Stitched DVD

This came in yesterday's mail - but 'somehow' we forgot to get the mail yesterday, and I found it this morning when I went to deposit some outgoing mail.  Can't wait to watch it - I love Caryl Bryer Fallert's quilts, because like me, she uses bright colors. (YAY - I figured out how to add a link, so check out her site by clicking on her name above.) I'm not familiar with the other two names.



Stitched is a fun-filled documentary following three quilters racing to complete their entries for the International Quilt Festival, the largest quilt show in the nation. The Houston show draws more than 50,000 quilters including three artists who created some controversy with their work. Quilting legend Caryl Bryer Fallert was the first to win a major prize for her quilt made with a sewing machine. She mentored Hollis Chatelain who caused a stir when she won an award for a painted quilt. And Hollis mentored Randall Cook who sparked controversy with his quilt of a male nude. In this 72-minute documentary, these quilters create their pieces to compete in the 2010 quilt show.
