Unfortunately, the size of the box would probably make it very cost prohibitive to ship.

Also, space in the house is at an all-time premium and I can't afford to use it storing these items. Everything has to be stored in my small bedroom.

Will they fit under a bed or sofa? The quilting hoops can be expensive to buy.

I don't have the option of storing anything outside my room and under my bed is clothes storage. Also, handwork really does drive me right off the deep end and I don't see myself ever putting any time or effort into it. Better that they go to someone who will appreciate them. :)

I have several of them and only bought them on sale as they can be quite expensive. Are you looking to donate them or sell them, as I go to an assisted living facility with my Service/Licensed Pet Therapy dog, and I have started doing some handiwork with some of the residents, and I know that they could definitely use them. They appear to be larger ones, and the designs I have been painting on fabric tend to be larger then normal so those with bad vision can see what they are doing.
Please let me know.

I was going to say cross-stitch frame. Is tapestry in the UK the same as cross-stitch in the US?
similar...tapestry is intricate stitches, and uses yarn or silk...

The long straight one is for needlepoint. I have done more than 30 needle point pictures from 8 x 10 to 30 x 40 over the years and there are many different size needlepoint frames. You slip the canvas into the split sides and twist the round dowels until your surface is taught and then you screw the metal nuts till they are tight. As you complete the section you are working on, you loosen it, twist and start needle pointing on the next section. I thought quilting would be easier...it is NOT just much bigger and different.

Jennalyn, if you get no takers or Freecycle, let me know. I can always be tempted to come to your part of the world. Didn't get my fill of crabs when I was OC a couple of weeks ago!
