I have found shops in every large city in Germany we have visited. Even the small area outside of Berlin where my SIL lives has a well stocked shop. The fabrics are mostly what is available here but approx. $30/meter (Cdn) I believe the only German made fabric is from the Westphalen (sp?) area & used in the costume clothing. (although I did make a quilt from it) I think whatever you choose, she would enjoy as it was a gift from your heart to her.
