Elisabeth and I can proudly announce that this year’s first pre-BAM event planning meeting HE was a success. HE Dona Leah, our Event Steward, was ram-rodding the meeting, she had folks coming out of the woodwork to volunteer as coordinators for the event..VIVAT!!!! There are a few loose ends that need to be tied up, but everyone is working together to make this year’s BAM a great successful and fun event. Let us not forget to sign up for a Gate Shift! HE Elisabeth has informed TRM’s Gleann Abhann that we will be cooking two of their own goats for them at BAM. The goats will be roasted on the Legendary Bordermarch Cabrito Spit, and will be served sometime Saturday evening. A few of us gathered at HE Therese’s pottery studio and began constructing pinch bowls for BAM. I thought we were going to need about four thousand pinch bowls, but was informed that only about a hundred or so will be needed. Everyone is encouraged to come on out to the studio on Monday evening to help out with the pinch bowl project. If we can get one hundred folks out there making pinch bowls then we should be finished up quite quickly. Round table this month was well attended by the Bordermarch populace. (See pictures on page 9.) M’Lady Valarie, M’Lord William, Lord Thomas, and Lady Jillian were overly excited about being able to attend their very first Round Table! Lord Thomas and M’Lady Valarie participated in the treasury classes and are now very smart. Lady Jillian attended the Seneschal class and is now warrantable, M’Lord William does not remember what classes he took, but he does remember signing something to become warrantable; he just can’t recall what he signed. We visited with many good friends at Round Table that we hadn’t seen in awhile and caught up on the going’s on in our Kingdom. As always, we are seeking individuals who have an interest in Event Stewarding our events. Next year’s Bordermarch 12th Night and Baronial both need Event Stewards, now is the time to put in your bid for these events. A renewed interest in siege warfare is taking hold in Bordermarch and we are very excited to see it happening, I get chills just thinking about it! M’lord William has secured some Freon cans which he has donated to the Blacksmith group for repurposing into gas forges. We will set a time for the forge construction classes. The classes will be open to anyone who likes to work hot metal. With God's Grace and In Service to the Kingdom of Ansteorra and to you, Our Populace, we remain, Santiago de Monte Verde & Elisabeth de Montvert Baron and Baroness of Barony Bordermarch Page 4 August HappySUNDAY MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY THURSDAY FRIDAY SATURDAY 1 2 3 4 M’Lord Elijah Evening Fighter Morgan’s PENNSIC XLI Afternoon Fighter Out of Kingdom (27th-12th) Practice & Social at Practice & Social Birthday (Land Agent Rogers Park in Bmt.** at Rogers Park in Bmt.** Mistress Seraphina) Lord Adolf ALL GUILDS 5 the Bear’s 6 7 8 9 10 11 Birthday MEET!!! ** Evening Fighter BAM Event Meeting too!

  • Copyright Law and Quilted Art, 9 J. Marshall Rev. Intell. Prop. L
    THE JOHN MARSHALL REVIEW OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LAW PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS ABSTRACT Historically, quilts have been denied the same copyright protection available to any other expression in a fixed medium. When quilts have been considered protectable, the protectable elements in a pattern have been limited, or the application of the substantial similarity test has varied widely. One possible explanation for this unequal treatment is that quilting is viewed as 'women's work.' Another is that quilts are primarily functional. However, quilts have evolved over time and may now be expensive collectible pieces of art; art that deserves copyright protection. This article traces the history of quilt making, addresses the varying standards of protection afforded to quilts and concludes that consistent and comprehensive protection is needed for this art form. Copyright © 2010 The John Marshall Law School Cite as Maureen B. Collins, Patchwork Protection: Copyright Law and QuiltedArt, 9 J. MARSHALL REV. INTELL. PROP. L. 855 (2010). PATCHWORK PROTECTION: COPYRIGHT LAW AND QUILTED ART MAUREEN B. COLLINS * INTRODUCTION When is a quilt a blanket and when is it art? This question takes on greater importance as the universe of quilted art expands and changes. Once relegated to attics and church craft bazaars, the quilt has come out of the closet. Today, quilts are found in museums 2 and corporate headquarters. 3 They are considered to be among the most collectible "new" forms of art. 4 Quilting is a multi-million dollar industry. 5 Handmade quilts fetch asking prices in the tens of thousands of dollars.

  • Historia Patchworku Patchwork I Pikowanie (Quilting)
    Historia patchworku Patchwork i pikowanie (quilting) były praktykowane od wieków, zarówno jako rzemiosło praktyczne, jak i dekoracyjne. Ich popularność utrzymywała się w zależności od zmian w społeczeństwie, a style rozwijały się w zależności od dostępnych zasobów i statusu społecznego twórcy. Dzięki swej bogatej i ciekawej historii, wiek XXI zaowocował rozkwitem tej formy rzemiosła, które stało się popularne i powszechnie praktykowane, bazując na tradycyjnych umiejętnościach i pozwalając na eksperymentowanie ze współczesnymi technikami artystycznymi. Dowody na istnienie patchworku widać na przestrzeni stuleci – istnienie większego kawałka tkaniny, składającego się z małych kawałków, połączonych w całość pikowaniem jest udokumentowne w historii. Najwcześniejsze ślady zostały zlokalizowane w egipskich grobowcach, a także we wczesnych Chinach około 5000 lat temu. Kolejne znaleziska zostały datowane już we wczesnym średniowieczu, gdzie warstwy pikowanej tkaniny zostały wykorzystane w konstrukcji zbroi - gdzie utrzymuje ciepło i chroni żołnierza. Podobna konstrukcję miały pancerze japońskie. Stosując tę technikę, patchworki zaczęły pojawiać się w gospodarstwach domowych od XI do XII wieku. Ponieważ europejski klimat mocno się ochłodził w tym czasie, potrzeba używania ciepłych nakryć wzrosła i tak rozwinęla się praktyka upiększania prostej tkaniny poprzez stworzenie wzoru i projektu dekoracyjnego pikowania. Najstarszy istniejący użytkowy quilt to pikowany dywan, znaleziony w mongolskiej jaskini. Jest przechowywany w Sankt Petersburgu, powstał prawdopodobnie w XI wieku. Tristana i Izoldy. Tristan Quilt powstał na Sycylii ok. 1360 roku. Składa się z dwóch gładkich warstw lnu i wypełnienia. Pikowanie jasnymi i brązowymi nićmi utworzyło obrazy, dodatkowo uwypuklone przez wprowadzenie pomiędzy warstwy bawełnianych włókien (technika trapunto). Jedna z części tego quiltu jest przechowywana w Victoria and Albert Museum w Londynie. Niewiele jednak wiadomo o patchworku i quiltingu przed wiekiem XVIII, i mało jest przykładów, które przetrwały do naszych czasów.

  • Soft Glass – the Aesthetic Qualities of Kiln Formed Glass with Recycled Inclusions
    SOFT GLASS – THE AESTHETIC QUALITIES OF KILN FORMED GLASS WITH RECYCLED INCLUSIONS SELINA-JAYNE TOPHAM A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the Birmingham City University for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy August 2012 The Faculty of Art and Design, Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, Birmingham City University Abstract My research is about combining recycled materials with glass structures to produce textile artworks that have unique aesthetic qualities and a considerable lifespan. This thesis examines the technical development of kiln-formed glass voided structures, the aesthetic qualities of colour and softness and the effect of the research experience on my practice. The practical element of the research consisted of 18 experiments inspired by visits to the Seychelles and Barbados. The technical development was informed by concepts of being and non-being and by glass-making processes dating back to 1650 BC in Northern Mesopotamia, as well as fabric manipulation techniques thought to have originated in the fourteenth century in Sicily. Some 37 technical principles were discovered together with documented firing schedules that could be generalised to kiln-formed glass making. In terms of artwork aesthetics a methodology was developed that identified 32 qualities informed by colour theories. To eliminate errors in terminology the origins of each of these colour theories were identified and described using examples of artworks from living artists. The main aesthetic qualities identified were light/dark contrast, colour direction in terms of composition and optical colour mixing, with the latter being traced back to theory associated with early Christian glass mosaics. I also discovered how my roles of artist maker and researcher led to insights that contextualised my practice the most profound of which resulted from revisiting an experimental failure, which led to the identification of a new aesthetic quality of softness based on visual perception rather than tactile response.

  • History of Quilting
    History of Quilting When the first settlers came to this country they brought with them their quilting skills. New fabric was hard to come by, so fabric for clothing and for quilts had to be used and reused saving as much as possible from worn clothing. Thus the patchwork quilt was born. Scraps of fabric were cut into geometric patterns that fit together into larger blocks of design. Many of these patterns have been passed through generations, created by the ingenuity of our ancestors and traded within communities. Names for particular patterns sometimes changed as they moved from one part of the country to another, reflecting the environment within which it was named. (i.e. a pattern called the pine tree pattern in Connecticut might be named bear’s path in Ohio). Quilt making is an art form that both individuals, as well as groups of people participated in. From the lore surrounding quilt making we learn that parents passed the skills for quilt making on to their children at a very young age. The children would start with small patches of fabric, and learn to sew the very fine stitches needed for beautiful and elaborate quilts. Historically, quilting has generally been practiced by, and associated with women. This could be because the sewing skills needed to make a quilt have always been an integral part of women’s lives. Learning how to sew was such an important skill for girls to have that it was taught and practiced in the home and at school. Women of all classes participated in this form of expression.

Getting Started. Padded wear could be put on under armour to make it more comfortable, or even as a top layer for those who couldn't afford metal armour. For a time, the trend in wholecloth quilting was a preference for all-cotton white quilts. Obviously, quilting as a craft came to America with the early Puritans. Can I get hurt using a quilting machine? Playing on the word crazy they gave plans for "crazy" tea parties using mismatched invitations and other "crazy" themes. Wrap Up. This meant women no longer had to spend time spinning and weaving to provide fabric for their family's needs. In the lateth-century quilt revival, teachers like Elly Sienkiewicz repopularized the Baltimore Album style. Quilting in Modern Times Quilting has experienced a revival over the last 60 years. The wool wholecloth quilt was made in by Martha Crafts Howard. One of the most popular exhibits was the Japanese pavilion with its fascinating crazed ceramics and asymmetrical art. The story of a family was also commemorated in hand-pieced fabric. Essentially, a knee lifter is an attachable part that lets you control the position of a presser foot with your knee. Often these quilts provide the only decoration in a simply furnished home and they also were commonly used for company or to show wealth.
