Le patchwork de Noël

The casting was terrible. These two had zero chemistry and were poorly matched. She looks like she could be his mother and gives him advice like he's a child. The other casting was equally as bad and seamed forced. Her competitor was a very talented actress.

As a quilter, don't know anyone who works like this, Throwing fabric around and saying you're a fiber artist is so overly dramatic. She sewed with the square upside down and in the center of the square, which is not at all how you create a square. The ideas that a new sewer is going to make a quilt in their spare time by Christmas when they were past Thanksgiving (less than. Month) isn't even reality. The pattern they chose was very advanced for skill level and timeframe.

Her shirt was inside out with the tag showing and who did her hair? Not flattering at all.

The set was nicely done and some key clothing items were nice.

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.

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 A creative quilt artist meets a fireman who is more concerned with the outdated fire extinguishers in the community center where she creates.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.

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.
