Try GlacierQuilts.com. They are in Kalispell, MT. She will coordinate for you, pack it up nice and ship it right away. I got Tons of Flannel from her. Her name is Suzie, and I think she is a doll. Now all I have to do is get to Montana to meet her.

Another thought. Go to Goodwill or other thrift stores in your area and look at men's flannel shirts. A lot of them are in really good condition and you can get a lot of fabric out of the back, front (below the pockets (unless you want to use the pockets for an embellishment), and the sleeves. It's especially good when they have their "sale days.' I.e., all of their blue tags ($3.00) items are on sale for $1. Look for the XXXLs!

JoAnn Fabric Etc store usually have a larger selection than the regular JoAnn stores. Also try EBAY. I have found nice hard to find fabrics there. If you can find a Walmart with a full fabric dept, ask the manager if she can order some fannel. The manager at our Perry Georgia Walmart was able to order some for me about 2 yrs ago.
