Is this the show others were talking about? AOL has sev. segments about Barbara's "quilt" hoard.
This isn't the woman I was talking about but this woman is worse. She's a "quiltaholic" for sure.

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!

I'm also finding myself overwhelmed with all my supplies and don't know where to start!

I am glad she is happy about the changes. I got plenty of fabric but am far from hoarding and hope to never get there. It sounds depressing to me. If the fabric and stuff is making you feel bad it is no longer fun. I am so glad she was able to get the help she wanted.

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.
