Looking for fabric for grandson's quilt
 
Hi! I want to make a graduation quilt for my grandson. He will be studying technology at university so I thought that a quilt on that theme would be good. I have seen some fabric that would be ideal but it has not been available at any of places I checked. It is Robert Kaufman, plug & play...specifically the black background and the black & white keyboard. Sound familiar to any of you? I'd appreciate any help I can get or any other suggestions for that theme. Thanks!

Check online at www.quiltshops.com - it is a browser site for many quilt shops - when I am looking for something specific, I have had lots of luck finding what I need.

Thank you! I'll check that out.

I saw these. Do they help?

This vendor uses computer keyboard fabric so she may be able to tell you where to find some.

The first one is exactly what I was looking for!...even though there was only one yard, I was ordering it 11.23 for the fabric...until I saw that I was being charged $24.96 for shipping!! I am in Canada but ,I imagine you will agree.....that is crazy shipping charge!
Thanks so much for trying for me.

Try listing the fabrics you need at missingfabrics.com. Even a description will do for a listing. The posts go "everywhere" and I've had some success in finding fabric I needed. It would be worth a try and the shipping is not astronomical. $24.95 is a lot. :-)

Is this plug and play fabric the same one? https://www.etsy.com/ca/listing/2034...man?ref=market

I am not sure how old Plug and Play is but I found some fabrics from that line on eBay. You have a BIG disadvantage being located in Canada.

Two sellers are located in the UK. Don't know if that helps or not.

Have you tried Hamel's in BC or Sew Sisters in Toronto ON - each of them have a fairly large inventory?

I have a one yard piece of a dark grey fabric called "Back Talk" by Maria Kalinoski of Canvas. It is a Benartex fabric. It is black keyboards with red letters and also phone key pads. I probably paid $6-7 on sale.
PM me if you want to figure out some shipping.
