Not from a site, just a lady I found on CL., she's really nice and only sells the aprons she makes. She has tons of gorgeous fabrics for her aprons, but alas, not for sell. I can also send you the picture site I have it bookmarked, it shows all of her flannels. If you pay shipping she said she would sell it. She has not been selling it online. I was the first customer she had. Yay!!!!!!!!!

I donate to my local animal hospital for their surgery patients. I can also make some for the local Humane Society thanks for the idea.

I like to use flannel for quilt backing, even with having to piece it together. It's so warm & snuggly.

Love flannel

You can do so much with flannel. I back quilts and line my pants with it. Nities or pjs are also on the list. Happy sewing.

Since we're getting into the gift-giving season, what about making Christmas-tree skirts and giving them as gifts?

Flannel is always good for the backing on baby quilts. And while your at it, you could make a baby quilt out of flannels. So soft and cuddly warm. Just some ideas. Have fun sewing!
