    Default Old fabric and leather swatches

    Hundreds of hanging fabric samples and also leather swatches are thrown away every year when they are discontinued by the makers. Most stores put them in the dumpster. At The Keeping Room we save them for Holly Moran, and she turns them into usuable products for those in Assisted Living with walkers and wheelchairs, all at no charge. This past weekend she made 93 of these to donate from a group of Century fabrics that were recently dropped.

    Go Holly!

    If anyone here wants some, they are always free of charge (fabric and leather) pick up at the store or just pay shipping.
