that looks like a row of books on a shelf? I want to use a fabric that looks like a row of books as a border for a wall hanging I'm making for the library where I work. I've checked locally and some online but it's a hard one to search for. Any help you can give is greatly appreciated!

No, but I have a pattern that makes a bookcase full of books. If you're interested, I'll look it up and let you know where I got it. My sister is a librarian and it's on my list to make for her library.

Yes, I have seen it..... No, I'm not sure where. It was a neat fabric and would make a lovely border!

Thanks LoisN. That would be great if you have the time. I don't know if it will work for this project but it would be a good pattern to keep on hand for a future project. Thanks again!

Yes there definately is some. I did a quick search but came up empty, but it is available somewhere.

Try using this link to search numerous shops at one time:

Good Luck

Timeless Treasures used to make a bookshelf fabric, but it went out of print several years ago. If you're lucky you might be able to find some on eBay. Perhaps knowing the name of the manufacturer will be of some help.
