I told them how much I dislike toxic spray adhesives, and also how using fusible webbing & hot irons is very difficult to use when working with small fibre art pieces. Postcards are case in point. Glue sticks are gunky and liquid glue needs to dry or often soaks through and leaves a stain. I also told them how only had a half stick left and didn't share with my postcard class. So they sent me some Lapel Sticks free of charge. I'll use these to have available in my future workshops.
This arrival was perfect timing! On my table is the batting and backdrop for a landscape piece I "intend to enter" in the big quilt show this fall. It involves many little chopped up fabrics. I need that lapel stick but didn't plan on ever seeing it any time soon because of our national postal service strike. But here it is!

As promised, here's a little giveaway. Want to try some? I'll give a Lapel Stick to 2 lucky winners picked at random. You don't really need to do anything in particular but leave a little hello note. Maybe a limerick? Tell me in rhyme why you would like to win the glue. I'll announce a winner on Monday. (contest closes Sunday Midnight). Make sure you leave me your email address so I can find you.
Have a good weekend!

I could really use some glue.
Lapel Stick is fine
It'd be nice to call mine.
Glad you're giving away two.
I've been trying to think of something all morning. Alas - my sick head can't think. I even took the wrong medicine this morning. How about "Glue is cool. Lapel Stick for the win." :) Can you tell I'm not thinking too clearly? Would love to win anyhow!
I really don't want to be blue so would love to win the glue ;-) I must say this is a new product to me , sounds wonderful and I'd love to try it for all the reasons you mentioned .Thanks for the chance.
