Thanks so much for posting that!!

I'll have to order it for our shop. There must have been rumors of this group floating around "out there", because we have had people asking about Dr. Seuss fabric, and I just assumed they were asking about ones that they'd seen on eBay, fabrics which went out of print years ago.

Again, another big thanks!

dkabasketlady 06-08-2010 08:16 AM

Fun fabrics!!! I'm sure lots of people will be buying this!

reach for the stars 2 06-08-2010 08:38 AM

I'm sure that will be a good seller.

Thanks for the head's up. Those would be so perfect for charity kids' quilts.

Would you be able to sell on pre-order? I saw one store that was doing that, but I never heard of them so I would be hesitant to do that. They said they wouldn't charge till it shipped, but ya never can be sure! :)

Yes, thanks for asking. I'm going to order the entire collection except for two that are only black-and-white (figuring that people would prefer the multi-color versions of the same designs).

I'm going to call Kaufman now, and once I find out what their price is, I'll know what we will have to charge. Fat Quarter Shop is going to be selling their yardage for $9.50 / yard but I'm sure we will be able to do better than that!

aliaslaceygreen 06-08-2010 08:59 AM

gonna be needing this.... oh, yeah, for my 'someday' childrens book quilt...

JanetM 06-08-2010 09:10 AM

Wish my girls were still little...they loved Dr. Suess!

amma 06-08-2010 09:10 AM

Oh Yeah!!!! :D:D:D Thank you for letting us know about these!!!

dglvr 06-08-2010 09:11 AM

Fun. I'll be on the lookout. I love Dr. Suess. Thanks :thumbup:

Oh yay!! Please post in this thread when you start pre-selling and I will start twisting hubby's arm. LOL Will you be able to hold off charging until they come out in September as well? That may convince him since that'll give me time to save up. :)

Cheers!

Those are so cool!

The first book my daughter learned to read was "The Foot Book". She just HAS to have a quilt made with this fabric! Thank you for posting, will be watching for preshipping sales!

1quilt_gma 06-08-2010 11:21 AM

I'll be watching!

Mamagus 06-08-2010 11:29 AM

Well that is one fabric line I will HAVE to buy. Can't you imagine a graduation gift of the book, "Oh the places you'll go" along with a quilt! My son will be awarded his master's degree soon and he's one who would love it! And there is DD who gets her teaching degree in August... oh the joy in my 'ittle heart right now!

craftybear 06-08-2010 12:36 PM

thanks, cute fabric

Favorite Fabrics 06-08-2010 01:33 PM

Apparently these were a HOT item at Quilt Market! I just got the (unhappy) word from Robert Kaufman that their first printing, due in early September, is already oversold, so they will be reprinting and they don't have an ETA for that yet.

So... if you want to get these fabrics as early as possible, you should look around now to find a place that's advertising September availability. And hope that the store you've found is not already oversold themselves!

I won't be able to get mine until the second printing, which I'm guessing will be in November. :-(

It's about time we got some Seuss fabric!
I will hunt it down - and make some stuff with it. I adore Seuss - and we will probably go to Universal Studios again next year so I'll make sure I make everyone an appliqued shirt - the hat made with those materials. I can already see it in my head! Yay!

I'm marking my calendar to look for it in September!

I love your idea, and this would be awesome for someone who has a child, grandchild, or friend that is graduating kindergarten also!

Janetlmt 06-08-2010 02:37 PM

I think I might have to get that fabric, my granddaughters favoirte book is One fish, two fish.

sunflower126 06-08-2010 03:15 PM

Well I'm going to have to make a quilt for my SIL. My daughter made him a Cat In The Hat costume several years ago for Halloween. He can tell the book word for word. On Dr. Suess's birthday he goes to the school and does a program for the younger kids. They love it and of course are young enough to think he is the cat in the hat. What fun he has.

So they won't even let you order for the second printing now? Bummer! :(

I did place my order, but it won't be filled until the second printing, and they did not have an ETA yet. I'll call Kaufman next week to talk to their buyer, the person who places the orders with the overseas mills. By then, she should have an actual date that they expect the fabric to be arriving, printed, at their warehouse.

I'm assuming that since this was such a hot seller at Quilt Market, they put in their order for reprinting very promptly. Serves me right for not going to Market this time, huh? If I would have gone, I would'a ordered at Market, and would have been in on the first printing! (sigh)

Rachel, this is a wonderful online store. I order from them all the time. If you order before 3:00 CST, your order is shipped that day.

Do you mean Favorite Fabric? If so, I am waiting to see if she will know what price she will be selling the fabrics for. I know that she won't get them till alter, but I don't want to have to spend time tracking them down, so I would still like to pre-order if I can. :) :) (Well depending on price and if my hubby agrees :) :) :) :))

Thank you for the review though, I have not ordered form her yet, but I guessed since she is so active here that she was reliable. :)

Cheers!

Debo 06-14-2010 08:10 AM

Rachel...I'm sorry.For some reason I was thinking that you were asking about the Fat Quarter shop.

athenagwis 06-14-2010 12:23 PM

Oh no problem!! :) I do like them too. They are a great shop to deal with. Sadly they are not doing pre-orders on the Dr. Seuss fabrics :( But I did get on their email list to be alerted when it becomes available.
