I think the show honored and respected her and her family. I think she needed to clean up things and get them organized, doesn't appear she was a hoarder or anything; her passion just got out of hand. She didn't see how it affected her husband or family until Peter opened her eyes to the affects her passion had on them. With a less cluttered surrounding, things shouldn't be chaotic, and her Quilts of Valor Chapter will benefit as much as the Veterans who receive their beautiful gifts of handmade love. This has inspired me to get going on a quilt for a soldier I know.

my feeling was that peter didn't provide enough Work Surfaces. There is room for another table, and her quilty ladies gather at her house to make these quilts. Nonetheless, the cabinets he made are wonderful. I didn't notice what he did with the floors... hopefully she is not working on cement.
as for heating and cooling, southern california can be hot in the summer and chilly in the winter. I don't know about that room... Not to focus on the negative, but it just seems unfinished and uninviting. to me.

The show was good to point out how her passion had taken over any time she used to spend with her family and finished with how she can do both. Her husband was so quiet!
As for the quilting in the garage - they did insulate the walls, I didn't notice what they did with the floors either. I liked all the storage area she had to be organized with her fabric, but agree that she needs to have more work space for when her group comes to quilt. Also there was not decor in the garage so to me it felt like a storage area with a work table and sewing machine in it.
To compare it to the Extreme Makeover - Home Edition show.... when they do one of those homes it isn't finished at the time of the show. One house they did in PA there were workers still there doing things to the house several months after the taping when we drove by it, but it was before the show aired.
My DH watched it with me and asked me not to have that much clutter. I told him I wouldn't. ( I don't like clutter. She had admitted that she was a clutterer all her life, so I wonder how long she will keep this nice and neat.

Watched the show last night - not sure how anyone could even produce a final product in that mess - I was totally amazed that when it was all cleared and sorted she only had ONE machine ... maybe the others got lost and donated with the rest of her clutter.
