Wonderful Carrie you should be please with the result..
Thank you all for your suggesions re threads, I have just had an e-mail from Tristan Threads explaing the shipping costs. If I keep the weight under 2lbs they will ship for $18.65 which is what I pay from the US.... SO I did purchase some threads, did it in 2 orders, some variegated and some basic thread for piecing. Yippee 2 parcels from Canada..
