The dealer was somewhat surprised at the intended use - no, I don't want them to decorate my home, but to "decorate" my fabric!!!Pat Dolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11724006295082940515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10774137.post-1164989422940064962006-12-01T11:10:00.000-05:002006-12-01T11:10:00.000-05:00Those look great.

Like, if I wanted to use one of my hubby's old tools, would it still be a useable tool when the fabric was done?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
