The Fabric of Christmas

Ok, there is no way that quilt got finished in one night. The binding alone could take a couple days, but piecing stars is time consuming.

It takes quite a while to piece together a quilt that size with that type of pattern...

And while were at it.... the actress that plays his sister would have been a better Amy.

From a costume standard and I am aware that the costume designer is a pro but she needed a necklace for Amy to break up the exposed skin.

His sisters wedding dress, could have been more stylish for a vintage dress.

I know the costume budgets for these productions and I know how popular Christmas movies are but please raise the bar.... I only watched it for the quilt aspect... for the most part it was tough to watch.

Ferelith Young puts a lot more substance into her acting here than what you'd expect, considering that this appears to be just one more Christmas romance movie where boy gets girl, or girl gets boy. In fact, without her, it definitely would be just another one to sit through, because that's what you do at this time of the year. However, she makes this movie.

The story is also a bit different. A creative quilt artist meets a fireman who is more concerned with the outdated fire extinguishers in the community center where she creates. Opposites can attract.

Although low-budget, I can find no fault with the expertise of everything else. I'd probably watch this one again next year.

The is your standard Hallmark-esque movie. The main actor and actress have a nice chemistry, but Ferelith Young needs to STOP with the lip smacking sound. In one scene she did it 5x in about 15-20 seconds. If someone was playing the drinking game, they'd be comatose by midway through the movie.

It makes me wonder if the director or any cast member has mentioned it to her before. Definitely something to work on.

As a child of a volunteer firefighter, Harmon Walsh's character of 'nitpicking' the safety hazards rang true and made me laugh as it was a nice nod to my own memories of my father warning us all against certain dangers people don't think about.

This was a very cute Christmas movie. My mother was a quilter so I understand the excitement that goes into designing, coordinating color schemes for them. The only part of the movie that I found hard to believe that was missed was when they were filming the final dressed rehearsal was when Amy is giving Liam books to look through for pattern inspirational ideas, she is wearing a green Christmas sweater that she is wearing was inside out! Several shots clearly show the tag and you can see the seams are the inside side. It seems that with all the people around during filming, plus the hours of editing, that this as missed.

This is one of the best "cheesy" Christmas movies I have ever seen. Ferelith Young knocks it out of the park with her performance, showing the joys and fears of relationships both romantic...and professional. If sincerity could be acted, Young manages to accomplish the impossible. Her warmth is what makes one's heart sing.

If you think you've watched too many Christmas movies this year, don't pass this one up. The story feels adult. The childishness of other films' conflict resolutions is avoided here. It is heartfelt. The Fabric of Christmas will inspire you to pursue understanding and love for even those with whom you disagree.
