Most of the fabric I buy here in Scotland is made in the US but I know I could send some tartan or I have had a quick look for Scottish/British fabrics and I found these - would they be of any interest?

Awesome fabrics! My family comes from England and I have never been there and would love to receive your fabrics. I guess I need to go sign up now!

ATTENTION everyone...... I received this package and it had a really bad time at the post office. I think I know who it belongs to but I need to show the photos I took and make sure.
Now, the best way to send any FQ's or made blocks, etc. is to wrap them in clear plastic wrap. I put my name and address on the inside with the fabrics. That way, if the postage gobbler rips open the package or envelope, chances are the things will still be intact. I don't know how many FQ's were inside originally and the return postage envelope but this is what I received.
Unfortunately, I can not replace anything. So if this happens, it is up to the person who sent it to replace the FQ's and the return postage envelope and I can send what I received back with their swap. Just pm me and we can work out the details. I am so sorry this happened!!!! If there are any questions, just let me know.
Again, I am so sorry this happened!!
Blessings!

There are 2 FQ's and a signature block. See the hole in the fabric on the right. I guess that is where the postage machine grabbed it and ripped into the envelope.

This is the envelope that the post office put it into.

I'm really excited at the prospect of this swap, even though the logistics of it for us poor internationals in deepest darkest Africa is a bit difficult, we WILL make a plan.
I went looking for some local flavoured fabrics yesterday. Will post some pics when I can figure out how to ;-)

These are some of our VERY 'African' local prints. Hope they'll work for everyone.
