Title: Old Sample Books
Post by: Ageorge on September 05, 2014, 11:26:51 am
Quick Question...what do you do with your old fabric sample books? I have a huge box of them and can't seem to give them away! I've posted ads on craigslist, and asked friend on facebook, but nobody seems to want them. I hate to throw them out and into the landfill, but I'm getting sick of seeing them in my shop. Any suggestions?

I throw mine out and in to the landfill.

Back in the day, you could donate them to a local school for art projects. But now, the maintenance man for our local ISD tells me that all those "donations" go straight to the dumpster.

In the past, ladies doing crafty projects would ask me to save stuff like that for them. But I got tired of it piling up to the ceiling.

So now, if anybody wants my old sample books or any other scraps, they're welcomed to check my curb twice a week.
