Dropped by one of my Field's Fabrics last night (this is called "a
Field trip"). My quest was some openwork finished-edge lace to turn
into a Bertha collar for my tablecloth ballgown (the one with the
Christmas print and white poinsettias). Found it. (Field's has
everything.)

And they had a cotton print with sousaphones. No extraneous woodwinds
or glocks. Just sousaphones. And it's not subtle; the horns are about
2" tall, with lots of solid open space around them.

As a local coordinator of Tuba Christmas, this is a marvelous find.

The print is part of a line called "Marching Band" (big surprise) and
it comes in a bright royal blue, ivory, or Christmasy red, all with
yellow horns. Other prints show an entire marching band (but their
uniforms are the wrong color!).

Yep! I have some of that (the ivory) and I'm thinking of how to use it. I'm doing quillows for Kappa Kappa Psi and Tau Beta Sigma (college marching band fraternity and sorority) to be raffled off at the convention, and I was thinking of putting it on the back of one of the quillows. But the more I think of it, I might make some pillows for the tuba folk. My son is an alto sax guy, in the marching band at James Madison U, in Virginia. I've been doing quillows for several years now and they usually bring in cash. The only problem is decided who gets them - JMU where he is now (grad school) or Lock Haven of PA, where he got his bachelor's.

One for each? ;)
