How to Make an American Quilt (1995)
Manage episode 356402429 series 2870971
Young lovers seek perfection. Old lovers learn the art of sewing shreds together and of seeing beauty in a multiplicity of podcast ramblings. In this Ramblin episode, we thread together the connecting stories of Jocelyn Moorhouse’s HOW TO MAKE AN AMERICAN QUILT, the 1995 adaptation of Whitney Otto’s novel, described by Amazon as a ‘gentle comedy’ We’ll determine just how gentle it is as we welcome our guest - critic and broadcaster Rihanna Dillon - to become a part of the Ramblin patchwork. We discuss Moorhouse’s background and the performances of a stacked cast that includes the likes of Winona Ryder, Anne Bancroft, Ellen Burstyn, Lois Smith, Alfre Woodard, and Maya Angelou. But most importantly, will we find out just how to make an American quilt?
