I am definitely an avid recycler and regifter. If I cannot or will not use it, I regift, recycle or donate to others. I figure someone else may find it useful even if I do not. Storage space is finite for me so I figure why not use this space for things I am gonna wear or use.
For example, a stranger I met in Joann's, after us talking for a bit, wanted to give me some 'quilt' fabric. Of course I said yes I will take it. When I picked it up there was 'basement smell' to it and a lot of it was not my type of quilting material. I picked out a coupla pieces I could use and dropped a trash bag full at the Goodwill. I am sure some other quilter will find that fabric and feel they have hit the jackpot.
Sometimes at estate sales, if I can get quilty items or shirts in a bag sale, I will pick up what I can stuff in the bag, keep what I will use and do a PIF on this board for the rest. After the holidays, I have several PIF's that I need to do to thin my stash. Sorting through some of my bins for fabric to make holiday gifts this year, I found fabric that will need new homes.
