Finding Stretcher Bars in a Needlepoint Desert

Most travelers outside of the United States are going to have a hard time finding the usual needlepoint supplies we take for granted.  Fortunately Debbie Rowley is inventive and knows just what to do when she accidentally leaves her stretcher bars behind on a trip to Edinburgh.

Actually I've used artist stretcher bars as well since stitching supplies are also hard to come by in Chilly Hollow and its environs.  The ones I own don't have the little ridge around the outside edge that Debbie's had on the front side.  The big drawback is their width—they are usually 2-3 inches wide which can be a problem if your canvas doesn't have a lot of excess blank canvas around the sides.  But needs must!
