    Angry am I looking for the impossible?

    My sister collects the blue willow pattern dinnerware.I'm looking for some fabric like or similar to it.
    I know I have seen it online and I didn't bookmark it DUH. The blue and white fabric that I have seen on some of the online sites and my LQS just don't plz me.
    any ideas on where else to look? I could kick myself for not bookmarking. ooooooooooooooo

    I saw a collection in the Hancocks of Paducah catalog last fall that looked very much like Blue Willow. I don't remember what the collection was called though.

    A single color print fabric in a style similar to the willowware, is calle 'toile' (pronounced twoll).
    If you google toile quilting cotton there are lots of hits. Don't know if you are are going to actually find willows, but might find something similar.

    You sound a lot like me - I decide I want a specific pattern or design then have to figure out if someone actually makes it!

    Here's an interesting fabric, I know it's not the blue willow you are looking for but, maybe could be used some how.
