Thanks for asking. I hope that this is ok to add to the thread. The scanner with my computer isn't working so I cannot post a photo, but I will describe the print that I am looking for as best I can. First off, it is shaded red poinsettias that are slightly darker toward the edges of the petals than in the center of them. They are on a dark solid black and there is no green in the print at all. There is gold metallic outlining the center vein and edges of the petals of the poinsettias.and silhouettes of holly leaves and berries twining thru the black background between the flowers. The flowers vary in size between 2 and 3" in diameter and have gold printed 1/2" centers that look like clusters of small circles. The flowers are spaced just over 1" apart. The fabric was purchased prior to 2015, but I haven't been able to locate my original sales slip, and don't remember where or when I purchsed it. All I have left are 2 small scraps that are less than 3 x3" and have no selvedge or maker marks on them. I am guessing that it may have been either a Hoffman or Timeless Treasures fabric, but that is pure speculation. I enlarged a tree skirt pattern made up of friendship braid wedges and when they were all done, I didn't have enough to complete the full circle. I have been asking everyone I can think of since 2017 if they have any fabric like that or have any additional information about it and have had no luck except one gal that happened to have one fat 1/4.for me. I will buy any size pieces of fabric that I can find that are over 3.75" x 7.5" or 3.75" squares. Yardage would be a dream come true!! haha I have auditioned adding alternate colored wedges between the finished ones and they all look like they were just slapped in to finish the tree skirt. Sorry that this so so long, but maybe someone out there has what I need and would be willing to part with this beautiful fabric.
