Hello sara, I was wondering if there were any quilters in Delaware! I belong to the Sr Ctr here in the Annapolis,Md area. So far there is only one Walmart here that has left the fabric in the store. Joanns has raised their prices some, but they do have good sales and of course the coupons you can get online as well as sign up for a mailer too! That is the way I go for the most part. I have ordered some from online and gotten some from Ebay.
I can understand that at the Sr Ctr income is a priority and shopping is limited for most. Another thing you can do is place an ad for gifted material for the Sr Ctr from anyone who wishes to donate from their stash or scraps! You would be surprised what you might get! Craigslist or in local ads for a start. Good Luck
Sharon
