If most of us have exceeded that amount per person, hmmmm. does that mean that the original overall sales figures are on the light side? Either that or someone is not pulling their weight and only buying 2 fat quarters a year. That would not be anyone on this board, however, I am sure.

Well, that's not so bad per year. My DH will be happy to hear that.

Evidently Wal-Mart didn't know we were all out here.... as they took the bolts of fabrics out of thier stores. Maybe someone at Wal-Mart headquaters needs to read the paper.

That's right! Plus, when I go to Walmart to buy fabric, I always buy non-fabric stuff too, but when I go to a fabric store, then I might buy my other stuff at Target or the grocery store. So, Walmart, if anyone there is listening, cutting fabric departments means cutting non-fabric related purchases too!

Yah, I spent more than that on my first shopping "trip" to Hancocks of Paducah's website. I am saving all my receipts in a file and will add it up at the end of the year (certainly not before). I know my bottom line has to be in the thousands at the end of a year. :roll: :? :oops:

It wouldn't be anywhere near that amount if it weren't for online shopping now! I only have one small quilt shop near me, and a couple of Joann Fabrics within a half hour to 45 minutes. I buy almost all my fabric online....isn't the internet a marvelous thing?!!
