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!!

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".

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.

The best movie that is great for family viewing and has lots of quilts is an old Disney one called So Dear To My Heart.
I laughed until I cried at the goat scene. The quilts are called 'quivers' in the movie, slang for 'covers'. It's a great movie and Burl Ives sings Lavender Blue in it. It would be perfect for your quilt group. |
