I’m looking for the Zanzibar Market quilt. When will it be available?
Hi Dixie, sorry for the delay, we were at a show this weekend. I hope to have the blog updated today.

I just ordered the Znazibar Market quilt kit. Would I be able to order backing fabic from you? I would really love the Multi-circle print on the back, but not sure where I will find this here in Milwaukee. I know I can try the Patched Works, but they don’t very ofter carry fabrics shown in the magazines – at least the fabrics I’ve looked for in the past. Thanks. I’ll take any suggestions you can give about this.
Would like to order the Zanzibar quilt kit mentioned in The Quilter also the backing material.
I ordered the quilt kit but did not find a place to order the backing for the Zanzibar Market quilt. I would like this if it is available.
Cynthia,
I talked with Donna and she has some of the fabric left. If you give her a call at 715.644.5563 she can tell you what she has and perhaps can work in a substitute for the ones that are not available.

Hello Donna,
If you contact Donna H at 715.644.5563 she may be able to help you find some of the fabrics. She does have a little left, and may be able to suggest substitutions if you are open to that .

Hello Pat,
(
I am afraid Donna is not able to get any more of the fabric for the Zanzibar quilt. Unfortunately she has to preorder based on how many kits she thinks she will sell, and this was a very popular quilt. You might find some at your local quilt shops, but I’m not sure you will be able to find all of those exact fabrics. You could, however, substitute similar colored fabric to get the same affect. Sorry I don’t have better news for you.
