Going to the Dogs.......

When you are a quilter you end up with lots of little pieces that you trim off when finishing any project. Little pieces of fabric. Small sections of batting. Lots of extra thread ends. And usually these "schnibbles" go into the trash.

I found a new use for them and my friends at North Shore Quilt Guild are helping me re-purpose our left-overs. We now stuff pillowcases (also made from un-wanted or left-over fabric) and take these pet beds to our local Humane Societies. The staff there is happy to take them in and use them for kittens, puppies, gerbils, rabbits....whatever. We don't care - just another way to share the wealth and meet a community need.

Plus it's nice to know that even the smallest pieces of sometimes very-expensive fabric doesn't have to go to waste!

Time for a run to my local Humane Society.....the back of our car is full.
