Well aint that about how it goes!!! I buy my fabric, supplies, etc almost exclusively at WalMart. (only exceptions are the bargains I find at yard sales). Not to mention the fact that I live in a small rural town of only 2000 and the nearest WalMart is a 1/2 hour drive away. Its the closest place. We lost the JoAnn's that was in the same town as our WalMart ("our"...apparently not so much any more!) 10 + yrs ago. If they do away with their fabric department...I'll HAVE to rely on my garage and yard sale skills. I can't drive 60 - 70 miles round trip to purchase my supplies for ANY of my crafts...the gas alone would bankrupt my crafting budget. I'm callin tomorrow...emailing now...and visiting the store on my planned trek into town this Friday.
