The fabric clerk told me not many Walmarts carry the quilt of the month fabric with free quilt pattern every month. She said it was ordered separate from a buyer that contacts the store fabric manager. It's up to the fabric manager if the line is carried in the store if the store sells fabric. The fabric dept manager at this store is a quilter! I think that makes a big difference in how profitable the fabric sales are. Most of the craft/fabric managers have no interest, just doing a job.
Which town do you shop in that has this fabric. I am in North Little Rock, but am at other places around Arkansas occasionally. There are no Walmarts in NLR that still sell fabric. There is one Walmart left in Little Rock that does, but not much of it. It will be gone by the end of 2010.
