Wonderful! I enjoyed the atmospheric views of the countryside, and the music as well as the quilts. I visited Russia last year and the only quilts I saw were in a restaurant in Yasnya Polyana, outside the gates of Tolstoy's home. There were dolls made of wrapped fabric and wheat(?) stalks and I brought home a small quilt with a small cloth doll in the middle. The only fabrics I saw were dress fabrics and the quilts were made of rather loose weave bright cotton. There was a store with machines and notions off Nevsky Prospekt in St. Petersburg but that is an expensive street. We were told that crafted items, including quilts, were made in the villages.
