For Sale

Well as I’m finally moving it’s time to downsize my overly large quilting/craft collection. I’m starting with some books, there will be more.

There will also be fabrics, patterns & kits to follow.

Please email me if you would like to purchase any of the books.

jan@countryoriginals.com.au

POSTAGE

I will post in pre-paid satchels.

500g is $5.70 or 3 kg for $9.90.

I’ve weighed the books so you can work out your postage. (Weight is after the title.)

The 3 kg satchels weigh 18g, I’m guessing the 500g one is about 10g, so this needs to be taken into account. :-)
