I have a friend who works at a quilt shop. Whenever someone cleans out their stash, they bring it to the QS. She then gives it to me for the local high school. My other friend teaches Fashion and the kids just love the fabric. She starts them out with basic projects and then gets them into quilting. They love it!

Don't even have class plays anymore.
But I do donate my empty thread spools to the preschool classes. They cut sponges in shapes and glue the shapes to the spools. Make great handles for little hands.

My LQS has a "yard sale" section on the mezzanine of the store. You can bring any unwanted fabric and sell it there. The shop owner keeps the cash and gives you that amount in store credit. I have not taken any to the yard sale, but I have purchased some very nice fabric from it.

it is a tragedy mlaceruby that they have done that. I understand that sports bring in some money and are a way for some kids to get into college, but with out art or music or even home ec how are they going to do sports?

We are lucky to still have art and home ec here. I hope they keep them. It's part of a well rounded education. They did just drop the small engine and building maintenance classes they had. My son is special needs and that building maintenance class was the high point of his day. He graduated in '98 and still is in touch with the great guy that taught it. He lets Mike help with his house remodeling. This dear man is 65 and has adopted all five of his grandkids so they wouldn't go into foster care. He has a big heart.
