Hi all

DD has recently bought a bearded dragon (now called Dexter) and is after some polar fleece type fabric with lizards or geckos on it so I can make a blanket / cushion like these for her (or rather for Dexter):

I've had a quick google and not come up with a source of similar fabric as yet.

Does anyone know of any sources that will ship internationally or does anybody have some they would swap for something?

Thanks

Lizzy

Here is a place that seems to have some Gecko pattern stuff. Not sure if it is what you are looking for, but there are some choices there.

I am far too good-mannered to notice that John (who only pieces with solids, he says) offered this site on a fabric search. I was on break from a cooking marathon and went to see what was there. The site -

is wonderful. Wait until you have at least an hour or so for looking around. I used up all of my recess just checking out what they had in their bargain bin. Beautiful website, John; fabrics I love and many I didn't even know existed. That was fun. Polly

I am only using solids right now to get rid of a bunch that I have. I do like and look at patterns, and as soon as I make room for some patterns I will get some more. That is a great site, though, and should be nice for your kids quilts that you make. Kids love all sorts of creepy crawly stuff.

I was expecting to see just the sort of things you find when you're emptying the pockets of small boys' pants for the wash. (That's more excitement than some of us are entitled to.) But -

has a collection of butterfly prints that are gorgeous. Speaking of Butterflies, what have we done with our own? Our Miss Butterfly has been missing for quite a while. Polly

What is wrong with making a WUH? You keep reminding us that these 'fabric objects' have a mind of their own and THIS ONE decided it wanted to be on the wall for all and sunder to enjoy. Didn't wanna be behind closed doors.

Did you happen to notice that one category is "Dinosaurs, Dragons, and Gators?" The gators are at the bottom of the category. PAT
