Thanks, but I don't think that will be necessary, because I've gotten
several pointers to online sources to what is probably the same fabric. Julia in MN Neeej wrote: Does the selvedge have any information about the fabric -- manufacturer, fabric line, etc.?

If you want, I could scan a pic & email it to you---mebbe try to find some locally if it's still around. -- Jean S -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://mail.chartermi.net/~jaccola/ |

I am amazed by the quick responses to my question about steam engine
fabric. My friend's son owns an antique steam engine such as was used in the early 1900's for agricultural purposes, such as powering threshing machines. The fabric you found seemed to be more trains, but I think it would please her, and I plan to order some for her. Now I am wondering how you found it so quickly? A quick search in google didn't do it for me. Is there a general fabric search web site? Or do you have favorite online fabric stores that you turn to? Or had you just happened to see this fabric before? Julia in MN -- This message has been scanned for viruses by Norton Anti-Virus http://mail.chartermi.net/~jaccola/ |

Julia in MN There are a few search resources, of varying applicability depending on whether you're looking for new or old fabric... http://www.fabshophop.com/ (follow the FabSearch link. Search participating shop inventories, web-search shop sites, or post request to 900+ shops.) http://www.missingfabrics.com/ (post request for many quilters & shops to view on web site.) http://www.fabrics.net/ (Similar to missingfabrics, but replies from shops only (unless I'm mistaken.)) http://froogle.google.com/ (worth a shot if you can't find it elsewhere. Not a fabric-only search by a long shot, so you may have to play with your search terms. By default only shows one item per shop in results, but includes "See all results from..." links to see more.)

Hi all, we carry this fabric in stock at http://www.equilter.com at this link:
http://equilter.com/cgi-bin/p.pl?p=35153 Sincerely, Paul Rubin http://www.equilter.com Toll Free: (877) FABRIC-3 or: (303) 527-0856 Fax: (303) 527-0042 Julia in MN wrote in message ... I was at a quilting retreat the last 2 days and one of the women asked the rest of us to keep our eyes open for fabric with steam engines on it. Have any of you ever seen anything like that? I do plan to do some Internet searching when I have a little more time, but thought someone might have seen some and could save me some time. By the way, I had a good time, as always, at the retreat. We have a new building for our retreat in this year, with more room, good lighting, and big windows overlooking a gorgeous view of the hills in SE MN. Also nice sleeping rooms in the same building. I'm almost done with the paper pieced autumn leaves wall quilt that I started last month in our guild's workshop with Carol Doak. All I have left is the borders. Julia in MN |
