If your guild has a service group, reach in grab a stack and donate it to them. If yor guild is a 5013C you can take a donation credit on your taxes. If you don't have access to a guild service group, call around to local churches to see if they have a similiar group. I found a home for a stack of double knits with a church group who makes blankets for a overseas charity...they were happy as punch to receive the gift. Since you have quilting fabric How about making pillowcases for charity (It will give you a change of sewing for awhile.) Donate to Million pillowcase challenge or Salvation Army, or Children's hospital, or Shirner's Burn Hospitals. When all else fails...TAke a small stack of fabric and give to your guild as a meeting door prize. The key is start small....If you sew with a group my guess is that there is someone who is really suffering in these ecoomic times from lack of employment or fixed income you might invite them over and give them enought fabric to make a quilt or bedrunner, etc. They will be appreciative and you will diminish your stacks. ( I speak from a similiar problem.....I have 8 black garbage bags of material from my Mother's sewing room. She is now in a facility with demetia and can't sew any longer. I have been slowly washing all of the fabric and finding new homes for it.)
