I have got 2 places to look- one is a directory, where I can sort by area, and the other is a fill out the form and we'll try to find a place for you. So if one doesn't work, another one will!

I think I've been collecting quilting cottons since 1976-- that was the year of the US Bicentennial and for some reason, quilting was one of the 'old time' crafts that came back. Actually at first you couldn't GET any cotton fabrics- everything in the stores was polyester.

So once it started to be available, I kept the mind-set that THIS IS RARE, if you SEE it and can afford it, BUY IT. A fabric store near me used to have sales every week... so... Um... I have GOT A LOT of cotton fabric. I don't know if they'll mind that none of it is solid colors and some of it is really wild 'conversational'-- but hey, maybe wearing a face mask with red lobsters on it will make someone smile.

Our local hospital is actively requesting cheerful prints!

Excellent! Do you have contact info for them? ( I'm assuming the hospital is somewhere within the US. I don't think any overseas mail would arrive in time to do anyone any good.)

[melannen]

So far they're only asking for local drop-offs I'll let you know if they put up a mail address!

Ok! I think tomorrow I will take off a few hours from sewing in order to make banana snack cake- I just realized some bananas I bought on the 17th are now at the NOW or NEVER stage. Would be a pity to waste them.
