Maybe I need a nap!I did tell him I would. I somehow think that if I want to call it a rhapsody he will not complain. However, I have another one planned, so this one may be called something like almost rhapsodic partly to fit in with the next one.

P.S. can I blame you when I get caught breaking the rules

Originally posted by ferretI really enjoyed watching it, but having read the posts here I feel like I watched a different movie
I loved hearing a bit of background to the quilts and seeing details that don't come out in photographs.
Mostly I was interested in the mechanics of things. How the quilters design, how they ship their quilts (and that they worry about doing it). How the quilts are handled at the show (I have to make quilts that can be folded without damage). How the judges see the quilts, which leads me to thinking it is a lottery more than ever. If a quilt is going to be paraded like that is it better to have a smaller quilt that will hang and show all it's features for example? Just seeing how quickly the judges made their decision leads me to feeling there is a lot of luck in the process.
For me it was a great learning experience, so thank you, as for the controversy, yeah and? I get it a lot, so my quilts are useless, I like them and I am going to keep making them. I'd love to be able to hand quilt but my hands and shoulders don't like it at all, so I will do what I can and have fun.
Ferret
I agree with you Ferret, I thought that luck (and the judges personal taste) rather than if the quilt was technically well made etc - it all seemed a bit hit or miss. Very subjective, but interesting all the same to watch.
I did enjoy watching the show though, and one day maybe in my lifetime I would like to make it to a Houston or Padducah show. Even our largest show here in the UK is not even a fraction of the size of those shows. It would be totally overwhelming for sure.
It is a shame that the hand quilters were portrayed in the way that they were, as I am sure that not all hand quilters feel that way. Like you Ferret my wrists can't handle the hand quilting. We'll just stick with the longarms instead !!!!

The songs were fun too.

Hey, I rewatched Stitches and was looking at Caryl Bryer Fallert's segments. She was shown working on one of her designs using some kind of software. I wrote her an email and asked her what software she was using. She responded immediately and told me she was using CorelDraw graphics suite. We had a few back and forth emails.
I already had CorelPainter 11, which I love, but I needed something more vectorly (is that a word).
So I ordered the software. It came and my computer won't read it,but my sons tell me it's the dvd reader I have, and they will help me fix it. It can be read on my son's computer :roll: so I don't think replacing the disc will make any difference. So now I have to wait until my oldest son can get over here with something he thinks might make it work. Oh sigh. I hope he can make it work.
But anyway, in the process I found out what a delightful woman Caryl is, that she is the same age I am, and that she runs some really interesting workshops there at her home in Paducah. Take a look on her website. http://www.bryerpatch.com/

Thanks for the welcome. I had not even realised that the forum existed. I subscribe and have watched every single episode of every series and wait patiently for the next one each fortnight. They are great !! so I should have seen the forum by now !!
To introduce myself I am a longarm quilter here in Colchester, but have been patchworking for many years before I started to longarm !! Although since starting longarming for customers, I don't get as much time for my own stuff anymore.
Thanks again for the welcome

I watched Stitched yesterday afternoon and I loved it. I hope it makes it to the "big time" so more people will realize that quilts are more than something to sleep under. Not that sleeping under a quilt isn't a good thing! I made a bronze that looks like a Lone Star. I made at the Shidoni foundry in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It is very different. I once had an idiot man say to me when I told him I made bronze quilts "Aren't they heavy to sleep under?" I replied "yes" and I walked away. I didn't need to hear his nonsense. So, my hope is for "regular" people to see this movie and maybe get a little understanding of the work, time and art involved in all quilting.... machine or hand. I'd like to thank TQS for getting this movie for us to see. And thanks to all the TQS friends who understand. geneva in Lincoln, CA.Geneva

I found it a fascinating story about 3 wonderful quilters. The controversy between art quilting and traditional hand quilting was interesting to hear and to think about. I understand where the traditional quilters are coming from, but we all need to make room for new ways of creating quilts. How would those traditional quilters react to "paper quilts"???? Thanks so much for offering us a "free" view!

I finally had the chance to watch the movie "Stitched", it really is eye opening to see the behind the scenes of any process but this was fascinating. I lurk in the shadows of "Art Quilting" only cause I lack the confidence, patience, and at times I think the creativity to try. I am traditional in my quilting, and therefore I can understand the feelings/thoughts of traditional quilters. Quilting is artsy by any standard today and I appreciate the work, effort, thought that goes into any quilt. I am truly looking forward to Houston this year for many reasons, Thanks for listening, Pat
