The first quilting guild I belonged will cease its activities simply because Wal-Mart closed the fabric dept. To reach the first quilting store, they would have to cross the whole island of Montreal. It compared with living in New Jersey and having to go to Manhattan, New York. Ig you to the quilt store you pay a FQ between $3.50 to $4.00 dollars, by the yard, it is never cheaper than $15.00 plus 13.5% tax
