My sister lived for her fabric & had to pay for storage facilities when it took over her 5 bedroom house. It became a real problem when she was losing her battle with colon cancer. She died in 2001 with no $ in the bank & when no longer able to work, no income to purchase food, etc. Unfortunately, a lot got trashed as there was just too much to deal with. I was able to move most of the over 2,500 quilting books 300 miles to my side of the state & have sent them all over the world to new homes.
