Hey, Lilypadquilters! Are you like me, and watch a good many classic movies? Are you ready for a chuckle?
I had a thought today about movie titles (somebody may have already done this, but I just was thinkin'), and how some of them match up with our lives as quilters . . .
The Agony and the Ecstasy
It's not a movie about Michaelangelo . . .
It's the feeling you get when you are cutting up that treasured fat quarter bundle to make a new quilt!
The Red Badge of Courage
It's not a Stephen Crane novel, or even an Audie Murphy "two kleenex" movie . . .
It's the bandaid on your finger or thumb, whilst you hand-quilt!
From Here to Eternity . . .
It's not a romance with Burt Lancaster and Debra Kerr on the beach . . .
It's how far you have yet to go, sewing on that binding on that king-size quilt that was SUCH a good idea, when you first started it!
I wonder if any of you can think of some movie titles that have meaning for us quilters??
Love,
How about "Its a Wonderful Life!" Not James Stewart & seeing life in a new way, but rather being a quilter and having the joy of making quilts as a huge part of your life!
ReplyDeleteAnd then there's "True Grit" - what it takes to complete those UFO's you've really grown tired of and just wish would disappear!
Yep - I can see where this could go on and on..... :*)
Gone With The Wind - just gotta love a gal that can make a dress with curtains!
ReplyDeleteYou made me smile.
ReplyDeleteThe Dirty Dozen: that pile of UFO's you have to finish.
ReplyDelete"You've Got Mail"...we all love those squishies that come in the mail....
ReplyDeleteVery cute!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool post. I might be able to think of other titles, but my brain would have to labor intensively and it would take a while. LOL.
ReplyDeleteLike Tonya said, you make us smile!
The Wild Bunch - quilt guild
ReplyDeleteThe Good, The Bad and The Ugly - a quilters fabric stash
A Cry in the Dark - when the power goes out while free motion quilting
How about Eat, Pray, Love?
ReplyDeleteSnack some, pray that you get a little time to sew and create what you LOVE to do! and then snack some more...
Great post!
