The show was called "Pennsylvania Quilts" and is pretty good. The man Michael mentioned, though, no longer collects fabric. He used to get waste from mills and distribute it for free, but now he is disabled and there are no more mills where he lives. But it was an inspirational story nevertheless, one of several about quilters of various kinds and types (family quilters, Amish quilters, art quilters, etc.) in the state.
