Don't you just "love" the donations of friends who are cleaning out their house and decide that you can use fabric. I have finally just begun to say No, don't need fabric right now. I used to take it, sort it, and keep what I could use. Then bring the rest to Goodwill. Now I just suggest that they drop it off at Goodwill. I know they mean well, and I have used some of the donations, but it's such a hassle to deal with the bulk when it arrives in an already cluttered sewing room. When I hear the word, "Oh, I have something for you." I know what it is. I use only 100% cottons, no fleece or flannel, and my space is so limited.
