Maureen, you are so lucky! Actually, we are pretty lucky here too. The suppliers we have in this country do bend over backwards to help us get what we want/need. My family couldn't say enough good things about the service they received when ordering my Christmas goodies. Even though I only

Hi, I'm after patterns to make beaded pin badges of flags for a Guide activity day (see here for what I mean http://tinyurl.com/4qpsg ) What I'm after is anyone who either has patterns for these badges or small cross-stitch patterns which I could adapt so that the Guides can make badges of the
