heyportard: The Quilt (Before Lola was born I secretly asked the cast to help create a quilt for her birthday. Each section of the quilt would represent a quality the cast member wished for Lola. The quilt would be like a Hope Chest. Each cast member was responsible for making her own section. -Jennifer Beals ) Mia: I didn’t know about babies at the time. Leisha: [laughs] Mia: And I sewed a photograph, the Polaroid, to the quilt. Leisha: With lots of black Sharpie. It looked like a prop from a horror film. Jennifer: …the black Sharpie nightmare sequence… [laughs] Mia: Where is it? Jennifer: Laurel has it. But I remember..didn’t I send your square back to you…? Leisha: [laughs] It was redo. Mia: I got really frustrated.  Jennifer: It was a redo, it was a redo! [laughs.] And then you had, did you have Deb (our truck costumer] do some of it? Leisha: You probably had someone else make it. Jennifer: Didn’t you bring the stuff in to Deb to do it? Mia: I just was like, “I don’t know how to use a sewing machine, I don’t understand why I can’t use the photograph, the Sharpie’s not right either.” Like it was all wrong for a baby and I was just so upset by the whole thing and you were really upset with me and I was trying really hard.  Jennifer: It was handed to me in a brown paper bag, as I recall.  Mia: It was? Jennifer: Yes. Brad (our assistant director) handed it to me. “Mia left you this.” There was a brown paper bag. And I opened it and I was like, “What the hell?!” [Laughter.] It’s a toxic Polaroid…It was beautiful, I have to say though, it was beautiful, it was a work of art, but NOT for a baby. Mia: It was totally inappropriate for a baby. Jennifer: But it worked out because it went on the pouch that carries the quilt.  Leisha: You’re so crafty Mia. Erin: What an amazing this that quilt was. I think about that quilt every so often especially since I just had a baby. Just like what an amazing gift. Because it’s not so much the thing that was given to her— it was like the time and the thought and  the process that everybody went through because everybody CARED so much, y’know? It was amazing and that’s what the experience of The L Word was to me. It really was.
