Hi guys,

So I like to quilt (the easy in-a-day kind) and while I do utilize my local Jo-Ann's and specialty quilting fabric store, I also like looking at fabrics online. I really love equilter.com, for example.

Anyway, I am trying to hunt down a 100% cotton fabric with a frisbee motif/ print. And this would be for a guy, so I'd like something more cool and Ultimate like than cute. And without dogs.

Has anyone seen such a thing? Any suggestions on great websites for fabric?

Thanks!

I know a place where you could probably find it, but they're not an on-line retailer. Checking their web site, however, it says you can email and call and they'll help you find "that special fabric," so if all else fails maybe you can email them what you're looking for and they can check their stock.

SR Harris is the place. It's simply unbelievable to go there, the pictures don't do it justice. It's about 3 times as big as the pictures on the "about" page make it look. If someone has it, it's them.

. . .Man, now I want to go! And I haven't sewn in a couple of years, and was never particularly good. But tey've got so much beautiful stuff. . .

There is also fabric that can be put through your ink jet printer available. I have some of the June Tailor sheets I got at Wal-Mart but I haven't tried it yet, though.
