Fabric identification
 

Hello,

http://www.quiltsbyladyzoe.com/store...097943368.html

I'm trying to locate where some fabric was manufactured. I was hoping some quilters on this board may recognise the fabric or could have purchased the fabric in the past and may be able to pass on information they know so i can track down the company who distributed it.

The reason im asking is, Last month a little girls remains were found in a suitcase on the side of the road in Australia and she was wrapped up in a quilt. A childs i spy quilt, some of the fabrics have been identified but one of the fabrics is very distinct and it might not have been sold to many stores in Australia.

You can read more about it here. http://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/s...-1227457115935

The distinct fabric Im trying to get details about was located on a ladies blog from kansas who used it in one of her quilts, but we haven't been able to get any more information.

Any information would be really helpful, And i hope this post is allowed and hasn't upset anybody.

It is the Camel fabric im trying to get information on...

Thanks

I believe this webpage has the same quilt on it. http://www.quiltsbyladyzoe.com/store...097943368.html

Edited to add: Oops! I didn't realize this is where your picture came from. Probably no help at all.

Sorry, I tried all the various searches I could think of (including image search) and I found nothing at all.

Good luck, I hope someone else has better luck finding this!

OMG I've found it here and if you contact this lady she maybe able to tell you where or who made the fabric
http://rcquilting.blogspot.ca/2014/0...ry-quilts.html It looks like the post was made in March 2014..

Thanks for the replies.

and awesome, great work tiny.... thankyou!!! i will email her now.

Still looking for more info if anyone is reading.

I did have some of that fabric about 7 years ago. I purchased mine from a shop called Abakhan. This shop sells lengths of fabric, with the price depending on the weight of the fabric piece/s you select.
If I can I'll see if I can find a piece a had left. Unfortunately I have bee n reducing my stash and it may have gone. Will post. Again tomorrow.

Put my hand on it straight away. Hope this helps.

Thankyou so much dotty, I hope this info can help in some way. really appreciate you doing that. Do you know where the store Abakhan is?

http://www.abakhan.co.uk/ Is this the store?

Abakhan is a cheap shop which sells most of its fabric by weight and it is in lengths over 1 metre. They also sell other craft produce at cheaper prices . It is no use expecting to find the same fabric again

I purchased it ax few years ago for a themed Egypt quilt.

Somewhere re I have in my mind that there are shops in India or Pakistan but it's only an inkling.

With th the info I supplied you can contact manufacturer and see if they can tell you where they shipped this line to and if they know which shops. Computers should be able to do that considering the circumstances.

good luck in your search and hope it helps.

Timeless treasures is a family based business based in New York. Wll not search further as more searching should be your end.

Contact info - https://ttfabrics.com/contact-us/

Yes, they are a well know fabric manufacturer in the US. Not sure how they can help with the trail you are seeking but I wish you the best of luck.

I bought a piece of that fabric in West St. Paul, Minnesota - I think it was sometime between 1999 - 2002.

Egyptian camel fabric
 

Timeless Treasures may have old records that show who they sold the fabric to in Australia. It might be worth it to them to solve the death of a child and that may narrow it down a little. Or maybe the shop may remember who they sold it to or maybe someone in that town is missing a child. I'm trying to think of anything that might help.

Once again I am amazed at the wealth of knowledge the people on this board have and the willingness they have to share it. To identify the fabric, maker, and give contact information so quickly is astonishing.

I pray this information will help identify this child and discover her story.

Thankyou for your reply dotty and im so sorry i didn't reply sooner, Your information was so useful i was able to find out the Australian distributor for this fabric straight away and email them. It was a great help and so nice of you to find that fabric and post the pic for me. :thumbup:

Thanks vernal you are correct, they distribution company never sold this fabric in australia though. They might have distributed fabric sample books though. Thankyou

Yes jane i couldn't agree with you more.

Once again i want to say thankyou to everyone who replied.

Alot of the fabric has now been identified but we don't have a name or make for this one still.
