I do not claim donations of quilts on my taxes. Too hard to keep it all separate and then what about the scraps? I DO deduct my sewing machine's cleaning and tune up each year. Approved by my CPA. Some years I claim, others I don't...depends on how much charity sewing I've done.
Edited to add: yes, you have to keep a log of mileage for charity events, and you can also deduct for volunteering and doctor visits. But you have to have a log in case you are audited. Also, check with your CPA to make sure you're on absolutely solid ground with any deduction. Really goofy to do something that will get you audited. Check and double check.
