Every time I read about perfectly good fabric going into the garbage/trash, I find myself starting to twitch and shudder.
I just can hardly bear the thought, when so many of us could use that fabric to create quilts for charity. Especially now with the weather causing so much loss and destruction of homes and possessions. And there are as always, the ill and wounded who benefit from our efforts.
So many of us struggle to obtain the fabrics we use for these good causes, I just cannot understand why anyone would prefer to toss fabric into a landfill rather than pass it on to be used. There are many ways to pass on this fabric, some much less bother than others. But all so much better than throwing it out.
My heart aches to think of such waste. Am I the only one who feels this way?
