The Wizard of Oz fabric was perfect! I’m working on wall decor for my granddaughters room featuring Wizard of Oz panels and was specifically looking for this pattern for my project. I was skeptical ordering from a JR Fabrics in Australia because of the distance and length of time it might take to receive the fabric. JR Fabrics shipped my order right away, I was alerted several time as to where the package was being processed and was very surprised to be notified when the package landed in the United States. I was very impressed by the latter and would highly recommend purchasing from this store.

Benartex material is high quality fabric and this is no exception. This design is more beautiful that any computer screen can convey. It is hard to find and I am glad I was able to locate this!
