Cloth scraps (new) up for grabs
Our DIL is in the clothing business. She has quite a lot of left over materials...mostly cotton,
mostly plain colors that she would like to give to anyone who has a need for it. Am thinking
quilters, rag rug makers, even stuffing for pillows, etc. And there must be other uses. She will
cover shipping charges. No strings attached. Let me know if you're interested or if you know
of anyone who might be. Thanks...zoigal

4. Will pass that idea on to her.
She does give large pieces to local schools home ec departments, but they are not as interested in the smaller scraps. Know any 4H contacts in your area? Thanks for the idea.....z

6. check your local quilt shop,,,,
They often host groups that get together regularly to make charity quilts.
Also churches often have groups that make quilts for charity.

and that is very sweet of her to think of others =)

9. cloth scraps
Are any pieces available yet? I work for a nursing home and the auxillary makes quilts and sells them to buy extras for the residents.
