- This ad was in the Oct.92 issue of "Just Cross Stitch" magazine:
-
- Anne Powell Ltd will sell you 6 different sizes of solid 9 ct gold
- tapestry needles, (size 24 to 13) for prices ranging from $23.00
- to $98.00--I guess the largest needles are the most expensive.The
- ad says the needles are English-made.
-
- Call 1-800-622-2646 to order by credit card. Or send $4 for a
- color catalogue, or $10 for the catalog plus linen swatches.
- Their address is:
-
- P.O. Box 3060, Stuart, FL 34995
