I was very disappointed to see Carpe Diem when I got home. It's been three days on the work wall drying from the water I sprayed on it to remove the blue marking lines. The blue lines are mostly gone, but the orange bleed from the Aurifil thread is still visible on the quilt.
This is so heartbreaking for me. I've put a lot of work into making this quilt and I'm very proud of it. And to have an internationally popular thread brand bleed is very upsetting. I don't think of thread color as ever bleeding. I need to think about what to do because I can't submit it to a show looking like this. I don't want to wash it. The batting is 100% wool and will shrink and wouldn't look right for a show either. I need to consult with my quilt friends and think about this.
