So exciting~
I just got back from walmart, where I was unable to get thru the fabric department! It was full of pallets of fabric to fill in the 3 new aisles of fabric offerings!! An entire aisle is all cotton quilting fabrics, as well as another huge section of quilting supplies!! Prices looked great. Most of the fabrics look like the same as carried by Joannes,with much better prices!! Too bad i have to use an electric cart to shop, or I would have been digging thru the pallets!! I will be back tomorrow!!

the super wally world (aka walmart) nearest me is stocking fabric and it is an organizational mess and not the most inviting aisle to shop in. i truly hope they do something better with the organization but there was lots of fabrics. they clearanced out all of the precuts they were carrying. i managed to get a few.

Our local walmart tripled it's fabric department this past week. Bolts and bolts of "quilting fabric"($3.00-$6.95), clearance section, specialty fabrics, more machines thread, zippers....Everything they took out is back. Great planning on their part.....NOT!

Our local store discontinued fabrics and most crafts a few years ago. They're expanding the store to one with groceries and when we went through the other day, I spied some fabric. We were in a hurry so didn't get a chance to really look. Looked as if they were just putting it all together.

Our only Quilt shop closed a while ago, so unless i went clear across town to Hancocks, all I had was Joannes.The quality of the fabrics in Joannes are no better than the ones at Wamart....Even with the coupons many times the prices were higher too...I like having more options especially since price can make or break me since I live on disability.
