I'm watching the show onTV where a woman has a whole houseful of fabrics & anything to do with sewing. I mean her WHOLE house. In stacks. You should all feel better about your stashes after seeing this show.
Her son had to relocate to a sm. space in the basement & husb. has a sm. area for himself.

Is she a member of this board? LOL

And????????????????

Oh No..how did they find me?????? I thought I was in hiding!!!

what channel?

that is such interesting show.....

Did they make her sell her fabrics :?:

Did it say where he lived? ROAD TRIP! :D

I've been watching the show all day...but I must have been busy during her's...I can't believe I missed it.

So you're all busted. It's so funny that you all recognized yourselves. LOL

I saw that and I feel really good about my small contained stash

I thought I was bad!!

I missed it too, and I thought I had seen them all.

Wonder what time it was showing......I'd like to see that.....shucks, missed it!

. . . and this was this a problem?? lol

Here in Ariz. that show was on around 5 or 6pm. They've run Hoarder shows all afternoon, evening, & they're still running. I cannot believe people can live this way. I'm watching one right now where the man is going to be put out of his house by the city if he doesn't get rid of stuff. It's against fire code. He could possibly go to jail. He already owes the city $5,000 for the city having to get rid of all of the junk on the outside of his house.

like that's a bad thing? :twisted:

Loved to have seen it! Can't complain I only have 3 bins and thought that was lots!!

I missed that one, too. Watching that show really gets me motivated to get cleaning and tossing. Would love to help her clean out her stash ... as long as she doesn't have cats like some do on that show.

IMHO The men are lucky they are still allowed a room in the house. LOL. We are not hoarders, we are a collector of fine fabrics. ROFL. I resemble that remark.♥♥

If you hoard anything else EXCEPT fabric, it is a mental illness. I totally agree we are collectors of fine textiles!!!
ROFL~~ OK, I gotta get organized!

Where are the cameras? I can't see any! LOL

I agree...and this was a problem? LOL

Was this on TLC??

Hi. are you the person that had thesquare dresdan plate ?

My DH goes with me to buy fabric, so I guess I'm not to bad....yet! LOL

While watching the show about the lady with the fabric and craft supplies I finally admitted to myself that I hoard fabric and craft supplies too!!!! I've always told myself that I was stocking up for when I retired. Well, I'm retired and I have so many projects that I want to make. I'm also finding myself overwhelmed with all my supplies and don't know where to start!

What became of the guy (Peter Walsh)on Oprah's new channel? After they aired the show about the fabric hoarder, I haven't seen any of his programs since! Ya don't mess with quilters, folks. First he attacked a teacher and then a quilter--big no-nos. Most people thought it was the kids who were behind the visit from PW though. And we haven't heard anything more from the quilt lady either. Wondering how her new garage/sewing room has turned out with some use. She was sewing for Quilts of Valor.

I can't watch that show or any of the intervention type shows. They make me so sad...

A lady I knew locally had the hoarding problem with her various craft items. I never saw her house but I can imagine it, because she had her car so jam packed with stuff there was barely room for her to crawl in behind the wheel. Literally to the roof, everywhere else, so I marvel the cops didn't ticket her for driving with her view obstructed. It really was dangerous. She may have had everything she needed with her, wherever she went, but it would take her hours to find it! :o((((

I had so many different craft types saved up for 'when I retire.' Well, that was 13 1/2 years ago. I sold lots of them at a gigantic yard sale my DD's and I had last year. Most of the stuff on the 26 tables was mine. I have agreed to only have 3 types of crafts now and so far I am sticking to it.

omg i didnt see them at my mil's house her new hubby must have snapped and reported her lol she has a whole house just to sew in. her last hubby didnt want to trip over all her stuff so he bought her a house across the street thats where we all sew. its a blast, we call it our woman cave lol.
carla

Does anyone know the name of the fabric hoarder? I've been trying to find a clip of the show on the TLC site.

I think it is funny that we all want to watch the quilter show, if your like me I want to watch to admire the fabric.

Too funny! I guess the husband and son should feel honored that they even have a corner to hang their hats! :lol:

My daughter just started her business as a professional organizer for hoarders and, trust me, it takes a special person to do it. I'd want to slap them and tell them to clean up their mess. She is so patient. I guess nurse or organizer of hoarders wouldn't be my calling, LOL.

Was this on the Oprah Network? If so, she is a lady who does Quilts of Valor & I think other charities. I did four quilts for her in December or January. Nice lady, Barbara W. We chat via email now and again.... I need the de clutterers here today! LOL.

Barbara Winkler

Yes. TLC

To answer your question about the lady who quilts for QOV...I know Barbara and she is doing great. No more fabric in her house since the makeover. And she is thrilled with the work that was done there. This was such a big help to her as you start with one bag on a couch and it went from there.
Barbara has quilting days at various locations and I go to a few and have met some wonderful quilters. She is very organized now as a place to keep everything.

I LOVE hoarding shows of all kinds since they make me feel so neat, tidy and organized!!!!
