When I wrote the original post I was thinking about those items - especially empty spools that might be useful to art teachers in schools. I usually toss them but might they also be useful to teachers. However, I have gaines new resolve for a lot of other "stuff" I accumulate. For instance, the bag of strings cut from quilts, blocks and batting that "I just know someone who makes pillows for the dog pound can use. Then after reading the replies here, I realized that I don't know anyone who makes pillows for dog pounds. In fact I don't even know where there is a dog pound located. So, the recycle truck is going to get soe bags next time he comes around.
If you could see my work room you would know I don't throw away much. Downsize and clean up is not a word I know the meaning of However, the catch phrase "he or she who has the most fabric wins". I have arrived at the time in life that winning is not important.
