This is so true lol!!! I have a friend a fellow quilter I would consider a hoarder she has her basement filled hard to walk around down there and filled to the ceiling laying around piled on top of each other. In the bedrooms it in the closets, in and on top of the dressers, under the bed and also piled up on the floors. The living room and kitchern is or should I say has fabric everywhere! Also besides the fabric she has tons of other crafts and UFOs mixed in the messes. I have never seen her use any of her stash over the years and when she does a new project (which may end up being another UFO) she runs out and buys new fabric to do it...of course she ends up buying extra (colors) she won't be using in that project, but because she might makes something out of it later...lol.
She will come to my house and will ask me for my scraps, fat quarters and yardage...would this be consider a hoarder still even thou she doesn't have left over food in with the mix?
