I enjoy watching How to make an American Quilt, it's something even my DD enjoyed.

I was so mad after watching that movie! The film was a beautiful story about quilts and the love put into them when they are being made. Then at the end, they give the quilt to the bride, the couple were in a van in an orange grove, she gets out of the van and runs thru the grove, in the wetness of morning dew, with the quilt dragging in the mud!!

So Dear To My Heart is a cute movie. They called the quilts kivvers. Not sure of spelling.

I love this movie!!!!!

Oh that got me spittin mad - that scene. All that red clay mud on that beautiful white applique. Shame on her! But, if we are to assume that it was her gift (as the character in the movie), then she can do with it as she pleases. That's how some quilts become dog blankets.

Sorry.... the scene where she runs with the quilt wrapped around her...and yes.. it does get soiled...BUT.... it's all in the portrayal of being wrapped in love.... I am happy to see my quilts being loved & even used outdoors if it means the person knows that it was given to them in "love".

I agree!!! Anyone who appreciates quilts would have been livid with that final scene......but it was a good story to that point.

Ewww, I'm gonna check this one out! Love story and Quilting - the best!

So Dear To My Heart looks cute. I'll see if I can find it. And I was ticked at Winona over that quilt scene, too. Especially after I read about how quickly that quilt had to be made in time for filming. The ladies who made it had to really hustle. I can't imagine how they felt when they found out what happened to all their hard work.

I make my students watch that movie every year because I love it!
