When you cut Hawaiian apparel not all of the full fabric width is utilized and in a short amount of time a busy shop can generate a sizable amount of odd shaped stacks of fabric. Some are as small as 6 x 6 quilting squares and some are ½ yard or more. So many years ago we concluded that giving the fabric away to good causes was a better alternative than adding more volume to a landfill.
But to whom do we give it to? Well and I kid you not, just a few weeks after making that decision we were approached by a local church that made quilts for some great causes, and the rest is history. Now who says God doesn’t work in mysterious ways?
What a wonderful letter and an amazing thing to do Charles. I'm so very proud and happy to see you're able to help people all over the world and literally spread some happy colors to those who truly need it. Not to mention the savings on the environment. Bravo to both you and Peggy!
