Hardin is about 15 mins up the 641 from Murray. Do you live in Bowling Green? I haven't been there myself.

thanks for the reminder..i have bought lots of great fabric at wm.. :thumbup:

My Walmart still has fabric, but I noticed last week that their usual $1/yard is now $1.50/yd. I, too, have gotten some awesome fabrics at Walmart. You really have to watch the fabrics EVERY time you go in, as when they do get some nice fabric at those prices, they are gone in a couple of days. So, the secret is to always check....some days, you hit it lucky.

If you go in to WM on Monday mornings that is when you find the best deals.

I live about 45 minutes from BowlingGreen. I am in between Bowling Green and Murray.

If you ever make your way to Murray give me a hollar, maybe we can meet somewhere.

WM in Fort Wayne still has some.....but it's leaving all of them, except precuts. at a high price....

I spend the summers in Tallassee, Alabama. It has the 2nd smallest Walmart. They have all their fabric for 50% off. I have made several trips and am still thinking about a couple of pieces. The clerks at the store know they are remodeling but they are not aware that the fabrics probably won't come back.

I am drooling. I wish our Walmart had fabric.

crkathleen.........

welcome, we haven't seen you in quite some time...good to see you onboard......

Our Wal-mart closed out all their fabric.

Where in western ky are you? If you are anywhere near Murray our WM still has fabric's.

Good for you. A helpful quilt at one of our Wal Mart's here gave me the "heads up" that they were reducing their fabric department to one half one their renovation occurs. Hey, that's better than eliminating it in my book. I shop all over but really like choices.

Thanks. I wish my WM still sold fabric. Out of luck.

Has anyone seen this?

It's a petition to Walmart to bring back fabric. Interesting.

Thanks for the info. I hope more quilters on this board see this and sign.

Our Walmart doesn't have fabric anymore, since the made it a super WM last year. But....I am currently working on a set of hexagon placemates from the most beautiful fabric I bought at WM a few years ago, and forgot I had it. It is blue and teal and gold butterflys on a black ground...and good quality too. I will post pics when I get them finished. Sounds like a great deal at $1.50 per yd...better get alot, they won't have fabric forever.

rexie, I always thought the 400 yard sale would be fun. Is it advertised earlier in the year? Eiltcoq.

You girls are so lucky, there is very little quilting fabric here in Australia for under $15.00 a metre, which is about $19 US, and that's for the cheap stuff. Most good quality cotton is about $22 to $25 a metre. Very envious!!

Good morning, LilliPilli,

I happened upon your post this morning in the thread about the price of your fabric in your homeland. Just before that I was reading a newsletter I had received for the MISSOURI STAR QUILTS. They have a daily special each and every day.

When I was reading today's, I noticed something about their shipping but didn't pay too much attention to it until I read your post about how $$$$ your fabric is.

This might be of some interest to you.......their shipping seems better than what I have heard about before.

here is the website.... http://missouriquiltco.com/shop/shipping-handling

just thought this might be of interest to you if you like to order online at much better prices than you were quoting.

Happy day.....MaryJane

Most of the Walmarts around me have closed. But when I find one that does have fabric I always check out the dollar table.

This past week I went to WM and checked to see if the had a fabric department, since I hear so many of them closing that section out. They do still have the fabric, but what I saw was very "thin" it didnt seam to have a good thread count.They did have some very nice FQ's tho, I would buy those, but was a lil dissapointed in what they had by the yard.

Welcome LilliPilli Lady, I hear fabric in the other countries is so expensive. Yes, I guess we are lucky here, that we can find affordable stuff! Job market is horrible here though, lol!
Do you have garage sales or thrift stores there? I find used stuff every once in a while!

I guess we don't know how lucky we are!

Depending on where you live in Indiana and how recent your wm was remodeled, some still have fabric. Avon recentally remodeled and sent all their fab to Brownsburg store which still has fab til they remodel.

Do you have a Mardens near where you are in Maine? I go to Maine on vacation every summer and I always go to the Mardens in Sanford to stock up on fabric. They have quilt-shop-quality fabrics for $2-$3 per yard.

My daughter and I went to Wal-mart here yesterday but they had no fabric marked down or nothing. In fact the material had gone up! Mary

Oh if I had money, I would have you buy me all the white, then I could dye any color I need. :) God bless. Penny

Thank you for the link, I intend spending some time and probably money on that website!!
We were recently in Hawaii and I bought some beautiful fabric for a quilt for my little grandson, I should have left all my clothes behind in the hotel and just loaded my bags with fabric. Then again, its always a good excuse to travel back to the US, we love your country, and next time we visit I plan to research the location of fabric shops before I leave home and travel very lightly.
I love this website, I have gained so much knowledge and so many ideas from it, I have several projects on the go and simply have to stop myself from starting anything else.
Cheers and thank you from OZ

I bought some yesterday and will probably go back for more. My store (60 miles away) only had 4 colors. This store is supposed to be "remodeled" this year and do away with the fabric.

Although our local Wm is closing it's faqbric department, I too have found some great fabrics. Some work up a lot nicer than more expensive fabric from "brand name" fabric stores.

We were passing through knoxville, tn. yesterday and stopped by walmar. I thought I would see if they are still selling fabric. Well I just I had just missed the sale because there wasn't much left for 75% off. Someone asked the clerk about their fabri. The clerk said that after they remodel they are going to sell prepackage 1,2 and I think 3 yards.
I am not sure if anyone else sells it that way or not. Here in georgia I haven't seen it like that. Have you or have you heard about this?

When one of our local Wal Marts had a big fabric sale before they removed the fabric department from that store, I made it a point to go there thinking it would be a great way to pick up some deals on quilting fabric. I was Sooooooooo disappointed. Most of the bolts had no information on them regarding fabric content. The vast majority (over 90%) were not cottons. I didn't see any fabric that looked like what they normally stock. It was as if another vendor brought in leftover fabric for the sale. I'll never rush to one of those again!

Here in SE Okla. I have found that when a WM stops selling fabric, they don't sell ANY fabric. They hardly have any notions, either. The closest one to me that still has fabric is 60 miles away. The clerks have told me to call 1-800-walmart and tell them I don't want this store to stop selling fabric. They say this has worked at other locations, so i am going to try it.

Yes, our stores in Ga. quit selling it too. That is why I was wondering if anyone else heard about them selling prepackaged
yardage.
Befor one of our stores quit selling fabric all together, they had gotten I think packaged fats. But I haven't seen anything else.

I have seen some of the quilters on here talk about precut packaged fabrics being sold at some WM stores.

I havent heard about Wm selling prepackaged fabric. A few month ago when I first heard that the fabric dept was being closed out the sales clerk gave me the store manager's phonne # and also the 1-800#. I called both. Did not stop the closing. there always seemed to be a line waiting to fave fabric measured and cut, so I do not see the lack of business. It will be a 50-60 mile trip to buy fabric or buy from catalogs for me.

Guess what I didn't find at WalMart today? Yes, you're right. I found NO fabric. Not a stitch. They still had sewing machines and a scanty selection of thread, but no thread. What do think we would sew with those sewing machines, not any of the scrap booking supplies they have where some of the fabric used to be. That store just lost my business. It is not where I usually shop but is located where I can easily stop when I am returning home from my doctor. I will not stop there again. My regular store doesn't have fabric, either, but the other store had fabric after it had been discontinued at my regular store. At least, we still have Hobby Lobby and Hancock Fabrics. Wish they were closer together.

Better than buying fabric from any of the afore mentioned places is getting it from friends. A friend called me last night and told me to be sure and drive my car to church Sunday morning, as she has more fabric for me than I could carry home.

Lucky You!!! to have a friend like that.
