Default Hand Quilting Frame

Scrap is a place where they collect all kinds of things and creative
people come and put it to use as art materials. Like a thrift store,
it's a donation - you aren't paid for your donation. But, the quilter
people who frequent Scrap are always happy when a fabric delivery is
made. http://www.scrap-sf.org


We've also been able to donate things to RAFT which is similar to scrap
but for teachers. Clever people who work there often look at the
donated goods and turn them into kits to make board games to teach math
concepts or cool science projects. http://www.raft.net

I don't know if there are East Bay equivalents, but it's nice to know
donations are really being put to good use.

However, just getting the stuff donated and not back at your house is a
wonderful thing.

Ticket day was that sale day? I didn't even remember that. Our guild
ladies do like to shop though - raffle tickets, fabric, speakers stuff...

Tell me about SCRAP Marcella. Otherwise, we just take the leftovers to
thrift stores & donate them.

I was at your sale last year, because we brought our quilt on that day - &
your members were very generous in purchasing tickets!

My friend was on the hunt for homespuns & she found a lot. I think she made
a rag quit for her husband - or the cat - can't remember - maybe it was for
the husband, but the cat loved it!
