Went grocery shopping at the WalMart yesterday where my DH works. He said "Oh yeah, let me show you the new fabric area". Well, they have 2 very large shelving areas with bolts of fabric, and two more areas waiting to be stocked.

Our voices were heard!!! This WalMart opened 18 months ago with little pre-cuts of fabric only.

Now who has the power??? WE DO!!! WOOHOO!!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

At first I thought you were going to tell us about your adventure in returning a bolt of fabric to Wal-Mart! But then I realized what it was.

Congrats! :thumbup:

Wait. Your DH wanted to show you the new fabrics. What a wonderful man. My ex wanted me to get rid of mine - notice I said he was ex.

That's wonderful! I need to check out our WalMarts. Just hadn't had the heart to until I heard more & more were actually converted back.

I think WalMart saw their numbers drop when they removed fabric from stores. They also didn't do that well once they remodeled stores too.
Glad they are bringing fabric back. Lesson learned for them.
