Announcing "Clean-Out for Quilts"

{ UPDATE }  RESPONSE TO 'CLEAN-OUT FOR QUILTS' HAS BEEN TERRIFIC SO FAR...THANK YOU!

WE ARE STILL ACCEPTING DONATIONS FOR THIS ONGOING PROJECT.  PLEASE SEE BELOW FOR A LISTING OF ITEMS WE STILL NEED.

Please help us spread the word...Clean out your fabric closet and send the scraps our way!

Haiti by Hand is hosting an ongoing "Clean-Out for Quilts" fabric drive.  For several years, a group of women from our local community and churches have gathered each week to sew items for the women and children of Haiti.  We would love for you to be a part of our "quilting bee" by cleaning out your stash of quilt fabrics and supplies and donating them to our efforts here.

We are now accepting the following items...

{ QUILT FABRICS--all sizes & types, except flannel or fleece }

{ FABRIC SCRAPS & REMNANTS }

{ UNFINISHED QUILT PROJECTS }

{ QUILT BLOCKS }

{ QUILT SUPPLIES & TOOLS }

{ QUILT BATTING }

{ QUILT BINDINGS & TRIMS }

{ MACHINE THREADS }

{ RIBBONS & EMBELLISHMENTS }

{ AND OF COURSE FINISHED QUILTS TOO! }

Please contact us via the email link to the right ([email protected]) if you have any questions about this effort.  Send donations to this address:

And as always, thank you for helping us help Haiti.

grace & peace,

I would like to donate fabric but I am unable to go through your email on the right hand of your blog. Could you please email me at [email protected] and let me know where to donate fabric. Thanks so much!

I am so excited about finding this! I was just going through my quilt stash the other day and wondering what to do with some scraps and quilt blocks that I have. This is wonderful! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to help!

I loaded up a box to send out today so I will get it in the mail this week. I have the address already. Happy to help!!

Oh my! I read about this through Pam Garrison's home page. I have a room full of quilt stuff that I will send along. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to donate some of my much loved fabric and notions that I no longer use. Cheers!
