April makes me think about spring cleaning - not a favorite job but a necessary task to sort through drawers, closets and my quilt room. Also, April 22nd is Earth Day and we don’t want to fill the landfills with anymore of our castoffs. Even the local thrift stores occasional cry uncle – just too much stuff. So, what to do? ECO World in Fresno recycles shoes, clothing, and more plus our cotton scraps. Nothing will go to the landfill – nothing! Everything finds a new home/use or may be transformed into carpet padding. There are bins in Fresno for drop off and they pick-up donations in Oakhurst, too. For more information go to their website or call. https://www.ecoworldtrading.com/ 559-369-4212 If that’s too drastic for your fabric scraps, either pick a really cool scrap quilt project and start cutting, or bag them up and share them with an SMQA scrap lover. Bev has made two bed-sized scrap quilts, mostly with scraps from friends, and is cutting a third. No doubt the Guild has many other scrap quilters. Betsy and Bev
