    Default Needle in a haystack...fabric

    I found exactly the fabric I wanted and I THOUGHT I bookmarked it but now it's not there and I cannot remember where I saw it.
    I'm hoping for two things....1...that posters here can tell me the names of favourite on line shops that let you search by colour and 2...that someone may recognize my vague description.....The fabric is cream and black with a sort of English feel to it and maybe birds? It has matching border fabric.

    As I was saying, a needle in a haystack!

    With birds...fabric designed by 3 sisters usually have birds but I don't see anything in black.

    Hope you can find that needle.

    Try going back into your computer's history. On my Windows 10 computer, I can mouse-hold on the back arrow to get to history. If you have any idea which day it was that you saw the fabric, that will narrow down your scrolling. At the very least you can jot down every fabric website you visited in recent days and weeks.

    Also try Googling and click on "images" to see if you can recognize the fabric. Try variations of terms when you Google, with anything you can remember. I Googled "cream and white fabric with birds" and came up with these images:

    Oops! Here's the "cream and black fabric with birds":

    If you like batiks, Fabric Fanatics lets' you search by color and their sale section is always very large, too.

    Yes, it is a needle in a haystack. Check your history on your search engine such as Chrome, Window or Firefox.

    I don't recognize the description but I know that http://www.equilter.com/color and http://www.thousandsofbolts.com/ will let you search by color and carry a lot of brands.

    Sorry no help here unless you go to Pinterest and search black and cream fabric.

    Hope one of those has the pattern you want. I think most quilting sites allow you to search by color.
