Boy, oh boy, the Yen rate is soooo low right now. I hope it will pick up here soon!!! It's only 75 Yen to the dollar....when we got here in Nov. 2009 it was 98 Yen to the dollar, but dropping since then.
I like the idea of a 3 1/2" signature block.

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?

Yvie: Thanks for joining us!! There are never any dumb questions! We all learn something from questions asked. Your fabrics are wonderful!!!!

Blessings!

So, if we send signature blocks, should they be 3 1/2" (3" finished)?

The signature blocks can be any size you want!!! They don't have to match so go for it!!!! We can all thank THRUMS for getting all of the others countries to join us!!!! She is the BOMB!!!!!!!!

THANKS, Thrums!!!!

Blessings!

Valerie: I will pm you with my address. Yes on the postage. When you send it through your post office, ask them how much it will cost to send it back to you. Put that postage on the return envelope and put it inside of the envelope you are sending to me.

I am so GLAD that you joined us!!!!!

Blessings!

brilliant idea as it would link everybody that takes part and give us all memories. :lol:
I have some fabric in mind and am thinking about putting a short resume of the type of fabric. :roll:
