How to Donate Quilt Fabric

Quilt fabric is not always easy to find for some people. As a result of this, those of us who have extra fabric should consider donating it. There are various places that quilt fabric can be put to good use. So instead of storing this fabric away, give it away to people who will enjoy using it.

1. Search your home for what you would like to donate. You can donate fabric regardless of its color, type or size. Once you have found the fabric, check to make sure it is still clean and fold it neatly into bundles. You can place the fabric into plastic bags that are easy to carry.

2. Call your nearby charity shop. Once the quilt fabric is prepared and ready to go, call a nearby charity shop. These shops will sell donated items to raise money for a particular charity. You can ask the charity shop if they are accepting donations and if they would like your quilting fabric. Some charity shops prefer to accept donations only during business hours, instead of leaving it outside the store.

3. Contact sewing, quilting and craft groups. Sewing and craft groups and guilds within your area might also like to receive donated quilt fabric. These groups will use the donated fabric to either make a new quilt or for another art project. You can search the telephone directory or look online for any sewing or craft groups.

4. Call a senior citizens community center. Another place that might be in need of quilt fabric is a senior citizens community center. This type of community center can often have quilting groups are crafting activities. Just call a few community centers to ask if they would like your donated quilting fabric.
