I bought some of this brand ad size at Costco the other day, I think they were 5 for 20.00, they are nice quality.

I use the plastic pencil boxes for my machine accessories and bobbin storage. Love those.

All the quilting items and fabric online at Walmart is in Party and Occasions dept. I found over fifty pages of fabrics and kits. The same fabric as in the store for the most part. The search feature isn't all that great so it's hard to find anything.

My daughter & I went thru the fabric department at our local Walmart - as we walked out both of us thought that had to be the ugliest collection of fabric ever. Not sure who their buyer is, but the buyer should be fired. I wasn't concerned about quality - none of it looked good, and usually there is something in the kids section that will catch my eye. But there was nothing! Oh well, I don't need any fabric right now anyway.

I love shopping at Walmart.
I like to get their glue right now also. I did find their Fine Line Crayola Washable Markers, in Classic and Tropical Colors. A ten pack is under $2.00, so I was happy.

I use them too. the clear ones, easy to store your projects that you are working on.

Time to start talking to the manager. The more people that express their desires, the more likely they are to re-invent the department.

Office Depot has a bunch of stuff this week for 25cents. They change it each week. Staples usually does something like that too.
