OT - Getting rid of fabric

Can anyone tell me what organization would like to get fabrics of various types free of charge? My sister, who passed away this past August, had loads of it as she was a very talented lady who could do just about anything. However, her husband is now trying to unload fabric - mostly for sewing clothes I would think. It would be nice to have it go to a source that could do something very useful with it. He lives in Nova Scotia, Canada, by the way.

Suggest he contact some of the local high schools -- their Home Ec departments might welcome the donations.

I called the Women's Shelter and Salvation Army, both give sewing lessons to displaced and newly immigrated ladies and were thrilled to get the fabric and sewing supplies (thread, binding, zippers, etc) I culled when I had to move a few years ago. They were thrilled with the gift.

HI Sharon, sometimes the wardrobe mistresses of small theatre groups are drooling for fabric donations of any kind for upcoming productions by the company. This would also include high school drama clubs and the like.

The Sisters of Charity are also ready to accept fabric donations for their cause. Other churches in his area might also have a similar charity group who would welcome fabric.

Victoria Quilts is a Canadian charity that makes quilts for cancer patients - they are always looking for donated 100% washable cotton fabrics.

Yes, the postage from Canada would be crazy - it would be wonderful tho' to contribute to Critter Comforts - I'm a big sap when it comes to animals ... just ask my darling Clancy who we adopted from the SPCA 11 years ago - she's been an angel from day one and we love her to pieces. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone .

Perhaps you could set yourself a limit for postage, that you can afford, Sharon; and then send some of it to Jill - up to that amount of weight/postage? . In message , Sharon writes
