The Star Trek Insurrection Quilt
appliquer
Holy Cow lady!
With your observation skills, you should be an investigator. You did good!!
Thanks for the wonderful description.
Want to bet that when that film hits video, we quilters all run out to rent
it, and freeze frame that scene? Then sketch like mad. :)

made by a quilter in Kansas City, but I never have heard a name. You'd
think she (he?) would be shouting it from the rooftops, wouldn't you? It
was really beautiful. I also noticed the wall you mentioned, Merry.
Thought it was very cool. :-)

sounds like a quilt I saw at a quilt show last year in
Lancaster.......DD was with me and REALLY liked it.....so I took LOTS of
pictures to use it as a guideline for her "airplane quilt" (looking out
the window of an airplane onto the earth below-thought the "lines" would
look like mountains). I will have to get the pictures out--and will
bring them with me to Ontario.......then someone can tell me if it is
the same quilt. I didn't stay long enough to see if it had received any
ribbons. This is a bit exciting :)

look in the credits. We went last night too. And that wall kept
distracting me, I kept tying to figure out how to make the background so I
could do the overlay in celtic bars.

Insurrection AND quilt" as a Boolean phrase:
Someone on QuiltNet list is in the Guild with the quilter who was
commissioned to make the S.Trek quilt, she mentioned it. She didn't
mention the quilter's name though. She's in a guild in Kansas City, MO.

http://insurrection.startrek.com is the site. Heavy on Flash, if you
don't have that plugin you'll really want to install it.
VERY cool site, and I haven't even seen the movie. (Next movies we'll
see will either be A Bug's Life if the kids come with us, or Shakespeare
In Love if we go by ourselves...)

You have got to see "Bug's Life" !! It is so fun ! My favorite part was the
outtakes at the end so if you go stay for the credits !

hear it delete now.
It drives me up the wall when people get up and stand around in the
theatre during the credits. Now I WAS brought up in the Victorian era or
earlier, but it is really rude. Not so much in the movies where the
performers aren't there, but some of us like to read the credits (don't
ask 8-}). The issue for me is that that behavior carries over to the
theatre or the concert hall. There you are listening or watching and a
small part of the audience, sensing the end, starts packing up and
leaving. Leaving I don't mind, in fact I can't figure out why those folk
came to begin with. But the rustling and standing and walking up the
aisles. YERCH.
OK I'm done. That was my daily grump allowance. Thank you all for your
indulgence.

I sent a note to Stump the Staff at IMDB but haven't heard anything yet.
Wanted to know who made the quilts in Star Trek, StepMom and, one
other...can't remember off the top of my head what it was.

That was it! I'm such an air head lately! I did know the movie when I sent
the email to IMDB (Internet Movie DataBase).
