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?

I'm from wisconsin, but have traveled internationally...so, I might have some special pretties to part with.

really looking forward to this!

I'm with you on the true confessions, I also only joined the Quilting Board after seeing this thread.
I'm so looking forward to seeing all the fabrics, but January is VERY far away ;-)

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.
