| For those who sew Where do you get your fabric? Our local Wal-Mart has already depleted their material selection - you know, all Wal-Marts are closing this dept in all of their stores!!!! And, our Hobby Lobbies do not have that great of selections - we do have a Hancocks, but I have never really found anything that we just "had to have" there. Is there any stores that might have websites or any websites on materials to buy? --even thought I HATE buying fabric without looking at it first - in person. What stores do you buy your fabric from? !cid_004a01c734eaaa7430c20445@D70NSM91.gif

| I don't have a Jo-Anns here? Is it a store or are they online? I'm not looking for anything specific - just trying to find some new, better places to get some material - plus, I take my grandmother on her weekly errands and she quilts.

| I heard that about Walmart but per the sales person at our Walmart, she does not think it is going anytime soon I sometimes get fabrics there. Mostly it is Joann's and Hancock's. Joann has an online store but the selection is limited I think. I will send you the link when I get an e-mail from them next. |

Then, not long after Christmas we went and the fabrics were marked down, but there was no more bird fabric. My grandmother went this past Monday w/ my aunt and she said that they had already gotten rid of all of their fabric - so it didn't take them long at all. Crazy! Thanks for the information - I will look for that site tonight!

| Jo-Anne's is a huge store in CA that sells a good selection of fabric (especially the Joanne superstores)and tons of cool crafts supplies like a MIchael's. I'm not sure if they have it outside of CA. They sell online too but I can't imagine buying fabric online seeing that I have to touch and feel to see if the quality is good and what the washing instructions are. But if you don't mind, I've seen good old ebay carry fabric as well. Not sure where you reside, but here's their link, you can do a store search http://www.joann.com/ |

| Don't know if you have a Ben Franklin anywhere near you, but they have an awesome selection of fabrics (or at least mine does). I love Ben Franklin!

| JoAnns and Hancocks are the only two major retailers that I am aware of. Lots of small mom and pop shops -- those places are where you find the really neat unique stuff. You can also google for fabric outlet stores -- maybe you'll luck up |

There are a few smaller "mom and pop" stores (and probably more if I knew where to look). I have found some great materials there, sometimes they have alot higher prices and sometimes, it is cheaper. Thanks everyone!

We don't have a Joann's superstore but I know Seattle does . . I went there once and it was HUGE. Check if you have a quilt store. I know we do but they never go on SALE and their fabrics are outrageously pricey but gosh the selection si pretty awesome | |

What are you looking for in bird fabric, can you describe it? I saw the little bird house fabric here while back at wal mart.Our hancocks has lots of neat fabrics in prints and Jo Ann's doesn't seem to have as much a selection in them in the local store here. I always get the better sale fabrics opposed to the ones on sale of less quality and find in the long run it is better investment. Patti Last edited by Baby Blessing; 01-10-2007 at 04:32 PM. | |

| Not really familiar with Arkansas, but there are 3 Ben Franklins there, 2 in Hot Springs and 1 in Shannon Hills.
