Last night I saw a beautiful quilt on here by collady called "My Pantry". I went to sleep last night thinking about what I would put into my jars! Question is this...where do I find all these different varieties of fruits and vegetables? I'm wanting to do mine with some of the things my Mom actually has canned like tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, peaches, pears, purple hull peas. Any ideas would be appreciated!

JoAnns's has a pretty good selection right now.
|
Mary Jo's has lots. She is in NC, but you can check out her web site.
http://maryjos.com/ Prices are good too. |
...also there is a veggie/edible swap going on right now that you may be interested in! :)

I have thought about making one of these. If I ever do I think I would probably just buy these charms. Not sure of the quality or anything but they look nice. LOL I am not into searching forever for things. This would be the quickest easiest way to get a bunch of fun fabrics.

http://cgi.ebay.com/3-RJR-Farmers-Market-Charm-Packs-114-5-Quilt-Squares-/310317538620?pt=US_Fabric&hash=item48405ddd3c Check out Fabric.com: http://www.fabric.com/SearchResults2...3-26a376046a5e They have a nice selection and so does Favorite Fabrics, who is a member here http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co...it_fabric.html |
I got some pretty cherry fabric at Joanne's some time ago. At that time they had a lot of fruit and veggies. Have to check them out since I still have a 50 percent coupon in my car. That sounds like a neat idea for a pretty quilt.

We have four different FQ bundles of fruit/vegetable fabrics available, two by RJR and two by Fabri-Quilt. All are nice, and all are different from each other: http://www.favoritefabric.com/cgi/co.../sr_packs.html
It's an easy way to get a nice variety all at once! |
I am currently hosting a 10.5 inch swap " I-Spy a picnic..Everything 'edible'.."
We are swapping 'food' fabric this month... |
I purchased some of mine at my LQS, others I purchased at different quilt conventions/shows. Each time I go I see more that would look great "canned". I better get going on making my jar quilt soon or I might end up with enough fabrics to make 10 jar quilts!!!!
Numa just posted a "bountiful blessings" quilt of jars, crates and baskets of fruits and veggies. It really is awesome. |
I wonder... Now this is a little different idea. If you knew someone who actually has these CANNED fruilts and veggies.. took a picture, placed on your material. put in your jars. and called it mom's canning quilt??? :) Would be totally different than any one else has (I think) :)
|
Joanns had at least 15 different fruit/veggie prints when I was there today. All grouped together in one section
|
I am going to start shopping at Favorite Fabrics. Support your friends. Great veggie fabric.
|
Thanks to everyone for all the great ideas! Surely between Joanns and my online options I'll be able to find just the right fruits and veggies!
