Desperate! Don't let my dream fabric slip through my fingers!

I've had lots of good luck before with everyone helping me to find fabrics. I have this fabric that I bought somewhere or got at a quilt guild fabric sale; it's only a half yard. It's been hanging above my sewing machine and today I looked at it and decided I was going to try and find it and buy more. I haven't had any luck but I've seen the magic that some of you have with web searches. Crossing my fingers!

The name on the selvedge is Cute as a Button by Cheri. From the fabric I have found on searches with that name, this must be a company name. I really have no idea what this particular line or fabric is called.

Here's a picture and thank you, thank you, thank you!

Boy, that is so familiar. Can't think why I know it, it's not my style at all. Is it from Connecting Threads perhaps? Wish their site had an archive of discontinued patterns. :rolleyes:

I just discovered that Cheri Strole designed for South Seas Imports/MM before moving to Northcott....yoiu might try either of those for this fabric.

I bought some "Cute as a Button" fabric similar to yours, a fat quarter pack in pinks & aquas in the late 90s. All that is left on the selvage is Cheri. I spent over 10 years looking for similar fabric to finish this quilt. Cheri has a look that I would call Shabby Chic. Good Luck

I Googled and found Grateful Goose website. A lot of cute button print fabric. Didn't go through all the pages but a lot of button print similar but not same print.

Do a search on eBay. Follow the search. I found poinsettia fabric that I needed to add more things to my poinsettia ensemble (no, I haven't started it yet, but I have enough fabric now). There may be nothing right now, but eBay will email you daily (if there is anything). It may show up.

Hi Jan!

Thanks for narrowing it down to South Seas Imports. I did find a piece of fabric that had the same style as my fabric, but no luck in finding the same fabric. At least it gave me more avenues to search. I didn't have any luck with Northcott!

Sometimes you just have to start dreaming new dreams. There's a huge wide world of fabric out there waiting to be loved.
