Thank you, Wendy! Never thought of looking in another country.... lol.
"Braves Fan" found exactly what I was looking for, but I'm going to save
your seach link, just in case.

Hi Patti,
this is the link for my search on Google Australia. When you do your
search in www.Google.com, it predominately searches the US sites first,
with www.Google.com.au I can make a choice to search Australian sites
first and the UK is probably the same....our UK friends would be able to
set me straight on that. So this link is the Aussie sites that are
carrying Laurel Burch fabrics. Here's hoping that someone has a bolt of
it tucked away somewhere.

I'm so glad Braves found your fabric and thank you for letting us know of
the success. Ahhhhh, yes. That's good. Polly

Thank you, Polly. I usually use Google, but I'll try yours. Google
brought up a bunch of stuff on Ebay, which I've never used, and don't
care to try at this time. I'll try your method, I may get lucky!

There are ways to exclude ebay in your search. One of them is to add
-ebay the same way you would add +something to get more specific
results from a search.

Example:
I want to look for cat prints without ebay listings so I type the
following in the search box:
cat fabric -ebay

Or, I know the name of the print so type:
fabric "Cat Snacks" -ebay

yup, there is google.co.uk, if you don't select uk sites only the result
s are different to what google.com gives, I'm not quite sure what
algorithm they use, bizarrely, I've been known to be unable to find a US
based site from google.com for it to be near the to on google.co.uk. I
wish google.com had a restrict to US sites, as a couple of thing I've
been looking to mailorder recently came up with a mix of UK and US sites
when I only wanted US ones.
