My Walmart HAS closed out their fabric just recently! The gals in the fab dept was really upset & disappointed about losing their jobs & not being able to be seeing their repeat customers that they made Friends with! I will definitely MISS them! They were always so helpful!

I think this Quilting Board SITE is just WONDERFUL!!! Thanks, for being here you all...

If I didn't have to drive over a 100 miles to get to a Wal-Mart, I'd be on my way now! Sounds like a real good idea.

You're lucky. I just got back from our WM and saw the $5 bolts and there wasn't anything I could use. In fact it was some really weird knits and things. Maybe somebody beat me to it and got all the good stuff!

Does any one else wonder if "no fabric" in the stores, being reviewed ??? Mark up is generally o.k. hopefully made in the U.S.A. their are a few people that could use jobs. Hmmmmm If working at, WM might be somthing for the suggestion box. :)

Ok, I am home. Here are pics of my material. I am really thrilled with all of it...almost. When I was looking at the $1 material, I passed some decent quality material that was Elvis Presley themed...just not that into Presley. I was excited to find Army themed material with dog tags, soldiers stripes etc on it in a color that I could pair with cammo colors for my grand son...didn't really care about the print as I would be cutting it in strips, but was excited about the colors....now as I am taking pics, I see it is pic/representations of Elvis's dog tags, draft registration card with his signature...all nice, but just not into Elvis...DRAT! Hmmmm wonder if it would work for a kaleidoscope quilt or it would probably make a really unique pocketbook?
Not bad for a days work, huh?

Over view of Elvis material Dog tags seem to stand out.
