My quilt guild will be making placemats for local food programs to distribute during the holidays. As it happens, one of the collections I consolidated this summer is holiday fabric. I also have leftover pieces of batting that are the perfect size for the placemats. If I use everything, I may free up one square foot of space in the sewing room by Halloween. This is a great start on holiday cheer for me. Perhaps now is the time for you to think about adding donation items to your holiday projects list. There’s always a need, and your reward includes a cleaner sewing space.
Luck and wisdom!
