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?

Not so far...time is flying and just think the longer it is the more internationals join and more pretty fabrics...And it gives me time to buy more to rec more.

I had never heard of Ryco -- I will bookmark their website. Many years ago as a child if we saved 10 labels from Wrights trim and sent them in with a dime, we got a package of trims and lace ends. As late as 2000, they had an outlet in Sturbridge, MA. I used to stop in whenever I was in the area and buy a "surprise box" to send pieces to children of quilters. Lots of lace, ribbons, small pieces of velvets and satins. Lots of fun. I wonder i Wrights is still in business -- probably went out with so much coming in from China now.

A friend recently asked if I had gotten trim from wrights this way. Apparently they still have the offer out there. She is responding to a current ad on a trim package.
