Hello everyone
This subject has probably been covered before, but please bear with me.
Since I am still relatively new to quilting (it's only been a year and a half!), I have missed out on a lot of great fabrics that have come and gone before I became involved. Just recently I saw a Debbie Mumm fabric on ebay called school days and it gave me a brainwave; I would very much like to make a lapthrow for my DD2's teacher for the end of the school year in June. Nothing fancy, I think a simple 9-patch will do. However, this fabric is out of print. Can anyone recommend an online site that carries out of print fabrics? Where could I go? The Debbie Mumm site does not carry it. I know there are a lot of websites in Australia that carry a lot of Debbie Mumm, but I have not found it so far. Please help!
And now part two: I have also considered "making" the fabric myself; is this feasible??? I mean; I purchase what I can find of the fabric, run it through the scanner, and then print it onto fabric using a color printer. When I did mom's memory quilt, printing photos onto fabric, I was very pleased with the result. Would this work for the fabric?
Or am I just going off the deep end in a big way here?
Thanks
Claudia
