    This thread was probably NOT started for another debate of the quality of fabrics purchased at WalMart.

    There are a gazillion on that topic that are already on this board.

    let us try talking about quilting and stay away from politics....

    As far as that goes, I've never seen any fabric with "WALMART" printed on the selvage.
    You're absolutely right. I just wanted others to know what was happening at out local Walmart, so others might have hopes of seeing fabric return to their stores.
    Which is exactly why i went through this topic with a pooper scooper and plastic bags. the smelly deposits are now fertilizing flowers. :lol:

    i think it's back to normal now. let's hope it stays that way. :-)

    I was at the Wal-Mart @ 101 & Camelback (Glendale,Arizona) this morning, and there they were, stacking the shelves with bolts of fabric and I even saw a cutting table. Small but still a cutting table. Does not look like there will be a huge amount of fabric either, but some is better than none. I did see the notions, batting etc there as well. So its beginning, they said it would be the last of June, but it looks like maybe the 2nd week in July ... lol. But all is good, at least there is some progress.

    Wish ours would bring fabric back. Joann's here is actually dowsizing thier quilt fabric area, so it would be nice to have some choices.
    Happy for you that you are getting yours back!!!

    I was in Wal-Mart in Tampa a couple of weeks ago and they were closing out the 'precuts'. They had 100 charm squares for $9 but I passed because I still had one more quilt shop to visit and the IKEA store!

    Oh I so hope that ours will get fabric back! Right now all we have within 25 miles is JoAnne's. I go all the way to Rochester to find a Walmart with fabric!

    We just recently got ours back in Burlington, IA! Just a small amount, but it should make some people happy.

    Our WalMart got some fabric back in but it was all double knit polyester. Nothing I would want to use for quilting. Haven't checked it out since.

A fellow that works there, don't know if he was the manager, said that they listened to all the requests to bring the fabric back, and that they will be posting a message in the store by the fabric regarding all the requests. Some of the fabric is the same as the fabric lines that they had carried before. Pricing is a little higher, some at $4.95. He also told me that our local store had sold the most fabric in the state.Can't understand why they would have gotten rid of it if that was true! So, I hope the rest of you get your fabric back too!
    They had there FQ on sale for 75 cents, I got me some...LOL
