Lucky you!
The Wal-marts in my area (Central PA, but also Eastern PA) no longer carry fabric. A year or two ago, I'd noticed that Wal-mart had exactly the kind of fabric I'd want for quilting, the tiny floral prints, but I hadn't started quilting at that point. The fabric shops I've been to don't have those prints. All my life those prints were around and NOW they've gone out of style????
Anyway, it's wonderful that you managed to get great fabric on sale there. Looking forward to seeing the quilts you make with it!
I'm very interested in your plan to try making your own cloth. How would you do it? Would you start with unbleached or white cloth and then dye it and print on a pattern? I imagine it'll be hard to make the edges of your stamper line up precisely. Do you have a method in mind for that?
I'll be following your posts about it, all agog with interest. : )
