I have a couple of pieces of fabric that I love. Adore. Want more of. I reach for this increasing smaller piece of fabric all the time. But for the life of me, I don't know how to find it. I don't know the name of the pattern or the maker so google hates me. I can't ask at the store, they recently closed down. There are no markings on the fabric to point me in a direction. My only local options are JoAnnes or Hancocks and I have already looked there. So what do I do? Does anyone have ideas? Here they are....    |

I would try some of the on-line stores and see if you can at least narrow it down. Hancock of Paducah, EQuilter, Keepsake Quilting, I'm sure there are others, but I can't think of them right now.

How old is the fabric...You could try this link www.quiltshops.com/search.htmput in your description/word/color etc and then click on 'thumbnails' and it will bring up little pictures of fabric that meets your description. It is helpful! |

Can you post a picture? I would go to a board like quiltingboard.com and post a pic of it. People do that a lot and there are often others that know the name of the pattern, at the very least.

I have always used google. It might take a bit but I usually find what I'm looking for. Post a picture of it!!

Post a picture of it here and chances are good someone will know the pattern/company. Are there any marks or writing on the selvedge? Once you know more, you can search on eBay or Etsy, as well as the online fabric stores. In the meantime you could google with a description of the fabric (ex: blue paisley with yellow) then look at Google Images. I've actually been able to identify vintage fabrics that way before! Do you have any idea of where it was purchased? I purchased it in a quilt shop about a year ago. Unfortunately they have gone out of business since then so I can't ask them what it was or if they still have it. I will take a picture of it and post it here...maybe one of y'all will recognize it! Thank you! |

Well, I have no clue as to why the pictures are so huge...I resized and everything. LOL
There are no markings, nothing at all.

Yes!
but it doesn't tell me the manufacturer? Should I know that so that I can figure out if I can get it closer to home?

Yes!! Thank you! I think that will help enormously!!! I am almost positive that I bought them all at the same time, and they all came from the same display. I didn't buy them by the yard, they were precut into ... I don't know the size, but bigger than a fat quarter I think. I don't quilt, but play with fabrics and those made me happy so I bought them. I am almost out though, and wanted to replace them.
Thank you so much for your help! Maybe for my birthday I can get someone to buy them for me. LOL

Those are '30s reproduction fabrics, for whatever that's worth ... they were very popular 10 years ago and may still be. I've been out of the loop. (Used to work in the quilting industry but alas, no more.)

www.hancocks-paducah.com used to be a great resource for finding fabrics ... they carried everything. I'm on my phone or I'd check it out for you.

(Used to work in the quilting industry but alas, no more.) Probably why I like them so much...I am a big fan of most things "vintage" and tend to be drawn toward those types of patterns/fabrics. Wish I could buy it all. LOL |

I see someone already found them for you- but for future reference, I took your pictures and used Google reverse image search and found them immediately.

LOL My boy is out of town, but as soon as he gets home I have a list of things that I have recently run into online that I need to learn-he is pretty good about teaching me without making teenage angst faces.
