It depends on who is offering. A good friend passed and I was given all her "sewing stuff". I told them I would take what I wanted and donate to our church what they could use and the rest would go to Goodwill. I kept what meant a lot to me -- she and I had picked out fabric together and I kept that. The church got most of the fabric for charity quilts, the Sunday School and Pre-school got a bunch of craft stuff and the rest went to Goodwill -- even gave the oil paints to the high school art teacher. I make sure the folks who offer me stuff know I won't keep it all and the family needs to know that but they don't always have any idea how to dispose of the large quantities of fabric and craft stuff that we quilters/crafters tend to accumulate and I like to help out friends when I can. Most folks just want to know that things that can be used find a good home.
