Looking for Fabric

Apr 16, 2007 9 Replies

I'm doing an attic windows quilt for my son and DIL. It's kinda a memory quilt using different pictures from their past and present. Things like baseball, bowling, school, vacations, etc. I've found about 50 fabrics I can use, but I can't seem to find any novelty fabrics associated with softball, X's and O"S (XOXOXOXO), swimming or country music.



Can anyone help me? Thnx so much. Barb C in S. FL



I haven't seen any softball fabrics, but there's a ton of baseball fabrics out there. JoAnn's had about a dozen different ones last time I was there.

(NAYY), a search for baseball returns 237 items (not all different). No good matches for swimming or country music, but if you type in just music, you get 600+ matches -- probably at least one of those will work. HTH!

There was recently a Valentine's Day fabric that had X's and O's on it. How big are your pieces?

Hey Barb. I live in So. Fla. also and my LQS is waiting to get it in. I keep checking with them. Are you anywhere close to Margate?

I'm in Fort Lauderdale. I've been to Sunshine who down here hasn't been to Sunshine?), and over the past few weeks have bought enough fabric there to start my own store. I did find o few unique fabrics at J&O online. They actually had softball fabric, but not in stock rite now.
