I know that as of SAT they still had a lot of those homespun brushed cotton fabrics (am assuming you mean the very country colors and patterns that were on display just inside the door for a while).....they feel like flannel, but they are not - they are brushed cotton....so none of the problematic shrinkage you get with true flannel when washed. I bought 2 of those bundles to make a queen sized rail fence.....haven't started that one yet........but I need to get enough for the backing before they are out of the material!!

I live about 45-50 minutes due south of Wilson's - right off I-81 easy drive up.........maybe I will see you there one Saturday.
