Maybe you ladies should try to "educate" your Walmarts (fabric depts)? How many people DO NOT realize that quilters are getting their projects ready for Christmas in summer...and early fall?
Quilters who put their quilts/table toppers...etc into the county/state fairs have their projects completed by JULY. So since it sounds like not all Walmarts are the same try just having a talk with whom EVER is in charge of the fabric dept at your local WM stores. If they aren't quilters.. they have no clue.

Makes no sense not to have Christmas fabric out. Sounds like the person does not really know and made something up. I would be really nervous if I didn't have a Christmas present done by now - or at least have the fabric. More power to you if you are starting now. A lot of Web sites are clearancing Christmas fabric.

I think Walmart has put a bandaid on all the protesting no fabric in stores where the need is the greatest; our fabric section in the closest Walmart to me is a storage place for pallets of things going out on the floor to be put on display - so one has to step around and through the pallets to look at what fabric there is. At first I felt they were just using the space temporarily, but 6 months of the same-o, same-o tells me they just don't care!
I've complained, but not to the manager, but it seems they just are doing what they want to do - and to heck with teh consumer; otherwise teh store is fairly neat - so why just the fabric department?
