Kris,

I would also like a pin. The log cabin is one of my favorite blocks and the

pattern of my first "real" quilt.

To all interested in WCTD and trading:

>> Here are details about the "Worldwide Charm Traders' Directory"

>> WCTD is a quarterly publication of quilters worldwide who want to

trade with other quilters. We are listed alphabetically (by last name) and

have 4 sections in WCTD Charms, Blocks, Pen Pals and Potpourri (this is for

everything other than other categories). There is also a new section called

"On-Line Connections" it lists only EMAIL address with quilters names (this

section I will put names in free as space permits).

>>>>>Some subscribe for a year at a time, others just get single issues.

Many get a single issue to see what it is about and what others list saying

(this is a great way to look before deciding) and then they join in

subscribing for next 4 issues. Single issue in USA = $7, Canada & Mexico =

$7.50, Overseas $8.75. Subscription in USA/Canada & Mexico = $26, Overseas =$33.

>>>>>It's totally up to the individual quilter what HE/she says under name

for listing I don't limit that. Some say charms 6" any color up to 10 per

trade. Others have a paragraph or two, I do the WCTD not with restrictions

but as a helpful guide to all those wanting different "Quilty" things from

around the world.

>>>>>There are a few advertisers and rates are very reasonable in comparison

to magazines. Some advertisers are not quilters. Advertising helps promote

the business and also with my postage expenses (which are continually climbing).

>>>>>There are a variety of other things in each issue also, contests,

drawings, patterns, methods of doing specific projects; Tips on how to do

differnet things; block challenges; hidden deedle, other swaps by quilters;

a feature recipe; occassionally a quilt crossword puzzle; poem written by a

member quilter ect.

>>>>>It really is fun meeting those we'd never be able to any other way and

there are many wonderful friends available right in our mailboxes at home.

From: Diane McGuire <dianemcgici.net>

To all who make small wall hangings:

I discovered that if I make the top binding a separate piece of fabric added after the other three

sides are finished, I can use the binding as a mini-sleeve. 18" wall hangings can easily be

supported by a slim dowel (Sorry, Jane) run through the top binding this way and it is practically

invisible. I hang one on the window of my door with the backing facing out. It shows the quilting

and the pieced part is facing away from the light. Great for showing off an orphan antique square

and still not have it fade too much.

Went to a yard sale thisweek and found a beautiful Singer 99-13 (circa1925) in a bentwood case

that hums along after several oilings. Somehow sewing old fabrics or repros on old machines

seems fitting. Since I bought three times the 30ties repro fabric that I needed for my last quilt

inorder to get the scrapy look, maybe this machine will inspire the second and third in the series of

quilts.

For all you chicken fans, check out the March/April '96 Quiltmaker for "Chick-tac-toe" and Tender

Loving Covers" by Toni Phillips and Juanita Simonich. I know I have more chicken patterns and will

post them as I find them.

I, too, like the idea of the log cabin design with the black center for a QHL

pin. Count me in, Kris! I had missed a lot of the information about the

significance regarding the black center, but I caught a little bit of

information regarding the underground railroad which brought my attention to

a book that I received many years ago from a woman in Niles, MI. She had

written a lovely book on Michigan underground railroad, and my interest in

this has now been rekindled. If any of you have some of the articles

regarding these pieces of information that were shared while I was off line,

I would really appreciate receiving copies of the articles. Thanks so much!

You are sharing some very valuable and interesting information.

Shirley,

OTOH, black-centered log cabin quilts DO exist. To people who don't

know the story at all, red OR black centers would be equally logical. <G>

AND if someone asks about it, or if we're telling about it, we can make sure

the legend's explained.

If we say something like, 'It's a reproduction of an antique quilt from

XXXX collection. Our group chose it because we study quilt history, and we

try to track down stories and find out if they're history or myths. For

example, there's an interesting story about this quilt....' etc.... then we

get a great chance to tell about how much of history is really legend.

I'd just like to "second" Jocelyn's comments about seeing the QHL pins as

an opportunity to explain this alleged myth to those who may think of it as

gospel.

Also, Kris, please add me to your "pin list." Thanks!

I would also like a pin and would like to be able to order several.

Although nothing is official, I have had verbal good news about a new book.

The story does refer to the "myth" of the black centers so having a pin to

present to my editor would be incredible. Once the final revisions are in

and I get an "official" offer, I'll share more details. It will probably

include a note indicating that this hasn't been proven or documented fully.

Dear Linda:

I'm reading my mail after a week's vacation, but I had to reply to the

One of my lasting memories is of October 15, 1963, when I left my first

husband. I flew from Springfield to O'Hare on Ozark Airlines and as we

were coming in to O'Hare, we flew close over a dark brown field scattered

with orange pumpkins. It's something that I will probably never forget.

Well, I guess the vote is overwhelming! I called a company today and they

are sending me information on a pin. They would like me to send a pattern -

how about a log cabin block with a black center and solid color logs -

maroon, slate blue, double pink, chocolate brown - and the letters QHL

underneath? Or QHL on the side? This would make it a slightly oblong pin.

I could ask for a square pin with QHL overlaid, or we could ditch the

letters altogether. I am open for suggestions, both for the color of the

logs and the letters.

Please E-mail me privately so we don't overwhelm the list.

Thanks!

Dear Quilters,

I am wondering how the populous feels about making a few loving

restoration stitches in an old quilt and perhaps replacing a few missing

applique pieces, trying to duplicate the original. Are you with the

belief that this would destroy its integrity? Or, are you with the

belief, what can it hurt to improve the condition?

To: Linda K Kotarba <cpk3juno.com>

Linda: Before I say too much, I must warn you that there are many

professional restoration specialicists on this list. IMHO, I think that

we are all in agreement that "repairs and restoration" done properly,

with appropriate materials and techniques enhances not only the

longivity of the piece, but in many cases can also enhance the value of

the quilt. This is not to say that it will add big bucks to the quilt,

but it *if done properly and with "of like and kind"* surely doesn't

hurt. I, for one, am very careful to practice the "of like and kind"

expressly for the purpose of protecting the integrity of the piece. In

the restoration class that I just taught on Sat. past, I had a student

that brought a postage stamp quilt C.1900 that was "full of cavities" as

she told me on the phone. Making fillings out of vintage or

reproductions will not only protect the batting that is threatning to

fall out, but will increase the life expectancy of the quilt.

Hope this helps. Are you getting ready to start a restoration project?

Let us know.

Hello to everyone!

I have a few questions I was in hopes someone could help me with.

1. I have a developed a great interest in Amish quilts, and heard somewhere

that the Amish do not use yellow or white in their quilts. Since I have seen

some in magazines that have these colors in them, I wonder if this is a

false statement or, are the quilts I've seen in magazines not true Amish

quilts? Can anyone answer this, and give any other information about Amish

quilting that might be interesting?

2. I am also interested in learning more about the quilts of other

countries, especially Australia (the type of designs and fabrics they use).

Does anyone know of any websites where quilts of Australia can be seen?

3. Also, are Hawaiian quilts only done in applique' or do they have pieced

patterns as well?

Thanks to all for your time. I do hope someone out there can shed some light

on these questions for me.

Sincerely,

Lee :^)

Yes, there is a 2-page shorten version of "Patchwork of Internment" ( the

account of 3 quilts made by women interred in Changi prison in Singapore

during WWII). It is by Bernice Archer who also wrote the one in History

Today & is part of her PhD thesis. Her address is Thorn Barton, College

Road, Landsdown, Bath, BA1 5RU, England. I don't know her but her address

was included with the article. This article is Quilters' Review

incorporated in The Quilter (of The Quilters Guild in the UK) # 67 Summer

1996.

Now for those of you who could not get the History Today issue I can

provide a photocopy of this one (2 Pages). I am visiting my Dad in NJ from

Sept. 10 -30. If you send me a stamped addressed envelope there, I will

photocopy the 2-page one & send it back to you. His address is Audrey

Cameron c/o Deane, 2 Kentucky Way, Whiting, NJ 08759

I have seen the British quilt (the 2 others are in Australia) & in fact

have a small poster of it on my studio wall which I got from the British

Red Cross. It is a very moving story.

From: "Audrey Cameron" <audrey.cameronvirgin.net>

Hi (here I am again)

Since there seems to be a minor thread going on women & political banners I

thought a WORD about England was in order. There has been a long tradition

of using textiles to give a political message. The textile banner is

fairly recent with slogans incorporated on banners carried by the Chartists

in the 1830's & continued in use later as the Trade Movement developed &

British suffragettes made them as well during the beginning of the 20th

century. The use of very beautifully made banners was a concerted effort on

their part to identify the gender of the campaigners. Many of these banners

are now in British museums.

In more recent times women were the prime movers in the protests against

American airbases (protesting planes which were alleged to carry nuclear

weapons) in English particularly Greenham Common & advertised their stand

with banners.

An article in Quilters' Review (incorporated in The Quilter ( #65 Winter

1995) tells of

the work of Thalia Cambell, a British textile artist whose work is

primarily in the making of banners of protest. An illustrated exhibition

catalogue "100 Years of Womens Banners" is availabe from her Thalia

Campbell, Glangors, Ynyslas, Borth, Dyed, UK, SY24 SJU

Last year our area (The Quilters' Guild, a national organization divided

into many regions for more intimate quilting activities & days,) held an

exhibition at the Royal Armouries in Leeds called "Blazing Banners".

Quilters made banners based on armour designs, battle flags, heraldic

motifs, etc. At this exhibition we had some borrowed quilts including

several of these political patchwork banners.

Lee asks about the use of yellow and white by Amish quiltmakers. The most

important thing to remember about quilts (IMHO) is that there are exceptions

to every rule and that all generalizations are false including this one.

With that caveat, I offer a few "flawed" generalizations.

The Amish of Lancaster Co., PA traditionally used only those colors which

were acceptable for their clothing. This did not include white and yellow.

If you look at the color wheel, the Lancaster Co. Amish would be most likely

to use the half of the wheel from blue green to red. The Ohio and Indiana

Amish were allowed much more freedom in use of color. Many of their quilts

included yellow and some used white. The quilts made by the Amish today

differ very little from quilts made by anybody else.

I grabbed a few books off the shelf to give you some suggestions for

learning more:

The World of Amish Quilts by Racheal and Kenneth Pellman, ISBN:0-934672-22-9

Sunshine & Shadow by Phyllis Haders, ISBN: 0-915509-43-3

Quilts from the Indiana Amish by David Pottinger, ISBN: 0-525-48043-9

A Gallery of Amish Quilts by Bishop and Safanda, ISBN:0-525-47444-7

A Quiet Spirit by Kraybill, Herr and Holstein, ISBN:0-930741-53-6

A Treasury of Amish Quilts by Pellman and Pellman. ISBN:1-56148-000-2

The Amish Quilt by Eve Wheatcroft Granick, ISBN:0-934672-74-1

This list is in no particular order. Some of the books are mostly

pictures (we just have to keep looking at quilts and we begin to form mental

file drawers). Granick and the essays in A Quiet Spirit are wonderfully

informative about Amish life and customs.

BOOK REVIEW: Instant Expert by Anne Gilbert

Size- 4 inches wide by 8 3/8 inches long 116 pages, definately will fit

in your purse or a large pocket. Price - $14 US/$19 Canada

This quote from the Introduction says it all:

"Though seasoned collectors and quilt makers have "read it all before"

in the many books written on the subject, a new generation has not. This

book is an attempt to help their interest grow by simplifying quilt

collecting. After all, in the beginning there was nothing complicated

about the concept of quilts and quilt making, despite the present-day

attempts to give it snob-appeal."

(Which one of you "seasoned quilter" told her you couldn't "learn it all

from one book"?)

Misinformation abounds, the infamous "only God could create perfection"

is a direct quote from collector Amy Goodhart, who supplied quilts from

her collecton for illustrations in the book.

The "Instant Expert Quiz" of 20 questions and answers is well.....:)

Q: #8. Why are some quilts referred to as "Log Cabins"?

A: Their blocks resemble log cabin logs.

Q: #20 What is the difference between "pieced" and "patchwork"?

A: Patchwork is the putting together of many pieces of fabric, cut in

patches, blocks or other designs. Piecing is the end result when they

are stitched to form a total patten, and a finished quilt.

(No, I didn't type it wrong)

Slightly used book for sale, good passages hi-lighted, a must read (to

believe).

Return-Path: <QHL-requestcuenet.com>

I am overwhelmed with the responses from the list! And, frankly, thrilled.

Several people suggested places to have the pin made, and I am looking into

it. Yes, I am planning on a light and dark set using traditional civil war

colors like double pink, mahogony, slate blue - with a black center, of

course. Most of the votes have been for some sort of letter, either

overlaid or on the side. Merry May suggested that the final row on each

side be "Quilters" "Heritage" "List" and "On-line", which I think is a

really clever idea. Does anyone have the pin from Mr. B's Preview Pack

Club? I think it might come out like that. Any other suggestions? Please

send them to me at "oldquiltalbany.net."

Two more privately published books have come in that I think y'all might be

interested in. One is "Lest I Shall be Forgotten; Anecdotes and traditions

of Quilts" about the quilters in the Goschenhoppen area of Pennsyvlania.

Besides the usual pictures of and stories about antique quilts, this book

includes information on construction techniques, redwork, petticoats, etc.

It is seriously underpriced at $12.50 ($10 for QHL members.)

Another one, which is actually still in pre-release, is Craig Ambrose's " A

Picture Book and Price Guide to Antique American Quilts." Craig is on the

board of advisors for the Quilt Restoration Society and has published in a

number of venues, most recently in last months issue of Quilt World. His

book is written for the beginner with the most commonly asked questions,

pattern names, descriptions and general price ranges. It has over 300

pictures in 205 pages, which is set in large type for those of us too vain

to wear bi-focals. <G> What I find the most interesting (and what is

actually causing the publication delay) are the 3D pictures of quilts. I

have never seen this technique in a book before, and I hope he can include

it in the finished product. He has tentatively priced it at $24.95, and I
