I just took a lot of fabric to my local Senior center. The women there make items to sell. They were very happy to receive the fabric and I was very happy to make space at home for newer fabric.

At our quilt retreat every spring and fall, we have a silent auction where we get rid of our extras (not all sewing related) and the profits go to the camp for some project they are working on. One of the more recent projects was a water fountain for the hall where we all sit and sew or eat our meals. They just remodeled the kitchen and some of our money went towards that too. It's been a lot of fun!
