    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!

    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.
