by itself. Had nothing to do with the klutz
drinking from it. Of course I have begun to leave bags there again.
And this is why I shouldn't.
Good luck on the ink removal.
And thanks for the reminder!

Or the coke that my friend messed up for me when she tripped and splattered
coke all over a white on white needlepoint I did some years back. It never
came out completely.
Of course I never do anything stupid like that, not ever,
neeeeevvvveeeerrrrr. If you believe that do I have a bridge I can sell you
!!!!!

Did you try to tint it something in the ecru family? I did that to a
crewel pillow which had a stain on the natural background. I gave the
whole pillow a bright yellow tint which hid the stain and honestly
made the pillow more cheerful looking. I didn't alter the design
colors so that I noticed.

I shampooed the area, restitched it in white, then tied a small bow
onto it to hide that remaining slight tinge of blue. It worked ok
into the design. You mean you've never seen a cat with a bow at the
base of his tail? : ))

That sounds like a great idea. If anyone asks, tell them the cat wanted it
and meowed a pleased thank you.
