Need help in finding vegetable fabric
 

Happy New quilting Year to all of you. I must be brain dead, or my brain has gone into a melt down mode. I am looking for charm packs of vegetables to make the jar blocks for a gardening friend of mine. I am just not finding what I am looking for. Anyone's brain functioning better than mine?

At quiltshops.com searching on "vegetables charm pack" only one pack comes up, by moda. But it isn't fussy cut. You may need to track down some Farmer's Market fabrics and fussy cut it. Hancock's has some veggies out there, too.
Blank Quilting has a panel of 10 veggies on 5" squares that I saw on that same website after searching on "vegetables". Good luck!!

There is also a Fabri-Quilt line called Farmer John's Marketplace and a Timeless Treasures Vegetables line--I don't know if they are available in charm packs; I used yardage for my vegetable quilt.

Great point - you could run into trouble with a charm pack. :(

The Moda one is "eat your fruits and veggies" by pat Sloan.

KQ has some unusual fruit batiks in the sale section. I've been intrigued by them. How they'd go with more realistic, "photo-type" prints, I'm not sure.

Nancy's Notions catalogue has tons of fruits and veggies.

I think www.fabric.com has food fabric on sale right now. You might want to check there.

Best bet is to swap with other quilters so you do not have to buy 12-15 different half yard cuts if you are only going to use one 5" square from each fabric. That is what some of the members do for the bug jars.

You could also ask your friend who lives in your town to check the hundreds of charms she's received from the swaps she's been in to check for vegetables. She might have some. She also might like to go to lunch Thurs. or Fri. and she could give them to you then.
Just a thought.

I had fat quarters of many fruit and vegetable fabrics -- used 98% of them in a log cabin quilt for my grandson. I collected fabric for several years!
