Dear Elaine, Thank you for letting me know. Actually, Jeri gifted me with 5 dozen square bobbins when I first started BL (she is my fairy godmother, you know vbg). I love using them . So, when I needed more and couldn't get them from the UK, I ordered from Holly V-S, who was Jeri's supplier .

Hi everyone Nice topic Lynn. 'retro' is very in, right now - old style, cheap kitchenware from the thrift shop is on my list for the collectors/users in the family. Wrap it in the clear basket wrap with extras tucked around - looks creative, is useful, and plus you get to prowl around places
