Crafty ladies....best place for fabric

kms34kms34
in Omaha Nesties

Now that we know #2 is a boy I want to get started on E's big boy room (we are leaving the nursery as is).  I want to have MIL, my mom or someone make a quilt for him.  What is the best place for fun, striped fabric?  Online or local is fine.  I'm looking for something modern....not old lady-ish.

TIA!

    When I was making stuff for my wedding I got all my fabric at Joann's. I think the one on Center closed but there is still one in town I believe and I know Lincoln has a store too. If you go online sign up for their email. You get 40% off coupons all the time. It said per yard of fabric but I went in and bought a ton of fabric for our centerpieces and tulle for decoration and they gave it to me all at 40% off. The ladies that work there were super helpful too.

    The one on Center is open--it's right by T2B.  I ordered all the fabric we wanted for Jude online, a lot of what I found locally was grandma-y.  Cosmic Cow in Lincoln has some modern stuff too (and the online stuff I told you about too, K).

    I don't think Joann's has that high of quality of fabric.  Online is your best bet if you want quality.  Of course, with quality comes cost.  I found some super cute stuff at Spoonflower.

    I second Cosmic Cow in Lincoln. They have some really cool/modern fabric. It's really hit or miss everywhere, IMO though. I went to every fabric store I could find when I was looking for A's bedding and ended up finding it at the Calico house in Lincoln...

    First off, Joann's coupons are always off total, I have never seen "per yard" :)

    And I would try Country Sampler for some modern prints. Go in and head to your right, behind the checkout. Lots of Michael Miller, etc. They are expensive though (like 9.99/yd) and don't ever have coupons :(
