In my previous house I had a kitchen valance I made from some vintage-style dishtowels made by a company named Morgan Taylor. I loved that valance, but the buyer wanted it (plus it wouldn't have been near big enough for the window in my new kitchen).

The place I bought the dishtowels no longer carries any textiles, and I've looked everywhere, searched the internet, etc. I can find a set of 3 towels on ebay, but I need quite a few more. I'd really like to find some material or contact Morgan Jones about purchasing material. Unfortunately, I can't find a website for that company!

Anybody have any ideas? I'd really appreciate it.

I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for or not, but there is a place in Olympia that sells the dishtowel material by the yard - it's white with a color stripe along the edge - they have three different colors I think. Is this what you mean?

Thanks, but that's not it. What I'm looking for is a slightly off-white background with strips -- blue, red, yellow, and maybe even green -- running the long-way down the entire towel.

After posting yesterday, I found a material that will work. It's a Moda fabric, but they'll only sell it to me by 15 yd bolt (dh has a vendors license, so they'll sell to him). I only need 3 yards! So I'm going to contact a bunch of stores on their "store locator" thingy, starting with those closest to me. I've got the fabric number, so hopefully that will work. Thank goodness I have free long-distance!
