My DD and her husband are runners. They run 1/2 marathons and relays. Does anyone know where I might purchase some fabric with runners on it? I checked eBay, but probably didn't use the right description. Thanks!

The second one is on backorder right now, but should be back in stock in about two weeks.

My daughter runs marathons. I made her a quilt many years ago with a fabric with pink sneakers and quilted the outline of sneakers in the borders. I'll try to get a pick of it but I am sure the fabric is real old. She started running at 11 and is now 23 :)

I bought material with runners at Hayloft Fabrics in Morgantown, PA. They do have an online service. It's listed under sports fabric. It's black with white runners--I don't know how to post the picture. Timeless Treasures Item #: SPORT-C8294 Black
Item Name: Runners

Unfortunately, I found nothing about runners on bearpawquilting.com. Bummer! Thanks, though.

Hmmm ..... for some reason the link I just posted is not working ...... anyway just go to quiltshops.com and type in runners or marathon runners in their search .... something will show up.
