What a brilliant concept...don't think we have anything like that here, but I'll do some research. I am in awe of your haul....Thanks for sharing the pics and info.

were you in Mountainview? I know of a store with that name there.

I checked on Recreate in Roseville and it appears to be a non-profit organization that offers assorted art projects (tutoring-like) and is looking for donations and volunteers.

ESQ, I am totally game to go with you in February! I'm looking forward to it! I will start saving my money now (for the quilt store LOL)

is this kind of recycle to be purchased? unfortunately, i havent found any place like this in the Indiana area. Does anyone know where one might be?

There was an article last week in the Everett WA 'Herald' newspaper about men inmates in the Monroe WA prison who are using donated fabrics to make quilts for charity! They've donated several hundred since the program's inception in 2008. The photo showed an inmates's two big beefy arms, covered in tatoos, with part of a quilt top he's been working on & comments about how therapeutic it's proven to be. Of course WE already knew that...

I shouldn't leave anyone with the impression that I came home empty...I walked out with a huge bag, stuffed to the brim!!!!!!!!! I'll try to get photos in this week!

Yes, it was Eddies in Sunnyvale on Mathilda Ave (close to Mountain View). Huge store and wonderful selection of all kinds of quilting fabrics and notions, and machines too!

And yes Sugar, we'll be good to go in Feb!
