I just popped over to your blog, and it...Hi Karen! I just popped over to your blog, and it's so delightful! Your quilts are to die for. And I really enjoyed the post about your new sewing machine. I have an "Old Faithful" as well, not quite as old as yours was, but it's got a lot of miles on it. The last project I completed with my machine was t-shirt quilts for my five sons for Christmas (not technically quilts, but patchwork blankets), and it held out long enough to finish them--but then shortly afterward died completely. I am currently trying to decided if it's worth it to try to have it repaired, or if I should just get a new one.<br /><br />Anyway--<br />Just a quick note: we did get to see "Old Fashioned" recently, with our second oldest son and his wife...and I'm sorry to say that we didn't give it high marks. The idea behind it was good, but the acting and overall moviemaking weren't top notch. And the main male character could grate on you after a while. He was a guy who had made a big change in his life, from living a life of sin to being a man of character, and this is of course completely admirable and a good message for young people; but as our son said, no young guy would look at that character and think, "I want to be like him." They'd be thinking, "He's so boring! If being good means you have to be no fun and make all your friends mad at you, then I don't want to be like that!" And my husband noted that the actor never did a full smile, just this hesitant half-smile that was endearing the first few times he did it, but became kind of annoying.<br /><br />We're being a little nit-picky, perhaps, but we all agreed that although we admire the filmmaker's intention with this movie, we didn't really enjoy it. It wasn't as well done as the trailer made it seem.Laura Pearlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16108081477711821273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-66625600849324126622015-03-04T04:48:54.079-05:002015-03-04T04:48:54.079-05:00'Old Fashioned' looks like a wonderful mov...'Old Fashioned' looks like a wonderful movie - I'll have to keep an eye out for it.Karen @ Pieces of Contentmenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00719349569606790410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7932448625116124069.post-67866196284692003442015-02-18T16:56:13.688-05:002015-02-18T16:56:13.688-05:00I should have had Past Suspicion on this list--tha...I should have had Past Suspicion on this list--thanks for pointing out the oversight!
