Happy for you.

I don't see much fabric on ours either. Since I don't see it until the evening, most things are usually taken.

Glad for you though.

You can always post a 'wanted'. I make charity quilts and post about once a year or so about what I do and how I'd use any donations. I've received a lot of donations from people in the first few years. The last 2 years I haven't had any responses. I think it depends on the economy and luck.

I went through my scraps and have fairly good size of scraps and some bigger pieces that I don't want. I just posted them on our local Freecycle.org and had several emails with in minutes!

your lucky all that is ever on mine is kittens!

momcpo 08-18-2011 03:22 PM

I haven't heard of that. Is it a website?

http://www.freecycle.org/ To find your local group

It's a regional email list of people who have things they don't want and people who want things. Check and see if you have a local group...If you don't, you can always start one.

Right now, my freecycle is full of wants and not many offers. You can really tell the economy is bad.

Good for you. The only things on the ones by me seem to be broken appliances. I keep looking though...
