The Movie for Needlepointers: Thelma

Thanks to Family Arts, I know that Thelma, a movie just out, is based on the life of a real person, who is 104 and a needlepointer.  Some of the movie was filmed in the real Thelma's apartment so we might get to see some of her stitching.  Apparently she tried to get the actor who plays her to learn to stitch, too.

If you want to see two trailers, check out the entry at IMDB.com.  Meanwhile, get your popcorn ready.

Sadly, this famous pillow lover doesn't know about needlepoint pillows.
