Nan, you sure got a lot of nice fabric at a unbeatable price. I guess I need to hop over to a WM to see what they have to offer.

I bought a few I really liked when they were $3/yard. I had my eye on some canvas for several weeks. I picked 3 yds for $3 a foot one day last week, when I stopped by on Friday after quilting, it was $3 a yard an I bought the last 7 3/8 yards for $3/yd. I also got some I really liked for $1/yd.

I rushed over to my Walmart to get in on the clearance sales. Guess what? It isn't happening here yet. I did get seven one yard precuts for the kitchen towels I have been hand embroidering. The bottom will have a 3 1/2" border of the purchased fabric and I bought tassels to accent. I think they will be adorable when I get them all done. I only have seven finished so I have a ways to go. I am not sure yet whether I will sell them in a senior sampler fall sale or give them as gifts to the in laws at the holidays. I have never sold any of my work before and I would have to get a tax number (which I am not sure about either). But, I have plenty of the towels and fabric to make them. 40 towels and tons of accent fabric.

I will surely need to go check my local store and surrounding others LOL

I bought the bottom fabric (in photo) in light purple as I have about a half yard of some park scene fabric it will go nicely with. I rarely if ever go in a Walmart where I live. But friend took me to one a couple of towns over. Bingo!! Whole table of $1 a yd stuff, fleece $1 yd. oh wait,,,, I was looking for a coffee pot.. LOL

Great find! I too got some fabrics at Wal Mart for $1.00 per yard. But my biggest score was at Pat Cataans as they have been bought out by Michaels---I got yardage for 50% off price marked---came home with yardage for pillow cases, blenders, some kids prints, some for nightgowns and blouses. That was just the first time---I went back 2 more times and got a great green that looks like grass for the backing on my DH Ohio Buckeye Quilt. I plane to make the backing look like a football field. Sure will miss them---they carried everything. The one near me will just be gone in September. Some of the stores are turning into Michaels, which does not carry fabric. So sad! But glad for me!

That is a great deal. Would be wonderful for backings.

Nancy, does this mean you will be too busy using up all that fabric to moderate? :D

Hi from this stranger who just logged in after not being on this forum in years
I wanted to let you know about the Gueterman thread in Walmart. They have the big spools for 50 cents and the smaller ones for a quarter. i bought almost $20 worth a few days ago. |
