There is a brand new Walmart that just opened - the closest one to me. It's 60 miles. I stopped by today and there IS a fabric section. It's not really big, but has a great selection. I'm wondering if the fabric decisions are made according to geographical area. It seems all the stores around this area have fabric, and the depts are usually busy too. Is that a good sign?

Every week my walmart has been getting a delivery of fabric...and its selling out fast. This is beautiful fabric and goes from 2 to 3 dollars. some of it may be seconds but the quality of the woven fabric is still there

Lucky girl!!! Our walmart is going to close fabric out in 2010 they tell me. The one in Burlington a 1/2 hour away has already closed theirs out. I have been buying in Walmart for 30 years! It is a bummer. But my favorites have been discontinued over the last year anyway and I can't find them anymore. Oh well.

Maybe Walmart is listening. This quilting trend doesn't seem to be slowing. It would be wonderful for everyone to have access to affordable fabric in their own neighborhoods. Don't forget the online shops! There are so many great ones out there.
