somehow, remarkably, our fabric selection at our walmart is dwindling (as they upgrade to a stupid superwalmart) but yet the price stays at over 4 dollars a yard. Not worth my time to drive down there. I have never seen a fat quarter there, let alone a charm pack or jelly roll, so am totally jealous of all these deals you guys are getting! Good thing Joann's is closer....although...thier prices lately....

For the most part, I do like WM's new store layout but whoever is in charge of what to stock and how much is not doing a good job. The grocery aisle usually looks like the day after a blizzard. How can you run out of canned corn for Pete's sake?

The farmers market is awesome. Last time I was there they had marbles under $4. Won't get to go back till August or September but i will save as much as i can between now and then and bring home an addition or two to my stash

Our Wally World dropped their 2.44 fabric to $2. Not much of a savings but I did get some good quality flannel for $2/yd. Kicked myself because two days prior I paid $2.59 at Joann's for lighter weight flannel.

I was there yesterday and got over 20 yeards of fabric. The Batiks were on sale for $3.50 a yard!! Some of the fabric that was marked $2.44 a yard was actually $1 a yard (so I found out when it was being cut), but the lady didn't have time yet to put the sale price stickers on yet!... I got some great deals!

I'm a little confussed about the Wal Mart fabric, Some board members say they like it and other say its a cheaper quality. I will admit that when I first started qting 10 or 20 ys ago the fabric I bought was not all cotton. but that was my mistake. I definatly would not make a blouse of it, but - if newbees are buying the wrong type of fabric, I would have thought that the older oops- more esperience Qter should help educate all beginners and nebees. I don't think I am explaining myself very well. Could someone help me out here.
