Strange Fabric Request
I have an almost going on 3 GD that is enthralled with - of all things - porcupines! Uh huh, porcupines. DD & DSIL have taken GD to the Nashville Zoo & the St Louis Zoo at least 5 times in the last 2 yrs. She loves the rodent! DD goes to UTube and GD sits and watches the postings of porcupines there. I've searched but only have found hedge hogs on fabrics. Would anyone know where I could purchase fabric with porcupines on it. I've even searched under the words "woodland creatures" but the racoon or skunk comes up but not the p'pines. Surely someone has noticed this odd animal on fabric somewhere! Many hands make light the work, maybe many great minds on the same wave length (quilting) will prevail! Thank you!

Then use the transferred design as the centerpiece of a quilt or whatever you had in mind to create.
