QUILTSby Rick Dandes

American quilt making has a history as rich and diverse as the country itself. Utilizing skills and designs brought over by the earliest settlers from Europe, quilting began in Colonial America and is still popular today. Tidbits weaves a picture this week of this much celebrated art form.

• A woman’s daily life in Colonial America was difficult to say the least. Women had to do the spinning, sewing, food preservation, cooking and cleaning while caring for an often-large family. So, who had time for quilting? Well, some women did, mainly those who could afford household help. These women were left with time for decorative needlework.

• Most quilting in Colonial times was done from May through November, when days were longer, and there was more sunlight. Quilting was rarely done by firelight, as the light was too dim for any fine stitching.

• By about 1840 the textile industry had grown to the point that fabric was easily available to most families. Only then did quilting become a common way for women to express their creativity.

TIDBITS GETS FIRED UP ABOUT

NATIONAL BOSS DAYby Stanley Drummond

Bosses are people, too. (Really!) And every year on October 16, America pays tribute to them.• Actually, National Boss Day was created in

1958 by an Illinois secretary named Patricia Haroski. She chose October 16 because it was her father’s birthday. Her father also happened to be her boss at the time. Nevertheless, she felt that bosses in general were underappreciated, and registered the date with the U.S. Chamber of Commerce as an official observance.

• Interestingly enough, a 2005 survey done by an international human resources consulting firm revealed that the majority of employees would not trade places with their boss. The primary reason given was the change that would result between them and their co-workers. They could no longer ignore or laugh at any slackers in their department; they’d be responsible for any poor performers.

• Hallmark started selling Boss Day cards in 1979. While they don’t reveal actual sales figures, they do disclose that the “holiday” is poised to break into the list of top 10 card-send-ing events within the next few years.

QUILTS (continued):• One of the first quilting styles brought to

America by immigrants was that of the elegant whole-cloth quilt. The beauty of these solid white or colored quilts comes from elaborate, closely quilted designs that bring texture and shadows to the quilt.

• What’s the truth about quilting bees? As usual, the truth has been romanticized. Old books and stories tell of neighbors all being invited to a “quilting.” The women would quilt all day, perhaps taking turns around the frame while others cooked up the grand meal that would be served to the men folk that evening. Then it was a time for singing, dancing and courting among young people.

• Although quilting bees did occur, it is hard to get the facts beyond the idealized image. Fiction written in the mid-19th century puts such parties as early as 1800, but it is more likely they began to occur later in the century.

• Many a “quilting” session included only women helping a friend or neighbor finish a quilt. Such a gathering would be a great way for women to get together to socialize. Women could share family news, exchange recipes, give child-rearing tips and in general, support each other. It has been said that next to church going, quilting bees were the primary contact for women.

• In isolated regions, pioneer women coming together to quilt helped them overcome the loneliness that so many of them experienced.

• Many quilters found inspiration from the one book that almost every 19th century family had it its possession, the Bible. There are many block patterns that have their roots in Biblical stories and themes – “Balm of Gilead” and “King Solomon’s Temple” to name a few. But one of the most popular was the “Rose of Sharon,” which used the colors red, green and white, and was frequently used on quilts given as gifts to brides.



QUILTS (continued):

• The most essential piece of equipment for hand quilting was the quilting frame, which consisted of four pieces of wood. Two strips long enough to hold the shortest width of a quilt would have heavy cloth attached along the length. The ends of the quilt would be basted or pinned to this cloth. The other two pieces of wood would hold the first two apart so that the ends of the quilt could be rolled up, leaving a tight section for the quilters to do their stitching. When one section was completed, the quilt could be rolled again, making a new section available for quilting.

• Some quilts, called sampler quilts, contained many different patterns. But sometimes, women quickly stitched a quilt block together, not for future use in a sampler, but as a way to remember a pattern they’d seen on another quilt.

• Some quilt patterns could be found in magazines as early as 1835, but they became more common by the mid-19th century. Magazines like “Godey’s Lady’s Book” tried to influence quilting styles of the day, encouraging women to try the more refined English patchwork and to use silk. It didn’t work. The majority of American women kept using the designs that they were accustomed to.

• By 1890, catalogs offered quilt patterns. If a woman ordered her fabrics from Sears or Wards, she could choose a pattern from 800 designs and buy it for just 10 cents. “Diagrams of a Quilt, Sofa and Pincushion Patterns,” published by Ladies Art, also offered patterns for sale.

QUILTS (continued):• There are legends that claim that during the

Civil War, quilting was used to help slaves escape through the Underground Railroad. A Log Cabin quilt hanging in a window with a black center for the chimney hole indicated a safe place. While they are intriguing, there is not much evidence to support these stories.

• At the turn of the century, the Victorian Crazy Quilt became popular. Crazy quilts utilized multiple kinds of fabrics and stitching styles to create odd shapes that were pieced together.

• In the 19th and early 20th centuries some quilters made use of an interesting material: cigar ribbons. Smoking cigars was a popular activity with many men at this time. To market themselves, many tobacco companies wrapped silk ribbons with their name sewn on them around bundles of their cigars. Women began collecting the colorful silk ribbons, and as a way to show off their collection, often sewed them into quilts.

• In the mid-1920s, the colors of fabrics changed, so quilts changed. Many women stuck to the traditional designs, but executed them in the new pastel colors. New floral designs became popular as well.

One quilting method used during the Great Depression was called “string quilting,” a technique where strips of cloth of varying widths were sewn together. This frugal method allowed women to use every scrap of fabric and waste almost nothing.

• While the mid-20th century saw a decline in quilt making, in the 1960s, quilt making underwent a renaissance of sorts. Interest grew, and by the 1970s, the number of individual quilters and quilting guilds was on the rise. Today, new tools and methods are keeping quilting popular and making it easier than ever before.

Quilting is a great way to “recycle and reuse.” Almost any materials can be combined to create a beautiful quilt that you can pass down for generations. Pieces of fabric left over from other projects are obvious choices, but consider old t-shirts for a fun, funky quilt. Or how about finally doing something useful with all those old bridesmaid dresses? Your imagination is your only limitation.

Flea markets and yard sales are great places to look for old quilts or quilt blocks. Start by looking through bags or boxes. Fragile pieces can be matted and framed under glass in the same way as a sampler or other hand-worked textiles.

A young girl went to spend a few weeks with her grandmother, who decided to teach her how to sew. After going through a lengthy explanation of how to thread the machine, the young girl stepped back, put her hands on her hips, and said in disbelief, “You mean you can do all that, but you can’t operate my Game Boy?”

Some quilt historians believe that the peak period of American quilt making occurred from 1775 to the mid 1800s, but excellent examples are being discovered every day from all periods, including the present. Michael James and Nancy Crow, for example, are two superb modern day quilt pattern designers.

The Right Outfitted Hunt Research Is A Must

By Tresa EricksonYou’re accustomed to flying solo when you hunt, but lately, you’ve been thinking you might like to go on an outfitted hunt. Your brother-in-law just went on one and had a great time. Of course, not all outfitted hunts are created equal. Some are better than oth-ers, and to ensure you get your money’s worth, you need to do your homework.

Outfitted hunts can cost hundreds to thou-sands of dollars, so it is imperative that you choose the right one. Get recommendations from friends and family, and if you’ve got the funds, consider hiring a booking agency. They specialize in outfitted hunts and will do all of the legwork necessary to present you with the best options.

However you go about finding an outfitted hunt, make sure you shop around and find out as much as you can about the hunts that

interest you. Here is a list of questions to ask:• How long has the outfitter been in business? The more experience they have, the more like-ly they are to provide you with a good hunt.• What kind of hunting does the outfitter specialize in? If you are a bow hunter, then you want an outfitter who specializes in bow hunting and can provide you with a hunt cen-tered on that.• Who will be guiding the hunt? How experi-enced are they in general and with the area? Don’t assume the outfitter will guide the hunt. They may take on the duty themselves or del-egate it to someone else. Whoever serves as your guide should be familiar with the game and area. If your guide has never hunted the game you’re after or been in the area for just a few weeks, chances are you are in for a rough hunt.• What kind of accommodations are pro-vided? Usually, the more the hunt costs, the better accommodations you can expect. Don’t count on this, however. Find out. Pop-up campers and campfire food may not provide the type of rest and nourishment you seeking after a long day out in the field.• How many hunters are involved? The more hunters covering the same piece of land, the less likely you are to bag one. If you’re looking for some privacy, be prepared to pay for it.• What kind of equipment will you need to bring? Good outfitters will provide you with a complete list of equipment and supplies you should bring.• Who takes care of any game that is bagged? Better outfitters provide ATVs to take you

back to camp and staff to care for the game.• How much does the hunt cost? Are there any additional fees? Find out exactly what the cost is and what it entails. You don’t want to arrive to camp and have to shell out more money for this and that.

These are just some of the basic questions you should ask about the outfitted hunts that interest you. You will probably come up with more. Don’t hesitate to find out the informa-tion you need and make sure you get a list of references with the names of successful and not-so-successful hunters. Follow up on those references and call your local state wildlife agency to ensure the outfitter is on the up and up.

When it comes to selecting an outfitter, the more research you do, the happier you will be with the results. Whether you bag one or not, you will leave the hunt satisfied that every penny spent was worth it.

Much has been said about fuel efficiency. With cars, truck, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes, research and development of more efficient transportation has been a hot-button topic for years. The Boeing 787 Dreamliner is one of the new airplanes that is currently being built and should be flying for several airlines by the end of 2010. Boeing says that the new Dreamliners “will be the most ‘green’ commercial air transport in the world.”

When an aircraft flies faster than sound, it is said to be supersonic. The speed of sound is about 768 miles per hour (1236 km per hour) at sea level. If you hear the term Mach 1, it is referring to the speed of sound. So, anything faster is supersonic. You may hear of speeds up to Mach 5, or five times faster than the speed of sound! Top speed for the Concorde was Mach 2.04 (about 1350 mph or 2173 km/h). Most fighter jets are supersonic.

Waiting for our flight at Gate 35, I was reading when I heard an announcement, “We apologize for the inconvenience, but Flight 501 will board from Gate 17.”

So I picked up my luggage and moved to Gate 17. About ten minutes after getting settled, another announcement came, “Flight 501 will now be boarding at Gate 35, as originally scheduled.”

I gathered my belongings and returned to the original gate. After settling down again, the gate agent announced, “Thank you for participating in our airport physical fitness program today! We’ll now board your flight so you can sit for three hours!”

“The Incredibles” was the name given to the mechanics, engineers, construction workers, secretaries and administrators who made aviation history by building the largest civilian airplane in the world, the Boeing 747, in less than 16 months. The first flight was on February 9, 1969.

Health Care Changes Are Here ... Almost

In case your health insurance company hasn't told you, there have been changes courtesy of the new insurance laws in the Affordable Care Act. Some of these could save you money.Many of the changes to health care will be phased in during the next few years, ending in 2014, but a number of them became final last month and will take effect when the next policy year begins.Insurers will no longer be able to:• Arbitrarily cancel a policy unless there is fraud. They also can't cancel a policy retroactively.• Deny or limit coverage to children under the age of 19 who have pre-existing medical conditions.

• Deny a claim without an appeal. An independent reviewer must examine the decision to deny treatment or tests.• Put a lifetime dollar cap on benefits when people have a serious condition.

• Have a waiting period that is more than 90 days.• Discriminate against those who want to participate in clinical trials for serious conditions.If you have a new policy:• You'll be able to keep children on your policy until they reach the age of 26 if they don't have their own coverage at work.• You must receive preventive services, like immunizations and screenings, without any cost to you.• You'll be able to choose your own doctor for primary care or a pediatrician as long as they're in the provider's network.• In the event of an emergency, you'll be able to go to the closest emergency room, even if it's not in the plan's

network.The government has provided a website with all information in one place: www.healthcare.gov. Available plans are listed by state. Some of the companies, however, have chosen not to provide the correct links to plan benefits information or policy pricing. One stated that pricing wouldn't be available until 2011. Still, the links to telephone numbers are handy.If you live in a state that's been notorious for allowing insurance companies to raise rates, there's something in this Act for you, too. It will give grants totaling $250 million over five years to help states hold insurance companies accountable for rate increases. If you want to wade through the whole Act document, go online and search for H.R. 3590 at thomas.loc.gov.

The Civilian Conservation Corps

It was one of the most popular components of FDR’s New Deal, and the legacy of the Civilian Conservation Corps can still be seen all across America in parks, roads and buildings.

• Few people today know about the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC), but during the Great Depression, it helped a lot of people earn money to support their families. It was a public work relief program for unemployed men, providing vocational training through the performance of work related to conservation and development of natural resources in the United States from 1933 to 1942.

• As part of the New Deal legislation proposed by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (FDR), the CCC was designed to aid relief of the unemployment resulting from the Great Depression while implementing a general natural resource conservation program on federal, state, county and municipal lands in every U.S. state.

• Could this happen today? The legislation that created the CCC passed through Congress very quickly. Ten days after being introduced, the ECW Act was signed on March 31, 1933; on April 5, the War Department corps area commanders were tasked with beginning enrollment.

• The first CCC enrollee was chosen on April 7, 1933, and subsequent lists of unemployed men were supplied by state and local welfare and relief agencies for immediate enrollment.

• CCC camps were located in the general area of particular conservation work to be performed and organized around a group of up to 200 civilian enrollees in a designated numbered “company” unit

THE CCC (continued):

• The camps were structured to have barracks, officers/technical staff quarters, a medical dispensary, a mess hall, a recreation hall, an educational building, lavatory and showers, technical/administrative offices, a tool room/blacksmith shop and motor pool garages. The enrollees were organized into work units called “sections” of 25 men each, according to the barracks they lived in.

• Enthusiasm for the program reigned supreme. By January 1934, the second year of the CCC program, 300,000 men were enrolled. In July 1934, this cap was increased by 50,000 to include men from drought-affected states of the mid-west. The temporary camps had also transitioned from tents to wooden barracks. An education program was established emphasizing job training.

• On June 28, 1937, the CCC was legally established, transferred from its original designation as the Emergency Conservation Work program. Funding was also extended for three more years, effective July 1, 1937. To be eligible, enrollees had to be U.S. citizens, 18 to 26 years old and could not be regularly attending school or possessing full-time employment. The rules were eventually relaxed some to include veterans of World War II.

• Although the CCC was probably the most popular New Deal program, it never became a permanent agency. The program was reduced in operations as the Depression waned, and employment opportunities improved.

• The CCC died quietly. After the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, all federal programs were revised to emphasize the war effort. Most CCC work, except for wild land firefighting, was shifted onto U.S. military bases to help with construction.

• Funding for the CCC ended in June 1942, formally ceasing active operation of the program.
