I agree that I think Wal-Mart is making a mistake in doing away with the material dept. Not all people have the money to go to a quilt store all the time. Wal-Mart used to have some pretty nice material and a fair price. I think that Sam Walten would be turning over in his grave if he knew how his family has handle his business, that he created for the lower income families of America. He cared about the people, but most today just think about how much money they can make and are never satisfied with what they have. Our new Wal-Mart in Lebanon, Ind. has some fat quarters and a few other sewing notions. Not much though.
