i have been to nearly all the textile shops and souqs in Doha(at least it feels like it) and cannot find calico, batting or quilting cotton. can anyone tell me if these things are obtainable and if not which shop will be the best to approach to ship some in?

Have you tried Jarir book store on salwa road? I got mine from there, on the ground floor ,where they have craft supplies.

I also ran all over Doha until I e-mailed the president of the Qatar Quilters who told me that batting was not available here. I just had a small job so I used a mattress pad that I cut down.

You would probably be better ordering from the internet, I don't think you will find these things in Doha. Have you tried Al-Fredoni ?
