Discontinued Fabric availability

Very much a long shot this...but has anyone seen Annabell 28 count ice-blue fabric available any where?
I know it's been discontinued but maybe in some far corner of a shop there may be some lurking.
It's pure cotton but had a 'slubby' weave to imitate linen, but doesn't have the irritating very thin threads that linen sometimes has. It's also a lot less expensive than linen.
Any info would be helpful then maybe I'll be able to purchase the last bits. I like to use ice-blue for childrens' pieces.
Ta, Girls!

This site still mentions Ice Blue (scroll down to Annabelle, then choose from the drop-down menu) -- it's American, but so far it's the only one I've been able to find.

I may have some as well, and as I've got plenty of ice blue Jobelan which I'm happy to use instead, if I do still have it I'll get it off to you over the weekend.

I couldn't find mine, checked my fabric stash list and realised I'd been looking in the wrong bags
It's a fairly small piece, I'm afraid
-- 23cm x 33cm with a bit sticking out. Don't worry about swaps, I have more Jobelan than I know what to do with
especially as I'm mostly doing Hardanger at the moment. Will send it off tomorrow!
