Well, my latest email to WM got the response that they were replacing the craft & fabrics and i quote: "In keeping with our emphasis on being a store of the community, Walmart is converting the fabrics and crafts department in some stores to a newly expanded assortment of merchandise that focuses on life's celebrations. We are thrilled to offer our customers this exciting new crafts and celebrations center that makes available craft and party planning needs along with information on current trends and new ideas in the area of life's celebrations, such as holidays, weddings and birthdays.
I responded that is of little interest to me and I will avoid shopping WM when other stores are more convenient. Give me a break: life's celebrations!! sounds like managementspeak to me.

Most of it is 100% cotton and priced at $4.97 a yard but there is more coming every week. I keep thinking this is some other Walmarts fabric that closed their dept. Hope I am wrong and that the fabric keeps on coming.

I was in our Walmart fabric department yesterday (looking for holiday fabric on sale). There we boxes and boxes of fabric to be put out. I guess ours isn't going anywhere anytime soon!!
BTW, I got some good holiday fabric for 86 cents/yard. Woohoo!!!

Our Ben Franklin store burned down and that was our best fabric place -boy, they had aisle after aisle. So many of the workers there then started at Ace Hardware. Guess what? Within a year, Ace now also has fabric!
