I’ve been hearing for a while that Walmart will be removing its fabric department in most stores. I can’t say I took it very seriously. Never once did I think of Walmart as my #1 choice in fabric stores, but since I’ve been doing more designs/commissions and with money being tight, I’ve looked to them more and more. I told myself I’d believe it when I see it. Well on Sunday I saw it. The local Walmart took out the fabric section. Thankfully there is still a craft row, but I’m not sure how much is leftovers and how much will be kept permanently. Last time I was at a Walmart fabric department, I noticed there was very little fabric compared to usual findings so I gave it some thought then. I guess I was in denial. It must be true. Fabric is very profitable so I don’t understand why they did this. My only thoughts are that modern technical society is moving away from practical, creative, and organic activity.

Bummer.
