    Default Fabric with owls...

    I'm looking for some fabric to start my next project. Since I'm still new I am keeping my projects small for now. I want to do a baby quilt for a friend. Her daughter's room is the owls/forest theme with pink trim from Pottery Barn Kids. Anyone have any ideas where I can find some charmpacks with a pattern that is similar to that?
    Thanks in advance.

    I do believe there is fabric for just about anything!!! What would be really cute is to find an owl applique to add some pizazz!http://ruthiepearl.com/free-owl-applique-pattern

    Hoos in the forest is pink with owls, a walk in the woods is pink, no owls but with Little Red Riding Hood theme, I found one more from Michael Miller in flannel, called Forest Life on Cotton, don't know if they have other coordinates.

    Have you seen the Disappearing 9 Patch pattern for charm packs? So simple and scrappy looking. I made a baby quilt top last night. If you have 81 charms, it makes a nice size top, I guess that would be 3-4 packs depending on how many are in each pack.

    p.s. No, I haven't tried the D9P yet, but I keep reading about it here on the forum. I'm so excited to learn

    You could also try searching quiltshops.com. It's a quilt fabric search engine. Try typing "owl" in the search box. I got 909 hits in 89 stores! You get lots of pictures and the shops' name underneath. Just click on the picture and you will be taken to the shop that carries that fabric. I love that site. Just know that's there a lots of shops that's not included in this search engine.

    Ps. you could also type "owl sale" and get all the owl fabrics that are on sale! Excellent!
    My machines: *Brother Innov-IS 1500D* *Janome Coverpro CPX* * Babylock Imagine* *Husquarna, a really old one*

    I mostly sew children clothing, but I recently got the "guilting bug" from Jenny

    I have a small blog, but the writing is only in Norwegian I'm afraid. But I have lots of pictures. My blog is calles "Marte og gutta" which translate to Marte (me) and the boys".
