The Walmart here on Mt. Desert Island, ME has NO fabric in it anymore. When they moved to another part of town and became a Super Walmart they gave it up. HOWEVER, we have a new Mardens where the old Walmart was and they have a fabric dept. to die for! There are 100s of fabrics there to the point that they have put them in aisles by color in addition to other sections with kids, patterns, notions etc. I bought 2 bundles (11 fabrics each) of fat quarters that were $9.99 each. Really nice material.

At any rate, even though I did not need any fabric and even though I told myself just yesterday that from now on I would not buy fabric unless I had a project in mind, I bought ten pieces. Seven are purple and three are turquoise. No, I don't have patterns in mind, though I know there is a purple quilt in my future. (I asked about purple quilts here recently and found many many wonderful ideas!! I just haven't settled on one yet.)
I didn't find any fantastic sales or anything, but I had a good time. :)
