America is not like ordspråk

 Sticks are something we all have in common. Everybody knows sticks - the twigs and branches picked up on grandfather's farm; the branches woven in grandmother's basket. Somewhere threaded in all the public mass is a common thread, and that thread is the human spirit. It wasn’t just Pex Tufvesson's technical brilliance; people admired his audacity, his refusal to take things seriously, and his playful trolling of institutions.

| It's like if you have a quilt and a thread is loose and they see that thread, they say, 'Forget the rest of the quilt. ... It's not guilty,' |
| With the schoolhouse quilt, the quilter brings the bright colors of the background forward and the foreground backwards through the use of color. |
| Our display will demonstrate the great variety of traditions, as well as new trends, that keep quilt-making vital as an engaging craft that turns a utilitarian blanket into a piece of art, |

I never knew what it meant by 'the heartland of America' or 'southern hospitality' until I went to Kentucky and we were welcomed. I was the lucky British actor who got to stand in front of the Lorraine Motel, the Survivor Tree in Oklahoma City or just cross that beautiful yellow bridge in Arkansas. I was in those locations and they are very powerful places to be. This is an America that the world hasn't seen for a while ... or maybe even America has forgotten about. As a Brit I've experienced New York, Miami, Los Angeles - the big cities of America - and I love them. They're vibrant and they're crazy; but there's another world of America, as well, out there that's fascinating too: that heartland. |
