    After the holidays, I am planning on making those fabulous tube pillowcases for each GC ( 6 of them) for all the different holidays. Does anyone know where I can find happy birthday fabric? Also, any Star wars fabric available? I have 5 GD and 1 GS. Can't make him anything "girly". Thanks for your help!

    I've had good luck with Fabric Shack and Hancock of Paducah when I've been looking for something in particular

    Your best bet for Star Wars fabric is usually ebay. To my knowledge, they haven't made any for several years. You could also post a wanted ad here in the classifieds. Maybe someone has some they would be willing to part with.

    Otherwise, there are some great "space" print fabrics I have seen at Joann's and the LQS. If you start looking, you will find many "boy" prints. :)

    Joann's has a gorgeous happy birthday fabric. Its black with bright colored balloons and confetti and Happy Birthday on it. I used it on the back of a quilt for my niece for her birthday.

    I recently saw some at Joann Fabrics. Do you have that store near you?

    Headed there in MD this weekend. Sometimes different stores carry a bit different fabric. Also going to try and hit a LQS there.

    Thanks for all the input.

    Merry Christmas
