The wait in our local Joann's was about 3 hours! I only go to purchase flannel once a year for our blanket ministry at our hospital. This time I got smart! I found bolts, wrapped in cellophane, at 8 yds. a bolt. They didn't need to be cut so I grabbed all I could (took my sewing cart with me because I knew there wouldn't be any shopping carts) and headed to the check out. I was in and out of there in a little over an hour! That stash of flannel will go with me to the hospital on Tuesday and should last us until I go again next year. I'm a happy camper!
