The associate that worked the fabric dept at our WalMart before the dept. was closed told me that as the super WalMarts were remodeled they would eventually shut down ALL fabric depts. Isn't that narrow-minded of them. And they claim to be community oriented. Well they don't know anything about our community, if they don't know that they were our only source for fabric.

Thank Goodness one quilter went out on a limb and opened a little fabric shop. Her stock is growing daily. Quilters are responding and shopping there. She's brought her LAQ and is doing quilting for customers. Her prices on fabric are very reasonable (It beats having to spend money on gas for the car to go 30 miles for fabric.) She's 6 miles from my house.

As far as I'm concerned, WM can keep their jelly rolls. I'd rather buy yardage from our LQS and help her stay in business. I'm sure in due time the JRs will be in her shop. Sorry for the venting. It's my opinion.
