The first quilted item I made that wasn't a practice pot holder. I graduated myself to a table runner for a Secret Santa present. Used Chrismas fabrics that had gold highlights and a gold lame binding!! OMG that was just plain stupid. When I was cleaning out my sewing room last year my husband picked up a bit that was left and asked "where should I put this one" "BIN IT!!".
No more Lame fabric allowed in this house.
