    That is so sad! I'm not sure what the cause of the problem is or what the solution is....but whatever we're doing now is not working.

    don't forget all the pillowcase drives that will be coming up

    great use for that gorgeous yardage.
    and you don't have to limit to 'charity', you can make them for every family member, every organization member, every sewing/fishing/golfing/chess person of groups you belong to. Ride share gang, weight watchers group or leaders, study class, the people you send holiday cards to... That should use up stash. And as the stack grows what a feeling of progress and satisifaction.
    Even tiny communities like Kalama have some kind of helping hand group, they could probably uses about 1000 pillow cases now that I think of it. too bad I don't have a stash but I think I'll bring it up for our little stitchery group. right now we are doing hospice quilts but it's just a 12 bed facility so that will soon be finished.

    o 1 Yard Print (Body of Pillowcase)
    o 1/3 Yard Coordinating Solid (Cuff of Pillowcase)
    o 1/2 Yard Coordinating Print or Solid (Trim of Pillowcase)
