T- PROCEEDINGS OF THE SECOND ANNUAL TEXTILE CONFERENCE Held at the Bureau of Standards, Washington, iMay 21-22, 1917 FIRST SESSION OPENING ADDRESS S. W. Stratton 1 We have invited you here for several purposes. Most importanc of all is the need of your assistance in the development of the scientific work of the textile section of the Bureau of .Standards. The textile industry is one of the oldest and best estab- lished in the countr}-, but it is not any further ahead in the applications of science than any of the other industries. We in this country- are coming to realize the great importance of the applications of science in all kinds of industry'. The user of a material is interested in its adapt- ability and serviceability when applied to his special requireme.its. The manufac- turer has, in addition, to concern himself with problems arising in producing his material. Th; laboraLorv determines what are the essential features of the material that make it good or bad. Whea these features become ev-ideat the manufacturer can be improved, and the product may be used more efficiently and more economically. The Bureau of Standards is an institution equipped for scientific work of this kind. At the prese it time the.-e is great need of developing textile materials for specific purposes. An example of this wis called to our attention only a few days ago. As you know, this country has been using silk for powder bags. The sudden increase in the use of these containers threatens to cause a shortage, and it becomes necessary to find a substitute for the silk. The possibility of the use of ramie and other fibers to supersede linen in the construction of aeroplane fabrics and cords is also being given our coasi deration. There are many other problems of this kind coming up, and you can be of the greatest assistance i i solving all of them, ilany manufacturers have already offered their facilities to assist in the making of experiments lO solve some of these problems.

  • The Cloud Washerwoman the Cloud Washerwoman
    The Cloud Washerwoman The Cloud Washerwoman In this fantasy, an energetic old woman complains that it always rains on wash day. At first, she thinks the answer is to fix the weather. However, her granddaughter has a better idea. Will it work? 8.8 9.2 Other Fantasy titles in Springboard 4: Sammy Stevens Sings Finbar and the Long Trek Springboard Written by Ben Smith 4 Illustrated by Sandra Cammell TheCloudWasherwoman_COV_MEA_SI.i2-3 2-3 15/3/06 4:36:20 PM For inspection teachers' The Cloud Washerwoman ONLY Contents Chapter One. 4 Chapter Two . 12 Chapter Three . 18 Chapter Four . 22 For inspection teachers' ONLY Chapter One Monday is washday 4 For inspection teachers' Once upon a time there was a wrinkly old woman. She was so old and wrinkly most people thought she must be at least 101. Even though she was old and wrinkly, sheONLY was a healthy woman. She ran two marathons a year. She swam in the ocean every day – summer and winter, rain, hail, or shine. She went skiing on the highest mountains, and she rode a fast motorbike with handlebars like antlers. The old woman lived in the home she had always lived in. She did her own gardening. She did her own housework. She baked her own bread. And every Monday morning, come rain, hail, or shine, she stoked up the fire under her big shiny copper tub. When the water was heated, she did the week’s laundry. 5 For inspection teachers' Now the old woman had always fancied herself as a folk singer.

  • Decorative Bunting an Easy Sustainable Art Project by Marty Ornish , FB: Marty-O
    July Project - Decorative Bunting An easy sustainable art project by Marty Ornish www.Marty-O.com , FB: Marty-O Bunting is any festive decorations made of fabric. Typical forms of bunting are strings of colorful triangular flags. Here is a quick textile project to decorate your patio, balcony, or dining room using what you may have on hand. Bunting can come in any size, shape, or color and was traditionally found on ships. Remember to post your Decorative Bunting on Facebook and Instagram using the tags #stircrazyvam and #vambunting. SUGGESTED MATERIALS • Fabric - vintage hankies, cutter quilts, old lace tablecloths, clothing, men’s shirting, doilies, even small baby clothes can be cute depending on your decoration theme. • Spray starch, iron or hot glue gun, pins or small clamps, wide bias binding or twill tape, cardboard, ruler, scissors INSTRUCTIONS 1. Spray starch and iron your fabric. 2. Cut a triangular pattern on cardstock or cardboard. I made a 6” X 9” X 9“ triangular “flags” but they can be larger. 3. Trace the pattern onto your fabric of choice and cut out 10 or more triangles. 4. Sew a zigzag stitch or serge around the two longest sides of the fabric for a finished look. The edges of the triangles can also be left raw. 5. Pin each triangle at regular intervals along twill tape or on the inside edge of opened-up bias binding. 6. Stitch the short edge of the triangle to the twill tape or on the opened fold line of the bias binding. An alternative to sewing is to use a hot glue gun to glue the short side of the triangle to the twill tape.

Stunning shell sand beaches fringed with machair, vast expanses of moorland, rugged hills, dramatic cliffs and surrounding seas all contain a rich biodiversity of flora, fauna and marine life. Together with a thriving Gaelic culture, this provides an inspiring island environment to live, study and work in, and a culturally rich place to explore as a visitor. The islands are privileged to be home to several award-winning contemporary Art Centres and Festivals, plus a creative trail of many smaller artist/maker run spaces. This publication aims to guide you to the galleries, shops and websites, where Art and Craft made in the Outer Hebrides can be enjoyed. En-route there are numerous sculptures, landmarks, historical and archaeological sites to visit. The guide documents some (but by no means all) of these contemplative places, which interact with the surrounding landscape, interpreting elements of island history and relationships with the natural environment. The Comhairle’s Heritage and Library Services are comprehensively detailed. Museum nan Eilean at Lews Castle in Stornoway, by special loan from the British Museum, is home to several of the Lewis Chessmen, one of the most significant archaeological finds in the UK. Throughout the islands a network of local historical societies, run by dedicated volunteers, hold a treasure trove of information, including photographs, oral histories, genealogies, croft histories and artefacts specific to their locality.

  • PURPOSE of REPORT to Consider a Revenue Funding Bid by an Lanntair Ltd
    SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT COMMITTEE 21 FEBRUARY 2018 AN LANNTAIR REVENUE FUNDING 2018/19 Report by Director of Development PURPOSE OF REPORT To consider a revenue funding bid by An Lanntair Ltd. for 2018/19. COMPETENCE 1.1 There are no legal, financial, equalities or other constraints to the recommendations being implemented. Provision exists within the Development Department Arts Revenue Budget. SUMMARY 2.1 An Lanntair Arts Centre (An Lanntair) is a nationally acclaimed and internationally renowned cultural hub. Comhairle support enables An Lanntair to deliver a year round programme of high quality visual art exhibitions, performing arts events, cinema screenings and educational activities which provide significant economic and social benefits for the Outer Hebrides. 2.2 Creative Scotland has acknowledged An Lanntair’s achievements and status by awarding the organisation £1,210,000 in three year Regular Funding for the period to 2018-2021. This releases an average of £403,333 per annum, with no increase on their 3 year Regular Funding Award for the period 2015/18. The bidding process for three year Regular Funding by organisations throughout Scotland was extremely competitive. A target figure of £69, 350 per annum in partnership funding from the Comhairle was an important factor in the leverage of this significant sum from Creative Scotland. 2.3 An Lanntair Ltd. and its trading subsidiary An Lanntair Trading currently employs 49 individuals across the organisation from programmers and curators to hospitality and catering staff. In addition to PAYE staff An Lanntair annually generates work for approximately 32 freelance artists based in the Outer Hebrides via the Education, Exhibitions and Performing Arts Programme.

  • LAUNDRY I. Goal II. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
    LAUNDRY I. Goal To introduce ELP participants and the public to the task of laundering clothing and fabric items during the 1840s in the absence of modern equipment and electricity. II. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW Washing day required strength and stamina. Of all the household chores that depended on hauling water and building fires to heat it, laundry earned the most complaints from women. Every item, once it became wet, had to be wrung out by hand. Lifting heavy, wet clothes was very difficult work and made backs, muscles and wrists ache. Nearly every writer of household advice advocated that laundry should not be a one-woman job. Catharine Beecher called it "the American housekeeper's hardest problem." (Never Done pp. 104-5). "Without running water, gas or electricity, even the most simplified hand-laundry process consumed staggering amounts of time and labor. One wash, one boiling, and one rinse used about fifty gallons of water or four hundred pounds, which had to be moved from pump or well or faucet to stove and tub, in buckets and wash boilers that might weigh as much as forty or fifty pounds." (Never Done p. 105). Of course, this above scenario, with its references to faucets and stove, does not address the even further rigors of doing laundry on the trail. The following quote, from Women's Diaries of the Westward Journey, gives a glimpse into the reality of life and laundry in route. "When we started from Iowa I wore a dark woolen dress which served me almost constantly during the whole trip.
