Her son had to relocate to a sm. space in the basement & husb. has a sm. area for himself.

Looks like they didn't force her to throw away her fabric after all! She sorted through everything and got it into bins. There was a nice big pile to donate to other chapters of Quilts of Valor and then ... they built a wonderful storage area in her garage. The big surprise was members of the Army showing up to help her put it all away. It was so touching!

These made me cry. How out of control she had to have felt and what a wonderful solution! How many of us get overwhelmed with our "stuff" and have not place to go with it. I have been on a pitching missions this week. Paperwork, misc junk, old PC and monitors that have been long replaced with notebook computers,etc. It gets to be too much. While I refuse to have a large stash myself, I felt bad for this gal and her family. Everyone looked so happy toward the end of the video.
