Thanks for posting this! It is wonderful to see that WalMart recognizes that alot of consumers do care where there products are manufactured. They have launched a 10 year plan and 250 BILLION dollars to bring manufacturing jobs to America. As a kid, I went with my DGM over to the "Blouse factory" - it was actually a Judy Bond factory- anyone remember those blouses? I digress... when we went over to blouse factory, she would get a bag of the leftover fabric that the blouses were cut from. And guess what she did with that fabric... Went straight into quilts, of course!

PS: I think I just saw some fabric advertised as being made in the US from cotton grown in the US. Cannot remember where that was advertised now.[/QUOTE]

Seems to me that when Sam Walton was alive, the Walmart stores claim to fame was that they tried to buy American made products whenever possible for the store. After he died, we saw a big change in that and in the "tone" of the employees. It's good to see that they are advertising US products again and that there are products being made in the US again. Tough to buy US made items when it seems like not so much is made here anymore. Good that Pellon is on board and hopefully a lot more companies will follow.

According to this web page this is sold at Jo ann's, Wal Mart and other places. I got the one with large peach and blue flowers today at JA at 30% off so $6.29 a yard and feels nice. Have a 1 yard peice of the dark blue with blue and pink flowers up at top of ad. Next time I have time at WM will have to check out for this fabric and other made in America stuff there. So good to see American made again.
