Le patchwork de Noël

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.

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.

I have watched numerous romance movies from hallmark, reel and others. This was a pleasure to watch, thanks to the lead actress. She smiled a lot during the movie which is often done in romance movies, but in this case, it was nice to see her smile. If another person acted the role, this movie will be hard to watch. Making quilt is not as exciting as I thought it would be bu the leading actress made it fun to watch. I think she is under-rated and should be in more movies. The side story with the sister was a nice addition. The supporting actors were good also. The useless drama in such movies was toned down, which was nice. Highly recommend it as a clean, family oriented movie.

I'm a huge fan of Christmas movies and this one didn't disappoint. The premise wasn't anything unusual, but what sets a good Christmas movie apart from the others is the acting. Some actors are just so cringe worthy and you can literally see them acting, but in this movie they were believable. The lead actress I found very endearing and she came across so naturally. Her smile made me smile, and her reactions felt lifelike and not overdone. The supporting cast I really liked, and the relationship between the brother and sister was so heartfelt.

Overall a good Christmas movie, but the lead actress stole the show.

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.
