Great bargain. I was at my walmart today and got some for a 1.50 a yd but you got a better deal...gotta love it.

Gee, we must be mind readers. I was at Wal-mart just a few hours ago and stocked up also on the $1.00, $2.50 and the $2.44 a yard. I think the reciept showed 20 items.

Are all the Walmarts loosing the Fabric Department? I know the ones in Sacramento, CA closed out their Fabric Department. We moved from there to Washington and the Walmart here in our little town still has a pretty nice selection of material and sewing supplies. I hope they do not close it out. It seems like it would make money for the store with all the quilters/sewing crafted people out there.I wonder what the reason is?

I got the block of the month fabric for January last week. They were 1.00 a yrd also. In March (if there is any left) I will pick up all the 1.00 yrd fabric they have. Last week I think I got close to 50 yrds of fabric. Here is a pic of what I have started to make with my buck fabric. This fabric is not real heavy but it does have a good feel to it.

I don't know what I am going to make yet. I am still working on my last one. I am lucky - the WM by us is not only keeping the fabric, but got a new cutting table within the last couple weeks. It is smaller than the old one,but at least that means the departments is not going anywere.

Ive talked to our WM and the lady said that our's and one other WM are the only ones to still have uncut fabric department (some of the other walmarts sells fabric by fat 1/4's or precut 1 yrd packages charm packs and such. She also told me they were not getting rid of the fabric department. But what is weird is all the yarn is over by stationary and dog food????

Our WM was going to get rid of all their fabrics until the local college pitched a fit and put a stop to it. But they did clearance a lot of it out, got a lot of fabric for .25 a yard over the summer, great stuff for backing. their supply is small and they mostly carry the expensive stuff but atleast they still have it.
I don't go to our lqs cause the owner is very rude. If you are not there to buy yards and yards of stuff then she don't want to wait on you.

you're lucky our two super centers closed their fabric departments and I'm upset about it.

In between chatting with "2 love birds" today I will try to get to our WM and see what they have, no tellin' I suspect since we live on another planet...ALASKA it will be more $$$$.
Thanks for the heads up.
