I was going to bring it to a reuse store but I realized that I could donate it here instead. I believe it’s all 100% cotton, I just need to destash a bit because it doesn’t suit my style anymore. It’s about a small file box’s worth, purchased mostly at quilt shops, Joanns and maybe Hobby Lobby, but there are definitely scrap materials in there as well. I think my mother sent me a bunch of her (clean) doggy bandanas to use as scrap, too.
I’m coming up this weekend anyway, should I bring it? Or go ahead and donate to a reuse place?
Bring it in to Creative Arts (big table near the floor loom)
If we can’t use it we can move it on to a reuse place
Here it is! Thank you so much!

@mreynolds I have a bunch of fabric for quilting to donate as well. I was thinking it could be useful for the project for making quilts for victims of the recent wildfires. (Is that project still ongoing?) Should I leave it on the big table as well? I don’t want to clutter things up, but figured this would be of use.
@Eltici55 You are heading up the quilting for wildfire survivors? Is there any interest in some quilting fabric to be donated for the project?

Greetings. That is very kind of you to offer your materials for the Hearts on Fire for California project. Our aim with this project was 2 fold: first to provide tangible monetary help to the survivors in real time, and second to provide an avenue for interested participants to learn to operate the Babylock Zest sewing machine.
While the idea of making quilts to be sent to various individual survivors is a wonderful, thoughtful endeavor, it is beyond the scope of this particular project.
However I would encourage you, if you feel the spirit move you, to launch a project to make individual quilts to be sent to California or locally to any number of needful causes:
local foster care kids, as an auction item for a number of charities gearing up their galas/silent auctions, local missions, the VA hospital,
or in readiness for the coming tornado season when they will certainly be needed and appreciated.
Perhaps a weekend “Quilt-in”?
Whatever you decide, I sincerely wish you much success.
