Saying goodbye to fabrics means it is okay to let go of things we love, that others may benefit faster than if I hold on tight.
I have made Quilts of Valor for about 3 years now. No one has ever donated fabric to me, but the caring of that group is wonderful. I was able to present two of my quilts personally and am now working on one for a young man coming home from his second tour in Iraq and on his way to Afghanistan after Christmas. This is a work I will never abandon.
Supply an address and I will send a box!! Write a letter or e-mail to all the major quilt fabric companies. I bet you will get tons of fabric. My guild got enough from batiks from Kaufmann to make several.
