I had a lot of scraps and yardage that I wasn't going to use and posted on freecycle. Met a very nice woman (I'm her husbands best friend, she very seldom goes to JoAnn's anymore). I always send her an email to give her first dibs on anything fabric related, she along with other women from her church make a lot of charity quilts. We keep in touch by email very often now too, even about other things.
I have received many useful things also, 13 unopened bags of queen size batting sold at JoAnn's, thicker batting on the rolls, lots of fabric, books, templates, a pvc frame (which I gave to a friend who hand quilts) one of the craft tables sold at JoAnn's just to name a few.
