Fabric for quilt
 

I am trying to find a fabric line from Keepsake quilting from 2012. It is called Zen garden batiks medley. My son and ddil loved it and I couldn't order at the time and now want it to make them a quilt. Any ideas where I might find this line? I googled it and nothing has come up. I do not know the manufacturer. Thanks for any help anyone can give me. I hope you all are having a wonderful new year so far. typical winter here. But that's ok......this too shall pass! lol!

You can try ....... quiltshops.com and put the name of this fabric line in the search area.

there are some on ebay, but small rolls. might not be enough for a quilt. but it's easy to find batiks that go together. you can try Hoffman or Tonga collections too.

Thanks for the tip. I went there and typed in Zen Garden and yielded no results. That's what I've gotten most places. It is the fabric line that was used to make the Labyinth quilt in keepsake quilting for 2012. I guess my only hope is if someone bought the kit or fabric and didn't use it. Maybe someone will read my post and have it! that would be a yippee! Thanks for the suggestions!

The manufacturer is Mirah. Here is a site with some of their fabrics. Don't know if any of these are from the Zen Garden collection but maybe this is a start for you.

Here's the website with an e-mail address at the bottom, maybe they can help you locate the line:

Those are Princess Mirah batiks. They are really nice fabrics. She used to have a warehouse in the town nearby, and they had warehouse sales on occasion. The first time I found the place the sample room manager was selling off discontinued fabric for $2 a yard. I bought $40 dollars worth of fabric and thought that was a lot, then thought some more and called her back, but she said someone else bought about $400 of the discontinued fabric. I tried to get in touch with her a few times after but never heard back – I guess she was no longer there. How I wish I had bought more fabric at the time, although 20 yards is plenty, of course, but still – batiks!

Thank you to all who have answered and tried to help me out. Unfortunately, I sitll cannot find the particular medley from keepsakequilting mag. I will keep looking. I emailed one place I visited (already forgotten which site it was) and maybe they can help me find it. Again, thank you all! This board is the best!

Batik fabric for Labyrinth quilt from keepsake quilting
 

I am posting a different post so maybe others will have the info I am seeking. This quilt is in the 2012 spring edition of Keepsake Quilting newsletter. It is on page 13. The fabric I want is on page 8 of the same catalog. The quilt kit has Debbie Maddy's directions. There is no other info on the fabric as to manufacturer or designer. I wish they had put the name of the manufacturer! Anyway, if you have made this or have the fabric to make this kit please let me know. You might can give me the name off the selvage of the fabric. I could contact the company and see if it is still available. If not, I will begin visiting shops online to try to put this quilt together. My hesitation about ordering online is the colors are not always that true and I also like to see the different pieces together before working on it. I shoulda, coulda, woulda, you know how that goes! Thanks for anyone who can offer help! I do appreciate it.

Here's the thing about Keepsake Quilting (it's local for me), they never, ever disclose the manufacturer of the fabrics they sell. It's so you don't go buy it somewhere else. Even in the shop itself, the bolt ends are covered over with stickers to prevent you from seeing the source of the fabric. Furthermore, if you bought it as a kit from them in 2012, odds are just about zero that KQ still sells whatever fabric they used in the kit even if you knew the manufacturer's name.

Your best bet, if online shopping for batiks is too risky for you, is to try to find fabrics locally that will work to your satisfaction. Sorry.

Batiks don't have information on the selvages since it is a dying process and not printing. I'm with ghostrider, your best bet is to shop locally for fabrics that will work for you.

The Labyrinth quilt is beautiful in Northcott fabric. I'd suggest Google to get an idea.

If it's the standard Labyrinth pattern, I bought the pattern at either a show or LQS and added whatever fabric I wanted.

I don't do kits as I prefer to pick out my own fabric.

This one has everything mixed in.

Can you take a picture of the fabric from m the catalog or an online source? There is a website named www.missingfabrics.com that you could post the picture of along with your description and see if anyone has it who would be willing to sell it to you. I had great success with this site when I was looking for a batik jelly roll that had been discontinued for a couple of years. Within just two or three days a lady posted saying she had it and sold it to me.

Well that explains a lot! Thanks so much for the info. I live in the "boonies" as they say and only two quilt shops within 50 miles and I don't drive myself in traffic anymore so that's why I haven't gone looking. But I guess this is my only option left. I was hoping some of those who've made this quilt could give me the info but no one has responded in that way. That's one reason I started another post but QuiltnNan moved it here so now fewer people will see it. Another thing to clarify this, I was mistaken to say the kit was made from this fabric. I actually don't know what fabric was in the quilt kit. But in the same catalog was the Zen Garden medley that we wanted and it is very similar to the fabric they did use. Maybe I can contact Debbie Maddy somehow and she will answer with the info. I didn't see the fabric on the Princess Mirah site so maybe it is all gone. Thanks to all who have even read this and responded. I do appreciate all you shared. Have a good one everybody! And a blessed new year!

That is beautiful Weezy! I love this pattern and can't wait to make it. I don't have batiks in my stash so this will require a major purchase and I am just not that sure of online fabrics. Thanks for showing me yours. I love it!
I don't like kits either although I have made two and they turned out quite well. One from keepsake quilting and one from Craftsy. Although I did have a couple of problems with them. I like to buy the fabric also knowing I can go back and get more if I needed to. Thank you again.

okay thank you. I thought there was a site to look for older fabric but didn't know the name of it. Thank kuo Pahega. I will give it a try.

The Northcotts are probably the correct fabrics but you cannot order from them. Thanks for the suggestion. Stonehenge may make the collection I think. not sure.

Was that in Napa?

I think you missed the point. I wanted to make sure it was the same Labyrinth. I bought just the pattern with NO kit.

It does give separate cut yardage amounts per fabric.

If you want the separate pattern, you can have it.

I go by color schemes. I love the colors of the desert southwest. I will mix fabric from everywhere including batiks if they fit.

Calico Carriage Quilt Designs has/had the pattern.

Yes i too have the pattern.....for about a year or longer. Just didn't order the fabric we (ddil and son) liked when I got the pattern and now cannot find that particular collection. I too mix fabrics cause like I said I'm not crazy about kits. Thanks for all your help and the offer of the pattern. I hope to be able to get somewhere to look at fabric soon. I was just hoping someone had made it and knew which collection it was. Thanks to all who offered help.

Will this help:

In Sonoma. I think they closed their offices in the U.S., or at least in Sonoma County.
