I love your Fallscapes' flimsies, Oksewglad.

I went to my church quilting group yesterday and I was telling them about the donated knits and our lovely 84 year young host said, "Connie, please go through those piles and boxes and take out the knits you can use. There is another box under the table." I smiled and said sure.

A lady dropped off some boxes while I was sorting through the knits and I helped our host sort through those also. Needless to say, a few of those boxes ended up in my trunk along with the knits. .

We do get some 'unusable fabric' (like spandex or nylon). Sometimes it can go in the quilts as an extra layer and sometimes it just goes in the bag for USAGAIN.

P. S. My volunteer group that makes baby items was surprised when I arrived last night with more knits-about 46 pounds worth. Most of it was solid colored knits but it was good quality. It will make great baby t-shirts or baby gowns.
