Lol,

There is one scene with a really neat looking quilt and I kept wishing the actress would just move so I could get a better look at it.

I know I'm not alone in this, what movies have you been quilt struck watching?

Is it the movie or the Mini-series? I just love the mini series and have watched it so many times. I usually watch it while I am sewing. It is my favorite sewing program of all time. Just can't get enough of it.

It was the movie, I watched it on Netflix. I didn't even know there was a mini-series!

That's one of my favorite movies :)

Oh, wouldn't that be a nice job? Quilt consultant on a period drama!

Yes! I have the same problem.

The other night my husband was watching a John Wayne film called The Searchers. There were 2 beds, one on the left and one on the right. The bed on the right had a beautiful quilt, looked antique, and I was dying to see the other one but the darned actor was in the way.

Did you know that Jane Austen was a quilter too?

Yes Jane Austen was a quilter. Have you googled her quilt, the one she made with her sister? it is in a museum.It is all diamond shapes! You can get the pattern online free.

yes it was done by the BBC. Colin Firth was Mr. Darcy. He is so handsome......It is about 6 hours long and so good. I had the VHS and a few years ago my kids bought me the DVD set. I guess Blu-ray will be next :lol:

Nah...I figure its terrible when I have to watch something like "Sense and Sensiblility" (just kidding). Not my kind of thing but I know what you mean. I'm more of a sci-fi kind of girl much to my mother's dismay. She LOVES Jane Austin.

That was Pride and Prejudice. I love anything by Jane Austen.

Is it the one with Emma Thompson? Sense and Sensibility is not only my favorite movie, but my favorite book by my favorite author!

I never noticed a quilt....will have to watch it again this weekend!

There are great quilts in "When Harry Met Sally" (windblown tulips on Meg Ryan's bed), and in "You've got Mail."

My bad. You are right. Sorry

No need to be sorry for mentioning Colin Firth, for any reason, at any time!

Barbra Streisand's, "The Morror has Two Faces", had great quilts in it. My favorite was a crazy quilt. "Bridges of Madison County" has great vintage pieces also.

There is a set of movies called the love song series I think. It is set in the western days and it has lots of quilts in the movies.

This is so funny! I hardly watch TV at all, but my husband watches tv all the time he will call me in when he finds a quilt on the program that he thinks I would enjoy looking at, or one he really likes, and maybe I know the pattern, and could make one like that. A couple times he has called me in because he has seen a quilt pattern I have made, and he recognizes it(well, I guess he does pay attention), then he'll say something sweet, like "I like the way you used the colors better. I guess "he buys my chairs" after all. The quote is from "Phenomenon" a movie with John Travolta and Kyra Sedgewick.

I have only just started noticing quilts in movies and TV as I am a relatively new quilter but I have been a painter for some years and even lose the plot trying to look at art works on the walls in the interior scenes! Now with quilts to look for too, well is there any hope for me? Lol!
