Donating fabric and batting scraps
#1

I am moving and am cleaning out my quilting closet. I have some fabric and batting scraps I'd like to give away. Some of the batting pieces are especially large but I don't want to bring them with me. What should I do with it? Is anyone here near San Jose, CA and would want it?

Contact a local quilting guild to see if they make charity quilts. If not, then try some local churches or even retirement homes. Here in Va Beach we have a sewing bee that does charity quilts as well as my local church. So there are plenty of places to donate fabrics.

If you could get it to Lincoln Glen Mennonite Brethren Church in San Jose and say it is for Mennonite Central Committee (relief arm of Mennonite churches) it will be sent to Mennonite Quilt Center who make quilts and auction them for the relief work.
