I'm really hoping that someone has come across this in their travels. I am looking for "ruler" or "tape measure" fabric that I can use in an eye spy quilt. Has anyone seen anything like this? I'd like to order it on-line.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Sewsilly,

I saw some of this a few weeks ago at the Len's Mills store in Kitchener ... http://www.lensmill.com

I don't know that they do online orders, but might be worth a call :)

Cheers,
Linda

Try online search for Wee Play American Jane Moda.

AT my LQS we have some tape measure fabric but it doesn't look like this.

littlehud 03-07-2010 05:21 PM

That is cool fabric. It would be great in a I spy quilt.

spinnergs 03-07-2010 07:53 PM

Could you just print it on fabric? I do that sometimes when I want something special.

I keep running into one that is totally red/darker cranberry in color for under $5. The one FancyFoot found on eBay looks much more relistic. I haven't seen your colors in a major internet shop for a long time.

Try Hayloft Fabrics
and be sure to use the word 'rulers' in the search.
Their fabric isn't exactly like yours but might be acceptable.

if you find it let us know wher and how much PLEASE

I got some of this fabric only it was all black and white, no other colors. I got it from Keepsake Quilting.

A friend of mine was making a sewing quilt and needed some more of that exact print - it is discontinued :(

I would try Ebay if you want that exact print.
I was looking for it for her it over a year ago and it had already been discontinued. I was only able to find it in the wrong color lol... but that was a long time ago..

I bought a pattern similar to this a hancock fabrics. It was a few years ago.

Wow, you guys are all so helpful. I didn't think I'd get many responses, yet look at this. I'm blown away. Thanks everyone. I'm going to follow up on each lead.
Aren't quilters wonderful people?!!!

I closed down my quilt shop, and I have this fabric. Let me know if you still need it and how much.

mountain deb 03-09-2010 07:14 AM

I just checked, I have about 8 yds at $5.00 / yd. Plus s/h. As soon as I get dh to help show me how to put some of that fabric on this site, I do so.

mountain deb 03-09-2010 07:19 AM

I have about 8 yds at $5.00/yd plus s/h. This is what is on the selvedge "building blocks by American Jane Patterns Sandy Klop for Moda."

don't you just love Lens? My closest is Hamilton, but we make special trips to the Kitchener/Cambridge area often. I'm in Oakville and don't see a fellow Ontarioian online very often.

wendiq 03-09-2010 01:14 PM

How much do you need. I have some of this.

kacie 03-09-2010 01:56 PM

I have some scraps of it. How much do you need?

I saw some of this available this morning on one of the shophop sites. May last name starts with a D and I visited all the D's and a few of the E's.

N.J.linda 03-09-2010 05:35 PM

try this site http://www.equilter.com/cgi-bin/webc...11110354239.9f

sewsilly 03-09-2010 06:36 PM

I'm hoping that Mountain Deb can help me out. She says she has some available. I'll get back to you.
Thanks again for all your kind offers.

jquilts4u 03-09-2010 08:12 PM

I found some at Wal-Mart just a few day's ago.

Horsestitcher 03-10-2010 04:24 AM

Ah, at last I've found you. I found this fabric on www.theblackapple.typepad.com. If you have trouble connecting, just google in "tapemeasure print fabric" and it will come up somewhere in the first five or six listings. Good luck.

JenniePenny 03-11-2010 12:07 PM

If you still need some of this, I saw some at my local store while getting something else for my current project. I am in NH. Price is 8.99 per yard. I checked the selvedge to get information - it is made by Timeless Treasues and the design number (of the bolt in the store- which may or may not be the same as what you need) is 5525. Maybe this will help in an on-line search.
