    I am rather moved. The film shows very well how quilts have played an important role in the story of the USA, serving as powerful means of expression, yet practical items. The are rich with stories, reflecting the lives of those who made them. Also, it's incredible to see how this tradition continues today, with contemporary artists bringing their perspectives. These quilts are not just pieces of art; they are important reminders of history and heritage. The film does a wonderful job.

    I'm very inspired by Syd Carpenter's perspective. Her mention about not feeling like a master craftsperson because she is constantly learning is a refreshing reminder that even the most skilled artists continually evolve. She clearly has a wealth of knowledge and experience and her work is stunning and unique. I am particularly interested in the stories behind each piece and would love to learn more about her inspirations. Truly an inspiring artist with a lot to say, both through her words and her work.
