    Do any of you remember around 2002, 2003 when WalMart removed the fabric sections from all their stores? That was a tragic loss for many quilters. Those living in rural areas miles away from a JoAnn store could count on WalMart being nearby and having fabric. It took a few years of national protests, quiet but effective, to convince WalMart to return fabric departments to their stores. I think they used the fabric space for party supplies and that didn't work out. Anyway, I am so glad they brought back the fabric departments. We all know some fabric is better than others. I guess it's up to us to shop wisely.

    It wasn't that long ago. I had just started my foray into quilting and had only made a couple of quilts when that started so it had to be around 2009-2010. My local Walmart never did remove their fabric but they did condense what they carried for a couple of years, then they expanded it to bigger than what it was to begin with. Two other Walmarts in my area have never had much of a fabric/crafts section.

    I don't know what you used. My Daughter bought lots of waverly fabrics. It is excellent quality.
