as Keepsake does not produce their own fabric, do you know who the actual maker is?

I don't know the actual maker, but Amish black is commissioned by Keepsake, made to their specifications, and is sold only by them.

Green Fairy has full bolts of Moda Bella on sale right now for about $89 with free shipping. Ends in the next day or two. I buy bolts of white from them regularly.

Hancock's of Paducah...free shipping orders over $75. I've ordered several bolts this year. Kona cotton is my "solids" choice.

It's important to me to have a true black, and that's hard to find, even harder if you're buying online. I've been very pleased with Amish black.

I too buy mine from Keepsake Quilting. I used to buy by the bolt, but last time they only had 3 yard packages so I bought 3 packages. Love that true black!
