I'm watching "You've Got Mail". The "Shopgirl" is in her apartment, and there is this beautiful quilt on her bed. I can't help noticing that in most of the movies I watch there are quilts. Do you notice quilts everywhere, too?

Isn't Julia Roberts a quilter?? I think in a lot of her movies there are quilts.... I think it's her anyway.
|
I'm not the only one!? My DH admired the old quilt in Dances With Wolves so I pieced it, Double X. I've started to piece the Album quilt in Friendly Persuasion starring Gary Cooper. I'm sending my online group a center 9 Patch to sign and send back so it will really be an Album Quilt. Everyone in the family lets me know if there is a quilt in whatever they are watching.

i never noticed the quilt on her bed. i'll have to watch for it next time. i watch a lot of HGTV and notice quilts there all of the time. they look so much nicer than some of the duvets, IMHO.
|
Yep! Me too! Can't think of any right now, but my husband and son get tired of me jumping up in the middle of a movie saying "did you see that quilt on the bed???"
|
Not just quilts, but walls , floors etc that would be good quilt designs.

I saw a quilt in Dances with Wolves and it was a Depression era quilt!! - WRONG!!!
we met a lady in Los Angeles with a quilt store, she used to rent quilts out to the studios for movies. She said they usually wrecked them and so they wound up buying them, she was happy either way. |
People also notice old machines. There was a movie set in a sewing factory, and there was a lot of talk about the machines with the large throat (area between the needle and the right-hand side of the machine). Home machines have a much smaller throat, harder to do quilts on.

I was watching the same movie. There is a beautiful appliqued quilt on Meg Ryan's bed in "When Harry Met Sally", and in "Sleepless in Seattle" there is a yo-yo table cloth.
