I got myself into a pickle here. My "Quilted Furnace Thermometer"
went over so well at church that I am going to make a *bunch* of
banners of various types for my church to display. How do I get
myself into these things??? Oh yeah, I said I'd volunteer to do it.
VBG Why doesn't someone bop me upside the head when my mouth starts
to open.... and before I can say "sure, I can do that"??? The Hunky
Mr. Collins is an enabler- no help at al!

I need a LOT of gold lame' of the quilter's cotton type- not that
flimsy, slinky tissue lame' stuff. Does anybody know of a source for
it by the yard that won't cost me my entire life savings? TIA

Ha! I knew that was going to happen!!! Would the quilters gold "shot"
cotton work? It's not the shiny, shiny lame, but the woven cotten with
metallic threads through it? I have some....not a LOT, but I bet we can
find a good quantity for you.

Didn't we all just *know* that would happen! LOL Oh well..... I
have some FQs in various colors that I bought years ago that were
advertised as cotton lame' for quilters. I don't know anything else
about it, but it really isn't very shiny at all- prolly less shiny
than those yummy Hoffman fabrics with the golden highlights. I just
need something that's shiner than your normal gold colored cotton
fabrics- which aren't shiny at all, of course- just a hint of a
glint??? And several plus yards of it- so thanks for the offer,
but.....

Awww, c'mon now, Leslie. Nothing. Nothing has the stage presence of real
lamé. I have a nice-sized hunk left from a Mardi Gras project. Be glad to
send it to you. All you have to do is sneak it warmly onto some stabilizer
and it is much more beautiful than any 'also ran'. I don't guess any of
your projects must be prepared for spit-up spinach or teething. Don't you
want to use the real thing? Polly
