There is a brand new Walmart that just opened - the closest one to me. It's 60 miles. I stopped by today and there IS a fabric section. It's not really big, but has a great selection. I'm wondering if the fabric decisions are made according to geographical area. It seems all the stores around this area have fabric, and the depts are usually busy too. Is that a good sign?

Great News for you ! And yes I think it is by area and maybe what other stores might be around to competer for fabric ?

Every week my walmart has been getting a delivery of fabric...and its selling out fast. This is beautiful fabric and goes from 2 to 3 dollars. some of it may be seconds but the quality of the woven fabric is still there

:D :D :D :D :D :D :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink: :wink:

Lucky girl!!! Our walmart is going to close fabric out in 2010 they tell me. The one in Burlington a 1/2 hour away has already closed theirs out. I have been buying in Walmart for 30 years! It is a bummer. But my favorites have been discontinued over the last year anyway and I can't find them anymore. Oh well.

My Walmart still has fabric. No signs of going out of business. You may be right. It may be regional.

Little hud I may have to come your way if you still have fabric when the one in Mt. Pleasant quits their fabric dept. I'm in SE Iowa so not too far.

60 miles? Well at least it has fabric. Demographics that companies do are pretty interesting. And yes, good sign that there are fabrics and the departments are busy. Have fun!

Sounds like fun.

Since I live in the middle of no-where, I thought that 60 miles was pretty sweet!!!

Maybe Walmart is listening. This quilting trend doesn't seem to be slowing. It would be wonderful for everyone to have access to affordable fabric in their own neighborhoods. Don't forget the online shops! There are so many great ones out there.
