Have you ordered online?

Ive seen some members offer to purchase and send fabric to other countries.. Maybe someone will offer up services for you if you ask..

(((HUGS))) Glad that you feel better now :D:D:D

Ya, there was a whole discussion on this one time, can't remember how long ago it was, but there were lots of people willing to help. With the people selling on the board, if you ask, most people would be willing to send to other countries. :) That way you could get some fabric.

Winter here --no lawn sales till snow melts and warms up Do you have thrift stores? always a bargain there :) hope you feel better

(((HUGS)))

And a question....How do the customs charges get calculated? I sent a quilt to Scotland and did not know about the customs charges.

Does anyone know this?

I feel soo much better now ,,A rant allways feels better :) I would like to thank you for your kindness ,O f course with the stash thingy I would be willing to pay by paypal upfront when the postage is worked out :) And sadly we dont have thrift shops , but do have charity shops , but they never get sewing stuff much ,,,,,anyway ,Ive had a choc eclair and feel revived ,,,,,,,,,,thanks again all :)

It's amazing how much chocolate helps!
I'd ship to you if you ever find anything you want.

I'd be more than happy to let you use my address, then send it over to you!! Just holler!!!

It mightn't help, but Ireland is even worse. I have to order a lot of things from England! I agree that America is the Mecca for quilting, LOL.

A chocolate eclair would make me feel better too!

I live in UK and i have bought from forum members. I have always found that even with postage costs most things work out cheaper. I also buy online from US, have just had an order for 6yds and with postage it came to £23, which is less than £4 a yard for good quality fabric

I get most of my fabric at the Festival of Quilts held in the NEC in Birmingham in August. Usually on mid August but I think it is early this year. Festival runs for 4 days from Thursday to Sunday.

Thanks again , im gonna bite the bullet (so to speak) and order a little online to see how it goes ,Thanks again for your kindness :)

Contact www.ConnectingThreads.com and ask for a catalog. Their prices are reasonable, fantastic selection, and their phone people are very helpful.

Moan away I live in Uk too and know just what it is like, Cotton Patch .co.uk is very good, best of all is that I have ordered from USA and had a fabulous result, even with shipping I still saved a lot of money, I was lucky and didn't have to pay anything over here, pm me if you want to know more.
