Lotti is right, WOW! Quilting certainly does get in the blood, doesn't it?

[idaho]

Wow ! Thanks for sharing !

[Renata]

Thanks, Limbania! it was great and I did get a chance to glance around at the rest of her blogging...

[lorra]

Limbania, it is an amazing quilt. I hope they enter it into some shows too. They definitely deserve some ribbons. The design alone is amazing. I am sure the quilting will be beautiful when it is finished. Thanks for showing it to us.

A-m-a-z-i-n-g! Thanks for sharing.

Wow, I had to keep looking to see it flat, brilliant work

[Lorna1021]

Wow! that's amazing. I wouldn't even know where to begin...

At the beginning of course :P

Hey Lorna, there has been some interest in the spiral eye needles from those of us in UK (and possible Denmark too) but the postage from the site is prohibitive - any chance that you could come to our rescue on this?

[Zarah]

Yeah, definitely Denmark too. I was looking at the site and gave up. Please Lorna and thank you Rosemary for bringing it up

Are you sure? I emailed the owner of the company about shipment to Ireland and Switzerland, it was $4.00. It's just a little envelope.
Just saying...

I hadn't personally checked the amount, but as a generality I am a bit leary about costs of buying mail order from overseas. Especially as sometimes we will get charged duty on the item, which Royal Mail collects, and they then charge £8 on top of that for collecting the duty owed (regardless of whether it is £1 or £8 or more). That is the bit we have to look out for. If, however it is sent as a gift from a 'domestic' address, we are less likely to get stuck with the duty (provided it is under a certain amount, which I cannot remember at the moment)

The advantage with Lorna is that she has a miltary services address here in UK and it eases the flow - as it were....

I was having a look at them from various websites this morning and Nancy's Notions have them for $14.95 which is a good price but then the shipment to Europe is $15. I think Rosemary is right about the domestic 'gift' as opposed to a business order.

I just looked them up on her Nancy's Notions and they're on sale for $10.99 right now.

I just ordered some of the spiral needles from Nancy's Notions. They are on sale for $10.99 right now. I had a problem placing the order online so I called them and learned that they had price point shipping which means if I bought 3 packages of those needles about the same cost as 3 yds of fabric I'd have to pay the same price shipping for either order even though one is comparatively weightless to the other. I complained. Price for shipping 3 pkgs of needles at pricepoint was $7.99. They agreed to send it to me for $4.95. Just wanted to share this information. I couldn't find these needles in the local shops. Have a great day everyone.
