I have just returned from the 2011 Wal Mart Shareholders Meeting in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I went as a guest of Wal Mart for 4 days and represented my store from Oneonta, Alabama. While in the meeting on Wednesday, June 1, 2011, they were discussing some changes that were taking place in Wal Mart. As I used a walker on wheels due to my problem with walking long distances, I was placed on the ground floor of the meeting in the 8th row just down from the stage. Mr. John Aden was speaking about the fact that they were bringing back firearms to the stores. Then he said, "And, continuing with words that begin with "F", Fabric is Back". Well, without thinking, I shouted "Praise the LORD". Didn't realize my voice carried and then John said, "Did I hear a Praise the LORD"? Anyway, he said it would be full fabric that would be cut by an associate. He also said that they listened to the customers and that fabric would return to 700 stores by September. He then said that if your store had fabric, you would not lose it. I am enclosing a picture that was taken as he was speaking from the stage of this years meeting. WHOOOHOO!!!

That's so cute him hearing you! I think you spoke for many quilters. Quilting is gaining momentum worldwide. Walmart would be silly to abandon fabric sales all together.

You go girl! I would hate to think what might have jumped out of my mouth. :roll: My DH will be glad to hear about the firearms to. Thanks for sharing this story, I LOVE IT!!! :thumbup: |
Oh music to my ears...thanks for sharing.

I hope one of my stores is among the 300..even with quilt shops, I would look at WalMart 1st. Especially for backings.
|
Wow! That's great news. I have no problem with Walmart fabric.
|
Thank you! Another praise the Lord!
One of ours still has some but not great fabric. One of our new ones doesn't have it at all. Can't wait as the fabrics are so expensive for me anywhere else. |
Good NEWS!
