New For March!: Kit of the month!  

Rowandean en Français!

Finally, the long promised French language site is now a reality. Click on the above link and a new page en Français will appear! We are still working on it page by page so please be patient!

Paris in the Spring!
We have been back to the l'Aiguille en Fete show that was held at the beautiful Grand Halle de la Vilette in Paris this March. We met lots of new friends and many of our time honoured customers as well. 

Details can be found on http://aiguille-en-fete.com . If you 
type Aiguille en Fete into Google and then click on "translate this page"
you will automatically get the site in English! Clever stuff eh...

Our good friend Phil Stuart of Design Perfection will be showing Rowandean Embroidery kits at the Foire de Paris show from 30 April - 12 May at the Porte de Versailles and his stand can be found in 
Hall 5 / 2 on stand 32.

Speaking of translations, we've found this nice little tool at Google and thought we'd give it a try. Just type www.rowandean.com into the "Translate a Web Page" window, choose the language you want, press the "Translate" button,  and hey presto! instant translation. The entire site in the language of your choice.

New mount fabric! 
We have replaced the old grey-green and fawn coloured mount fabrics with a beautiful cream wool serge fabric. This makes your stitching even more colourful and vibrant!

Some very good news: postage is now FREE anywhere in the world! (Internet orders only) This is our way of saying "Thank you!" to all of our wonderful internet customers!
