I am just so tired of having all this bulk around that I cannot manage, and will never do anything with. I was thinking of just taking these boxes to the local half-way house run thrift store, but wanted y'alls input before I do anything. Any ideas?
I have pretty much same issue with a lot of my fabric. But I have several boxes of home dec fabric given to me. If I ever find the time I am going to make tote bags, walker and wheelchair bags, etc. My DDIL gives and gets a lot of stuff through freecycle.com. I have patterns, fabric that I will no longer use that I am going to have her post on freecycle.
