    Default looking for fabric that shows pottery

    I was wondering if anyone had seen or know of a good place to look for fabric with pottery wheels or something to that effect. I have been asked to make a block in memory of a young man that we were friends with. After he passed away they donated his heart and the foundation makes a quilt using a block from each donor. Our friend used a pottery wheel and loved to make things. Thank you for your help.

    I don't think I have ever run across any fabric with potters wheels on it. Maybe you could applique a potters wheel on a square for the block?

    Thank you. I saw this one but your picture shows it better than what I saw. I fb the picture to my friends mom to see what she thinks.

    I found fabric at Arizona Quilts depicting clay pots. It is in the folder called Southwest and towards the bottom.

    Good luck!

    I haven't seen everything they have, but they have lots of unusual themes..out of the norm. I got a panel with cupcakes (on sqs) and am going to incorporte them into a quilt. But they have some really interesting themes.

    If u can't find it anywhere else, look on ebay. Or possibly use a pic and use fabric transfer. Just a thought.

    Did you try the Bernatex Fiesta line they have some very colorful pottery fabric. Don't know if it's what your looking for but it's definitely worth a peek.
