I like fact I can mail it directly. That's great! I have a quilt at the quilters now that will be perfect to donate.

I joined a group that made the Cool Ties for the soldiers. It turned into basic training! Donated high quality cotton was rejected as being too girly if it had flowers or any pastel color or any shade of pink at all. Aren't there lady soldiers too? the cheap novelty fabric was accepted. One lady serged over 200 ties and they were rejected, no serging allowed. The Cool Ties are small, around the neck under the shirt, wet and dirty. Why all the rules about color and serging? Most of the ladies quit coming to make them. Oh the lady that serged hers, sent them to her grandson whose in the military and he said they were grabbed up in seconds.
