    I am in the process of downsizing our home and need to eliminate some fabric from my stash. I would like to donate it but am searching for places close to home that would accept the donation. I have no extra monies for postage. I live in So California. Anyone have some ideas?

    Many churches have craft groups that make items for donation. Perhaps you could call around? Or, google CA quilting guilds & call them about whether they do charitable donation quilts? Good luck!

    Do any of your LQS have a Project Linus or other charity quilt drives? They would take it to use for them. I am sure many here would paid shipping for 100% cotton also. What do you have?

    Seriously!! A flat rate box would fit a lot of fabric. ;) Instead of waiting on people to mail you a check if you do paypal they can put it in your paypal acct. ?

    Church maybe.. I know the church I used to attend had a pantry with food, clothing, and misc items they would open up twice a week to help out families in the area.

    our senior center takes donations to make charity quilts. you might check with the one near you. or ask the charity who makes quilts for them to find a quilter to take the fabric.

    I can't seem to find who it was. Sorry!!!!

    There is a coordinator for Quilts for Kids in the Long Beach area as well. If you have some kids fabrics or bright colors they would probably love to have some of it!
