Dear Tom,
I spotted your e-mail on the tex-con. I am
looking for a silk type Grosgrain fabric for the back of a folding screen.
The front is silk aubusson tapestry. Color: dusty peach.
I have found good fabrics cotton/poly in upholstery
shops but not the right color.
Do you have any suggestions?? I left a
message about this with Verlene last week but no word has been received
yet.
I would appreciate any help you might provide in
finding a grosgrain or faille fabric.
Thank you very much.
