The Neatest Little Paper Ever Read®

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.

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 as1800, but it is more likely they began to occur

Have you ever consulted a nutritionist about your diet? It might not be a bad idea.I recently had an appointment with a nutritionist, and boy, did I learn a lot. As we age, many of us experience changes in smell and taste, tend to eat to kill hunger rather than for health and lose interest in food in general.Many of us don’t get enough protein because we’re stuck with the belief that it requires a big portion of meat. Not so. One of the most potent protein sources is a combination of beans and rice. And then there’s the matter of food density. As we age, our appetites and capacity aren’t what they used to be. If we fill up on food that has less nutritional value, we’re robbing our bodies of what we need for health. Portion sizes can be confusing. They’re smaller than you’d think. In many cases, a half-cup constitutes a portion. If weight control is a problem, overestimating the size of a portion

can add to the difficulty of controlling those pounds.Fruit is our friend, although many of us get away from it as we age. And it apparently doesn’t matter how we get the fruit — fresh, frozen, dried, canned or pureed like applesauce — because the nutrients are still present.Variety in foods, said the nutritionist, is one of the best ways of staying healthy.A consultation with a nutritionist might be ones of the best things you can do for your health. He or she will be able to assess your age, activity level, diet limitations and weight and come up with a food plan to keep you in top shape.

Thought of the Week“Onlyenemiesspeakthetruth;friendsandloverslieendlessly,

caughtinthewebofduty.”— Stephen King

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I have three rescued dogs that each dig a small hole, usually with their teeth, and proceed to eat the dirt. I feed them quality food, so I don’t know what they’re after. Is this typical behavior or are they lacking a mineral that the dirt is providing? I’m also not real happy about the holes in the lawn. I’ll bet I am not the only one with this issue. — Jeannette V., Billings Mont.DEAR JEANNETTE: You’re right, this behavior is actually fairly common and a source of distress for a lot of dog owners. Termed “pica” — defined by the Angell Memorial Hospital’s Book of Wellness and Preventive Care for Dogs as “an abnormal desire to eat things that are indigestible” — this behavior includes eating dirt and rocks. Some dogs will eat sticks, socks or whatever is handy.A common form of pica is coprophagia, a fancy term for “eating poop,” which many dog owners also deal with.Pica is a symptom of obsessive-compulsive disorder, although a nutritional deficiency also can be a cause. So the first thing to do is consult the dogs’ veterinarian.

The vet may ask you to bring in samples of the dogs’ stool to check for worms or other problems. (Separate each dog’s sample in plastic baggies labeled with their names.) Even if the vet doesn’t find a physical cause, he or she may recommend you add a vitamin supplement to their diets.You’ll also need to address the obsessive-compulsive component. This means going outside with the dogs (or taking them out one by one for awhile). When they start digging or chewing at the ground, distract them immediately and call them over for a short spell of basic obedience training, rewarding them with either treats or praise depending on your training style. You also must fill in and re-sod the small holes in the lawn.

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.

GOES GREEN!

QUILTS (continued):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.

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

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.

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 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.

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

The Bottom Line Is Getting HigherKANSAS CITY, Kan. — John Prine once sang, “Your flag decal won’t get you into heaven anymore.”

Not that it ever would, by the way. But it’s nice to wave a flag, show your pride in your country, sing the national anthem at sporting events and participate in the process that determines the future of America.Not even Prine would suggest that your flag decal will prevent you from getting into heaven.Many NASCAR drivers are nice guys, which is particularly appreciated by those of us who write about stock-car racing for a living. But liking someone and thinking he (or she) is a fine driver are separate issues. Being a nice guy might even give a driver a shot at making it in NASCAR, but it won’t keep him there.It also helps to make good commercials.NASCAR fans are a sentimental lot, and they often get upset when a nice driver gets fired. Results are what define staying power, however.For every Jimmie Johnson who worked his way up through the ranks, building career momentum and developing into a champion, there are at least five who become relegated to the dust bin of history, leaving us occasionally to wonder whatever happened to Blake Feese or Tyler Walker or Nathan Haseleu.

There’s some truth to the notion that some of them don’t get much of a chance, given the current state of the economy and the utter dominance of Sprint Cup drivers who compete in the Nationwide Series because a) they are successful; b) they sell tickets and boost ratings; and c) sponsors like drivers who are successful because they tend to sell more of their products.Does this Cup domination stunt the growth of young drivers? Almost to a man, they say no, right up to the point where they lose their rides and are relegated to the aforementioned dust bin of history.But the facts say yes.

Justin Allgaier, one of few Nationwide Series “specialists” (it’s hard to call them regulars when Brad Keselowski, Carl Edwards and Paul Menard are “regulars,” too) to win a race this year, is in danger of falling through the ever-widening cracks in the system.Predictably, the reason is that sponsorship is running out. Allgaier, to borrow that frequent cliche of the unsettled, is “looking at options.” He seemed to be the lone breakthrough of the season, the only young driver about whom it could conclusively be said that the future was bright.The problem Allgaier now faces is that of finding a team strong enough, whether in Nationwide, Sprint Cup or even Camping World Truck, to provide him with a chance to shine.It’s not going to be easy.

QUILTS (continued): 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.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: For quite some time, my right shoulder has hurt. I saw an orthopedic doctor, who says I have a tear of my rotator cuff. He suggested surgery. What do you think of surgery for this? I am scared that I could be worse off after the operation than I am now. I am only 44 and am quite active. — K.M.ANSWER: The rotator cuff is a band made up of the tendons of four back muscles. The tendons wrap around the topmost part of the upper arm bone, the humerus, to keep the bone in the shoulder socket. Tears of the rotator cuff are a common problem and one of the principal causes of shoulder pain. Small tears can heal on their own. Larger tears almost always require surgical correction. All surgical procedures demand respect. Something can always go wrong. Most people who have had surgery to correct a rotator cuff tear are glad they had it. By most, I mean more than 95 percent. I would not hesitate to have this surgery.

DEAR DR. DONOHUE: Five years ago, my left breast was removed because of cancer. Some lymph nodes also were removed. The surgeon told me never to have blood pressure taken in my left arm. I haven’t. Sometimes I get a funny look, but I will not allow my left arm to be used. Someone asked why I can’t have my pressure taken there. I was abashed. I’m not sure why. Please tell me. — R.M.ANSWER: Removal of the breast and lymph nodes often disturbs lymph drainage in the involved arm. Lymph is fluid that comes from the blood and circulates around tissues and cells to nourish and protect them. It makes its way back to the circulation through vessels called lymphatics. Removal of lymphatics can produce swelling of the arm, as the fluid cannot find its way back to the circulation. Pressure from the blood pressure cuff could add to the disruption of fluid return to the circulation.The booklet on breast cancer presents the details of its recognition and treatment.

OCTOBER FEaTuREd BusinEssFormerly from St. Louis, Takiya Smith,

owner of Beautique Lash & Brow has lived in Beaufort since 1996. She began her career in the beauty industry after obtaining her certification as a Permanent Makeup Professional earlier this year. She then received her certification as an Eyelash Extension and Eyebrow Threading Specialist and became a National Educator traveling throughout the U.S. to train and certify other beauty experts and cosmetologists. Ever since she was a child, Takiya’s had a passion and love for all things fashion, design and beauty. Seeing an opportunity to bring something new to this area, Takiya combined two things women love most — beauty and fashion, creating a beauty boutique that offers a select line of shoes, handbags and accessories. She then took it a unique step above, by offering and catering exclusively to the grooming and perfection of full, natural looking eyelashes and eyebrows.

Takiya’s clients are women from all ages, ethnicities and walks of life — mothers, daughters, professionals and entertainers. Men also come in for threading services for mustache/beard grooming. What has been most gratifying are the women who have opened up and shared their testimonies of overcoming cancer and have come to Beautique Lash & Brow for eyelash extensions or permanent make up to fill in eyebrows or eyelashes lost during chemotherapy. The joy and tears seen and shared in their feeling beautiful again has been nothing short of amazing and inspiring. Beautique Lash & Brow opened in Beaufort this past May and in Sept. opened a second location at Connie’s Creations in Bluffton.

As a single mother of two children, she lives everyday on purpose with a purpose. Having been blessed, Takiya teaches her children that the sky’s the limit. What’s in the near future for Beautique Lash & Brow? The sky’s the limit! Takiya sees franchise opportunities and many more boutiques opening along the East Coast.
