I have stamped train curtains for my sons' room. A simple, bold image works best, I think.

I had a friend back in Baltimore who made all sorts of crazy clothes using rubber stamps and vintage printers' blocks. I'm not sure how he did it. I believe he used textile inks.
I've done loads of stencilling on fabric, and I love the products made by Pro Chemical and Dye.

Here's a sample of some of the oversized work I've done:

I like Stampin' Up products. They have a nice selection of quality rubber stamps and inks. They also have bigger stamps that you can use to stamp on walls and such. They have regular ink pads and ink pads that they call Stays-On. I would imagine these would work great on textiles.

UMass? The proc-chemical and dye is sort of local to you!

I carve rubber blocks for textiles often. I stamp with just about any media - acrylic paint, thickened Procion dyes, thickened bleach, any range of block printing and fabric paints. I've even been known to take rubbings off them. The thinner blocks are really cool, because you can selectively print areas of the same block by bending away the part you don't want to print. Are you familiar with Ruth Issett's books? They will give you huge ideas.
