On of our local fabric mavens just posted (sorry, north texas news) that
there were 12 north texas wal-marts doing a huge sale this weekend on
fabric.
The speculation is that this may be nation wide and that it is the precursor
to the shutting down of these areas. I.E. what is sold will not be replaced.
Check to see if your local Wal-Mart is having this sale this weekend.

Not necessarily. :-)
The only Wal-Mart in my immediate area that will still carry fabric
after
this summer is just around the corner from a Jo-Ann's ETC and is in one
of
the country's fastest growing townships. The area is suburban and is
reasonably upscale. I've found lovely stuff at that Wal-Mart - linen,
linen
blends and other nifty stuff. Most of it was on the dollar tables, too.
Interesting. I stand corrected.
What part of the country do you live in, if I may ask?
And that particular Wal-Mart is just over a half hour's drive from
Jo-Ann's
corporate headquarters and their accompanying mega-store.
Which might help to explain why that particular Walmart carries such good
fabric deals. :-)
