I'm a quilter, and I make lap quilts for our local VA hospital in Memphis, TN. Quilting is my only hobby.

90% of my fabric comes from Wal-Mart because of the great prices and they are the closet fabric source. BUT the quilters guild I belong to has learned that Wal-Mart is phasing out their fabric department. They have done away with them in some areas already. Wal-Mart is the ONLY source of fabric in my small town. It would mean a 20-30 minute drive to get to the next 2 sources of fabric. I'm a widow and on a fixed income so shopping at Wal-Mart for their prices and location is a must. Having to pay higher prices for fabric and gas will impact how many lap quilts I can do in a year for the VA hospital or for myself. I've done about 10 so far this year.

We are asking that people call 800 Wal-Mart and ask them NOT to discontinue the fabric departments.
