NHL Fans - Fabric Alert!
 
I was searching for an alternate hockey fleece as Fabric.com didn't have a 2+ yard length available in the print I ordered. When I entered hockey into Joanns.com - a selection of NHL licensed fabrics came up. Not all the teams are represented yet, it looks like they started with the playoff teams - but one can home that others - like the hapless Hurricanes - will be available in the future. The banner at Joanns does indicate that they have exclusive rights to the NHL logos. A huge improvement, in my mind, over not being able to get them at all!

Cheers, K

Thanks, I knew it was supposed to be introduced in 2014, but had not seen it yet. When you live near HockeyTown, this is a must!

I will have to check it out. I found Rangers at local JoAnn's a few months ago but have looked all over for the Pittsburgh Penquins. Hope they have it!


Yes!

Thanks for the heads up b/c I gave up looking.

The Joann's in Pittsburgh have the Penguins material (fleece and cotton). I believe it's available on their web site also. I got some when it first came out to make a quilt for my grandson. I wish someone had the baseball (Pittsburgh Pirates) material. I'd be all set!

Hugs!

I ordered Boston Bruins fabric from Joanns.com two weeks ago. It was my first time ordering on line, I was pleasantly surprised it didn't take long to arrive. I live in New Brunswick so just had to cross the border into Calais, Maine to pick it up. The fabric was very nice quality. Joanns is caring some NHL teams but now I'm looking for Toronto Maple Leafs fabric. Is there any place that carries the Canadian teams?

Grandmasieg, Fabric.com has Pittsburgh Pirates fabric, just ordered and rec'd it last week.

Have to tell you what happened to me at Joanne's: I'd been searching for Pirates fabric forever and as I walked over to the sports fabric the saleslady was placing 3 new bolts on the shelf. Politely I waited for her to place it and as I reached for it another lady (?) literally pushed me aside and grabbed all 3 bolts!! I told her I only need a yard or 2; she said "sorry, I'm taking it all" and she did!!! I didn't say anything but I was thinking I hope it fades, ravels, and shrinks LOL!

Grab it while you can get it because it may be once it is gone, it is gone for good.

JanRN I did get some Pirate fabric from Joann's online. I didn't see any at the Joann's in the South Hills. I feel for you about the lady? who did that to you. I've had that done to me before and I told her that my mother raised a lady and then, under my breath but loud enough for her to hear me, muttered wonder how proud her mother would be of the daughter she raised. The woman huffed and walked away. She was in front of me in line and she didn't have a coupon and I asked her if she would like mine because I wasn't going to be using it since she took all the fabric I wanted. Believe it or not she did take the coupon and the cashier said to her, "Oh how nice! Her mother raised a nice Lady." She left without even thanking me! Oh well, I sleep good at night!

Joann's will order the fabric for you in the amount you want. When I was making an NFL quilt for my daughter's friend, he is a big Oakland Raider fan, and so they ordered what I wanted and I was able to get partial yards for other teams at that time too and it was all on sale. They had a book I was able to go thru and pick what I needed.
