Quilters and crocheters will enjoy the Fall Into Fabric sale

After a rousing success last year, Hunger in Moose Jaw is bringing back the Fall into Fabric sale for all the crafty souls in Moose Jaw.

Taking place on Sept. 7 from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Zion United Church, the sale will once again feature fabric, yarn, scrapbooking supplies, knitting needles, and all kinds of other crafting supplies — all donations from the community.

Last year, Hunger in Moose Jaw executive director Sharla Sept estimated the sale collected a car trailer’s worth of fabric to go home with new owners — one that fit two cars, even — after an outpouring of donations from community members.

The community support has been incredible, said Sept, and she has high hopes for this year’s continuation of what turned out to be a popular fundraiser.

“It went really well for our first year, and that’s why we’re doing it again. We just think it’s a really good fundraiser and it’s kind of unique,” said Sept.

All of the funds raised from the sale will go directly to Hunger in Moose Jaw, into the many food security programs the organization runs for the community. Donations have been pouring in, and more are always welcome. Hunger in Moose Jaw will be accepting donations until Sept. 5, at their office during their summer office hours.

There will be lots to sift through at the sale again this year, with a little something to supply whatever textile project is currently on the mind.

“Come and check it out, our prices are really reasonable and everything is pre-measured,” said Sept. “Or even just come in, have a coffee with us and chat about Hunger in Moose Jaw. . . It’s just a great opportunity for us to be out in the community as well.”
