Pincushions!

Thanks for all the great pincushion comments. It seems I am not alone in my love of them......although my collection is not as grand as many. I thought I should gather mine up for a photo opportunity. It's very hard to choose a favourite, but I do love Anni's with the quote around the sides...."stitch with your heart, sew with your soul".....perfect for all of us I think. Natalie Birds Red home pincushion and the silver rabbit would be my other favourites.

So on to the winners. Fiona -Bubzrugz won the blue, and Hilda and Jan - Little Red Hen both win a red. Send me your addresses and I will pop them in the mail next week. Thanks everyone for entering.

Does anyone know if it's ok to post crushed walnut shells overseas? Apart from the weight, would there be a customs issue?

Hoping to lay out my Irish Circles blocks this weekend, so I can see where I'm up to. Time to start thinking about the next border I think.

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

  3. Lovely collection.
    I have received crushed walnut shells inside small pillow finishes from overseas into Aus without a problem, but I'm not sure about the other way as I haven't managed to find it and use it myself in finishes and then mail out.

  14. You could try goggling customs of the country of destination. I suspect that the crushed walnut shells come from abroad anyway (USA?). Try goggling our customs dept and see if nut shells need to be treated to get into the country? Do you get your crushed walnut shells from Hatched and Patched, because she might also know if she has import them.

    I am not sure about the posting but I think most places it would be ok... I think we (Aus) are the strictest ... you may need to google up the customs for that country...
