Hi there In previous postings I have asked about assembly variants and the management of the data associated with them. For this posting I am interested to hear about your feedback on a similar but different topic. This is particularly common in the automotive market but I suspect it occurs anywhere a single PCB design board supports many different variants and these need to be managed dynamically on

I spend way too much time thinking about politics and solutions. A while back I came up with an extensive political platform that I've revised. While I will NEVER run for office (I hope). I do think some of these ideas are worth thinking about and sharing. The first thing I must say is I support the Green New Deal in addition these ideas I've gathered & think best after researching many different things & parties. Its long so bear with me.
1) Pro-environmental energy independent decentralized infrastructure.
1a) Enhanced Geothermal Energy, this is the backbone of US Energy supply and cann suppy almost 30000 years worth of electricity.
1b) Windfarms,
1aI) federally subsidized non-planting farm land can then be used for energy production
1c) high efficiency solar panels on flat roofs, over large parking lots, alongside interstate roadways
and other highways.
1d) Tidal power plants
1e) Compressed Air and Electrical recharge stations nationwide.
1f) Promote enviromentally friendly motors as an imperitive.
1e1) Flywheel Electric battaries
1e2) Capacitor Energy Stoage
1e3) New Lithium Batteries (lithium being a byproduct of Enhanced Geothermal Energy production)
1e4) Safe Compressed Air Storage systems
1g) Pro Mass Transit & Environmenatlly Friendly Transport.

Help Protect & Promote Palestinian (West Bank & Gaza) Sovereignty from Israel & Protect Israel from Palestinian attack by introducing a new UN General Assembly Controlled International Peacekeeping force that supersedes both governments in law enforcement and anti-terrorist issues and is approved to do so by both the Palestinians and Israelis.

6) Pro Humanitarian Foreign Aid
6a) Meeting and Exceeding The annual 0.7% GDP pledged in the 1970 UN General Assembly development conference and meeting and exceeding the Millenium Development Goals.
7) A Federal new income tax code that is based on both a Federal Minimum Wage that is pegged to the rate of inflation (currently in 2012 this would be $12/hr-$24/hr) and to Lowest Paid Worker in the Company. At 1 to 5 times the income of the lowest paid worker the tax rate would be a flat 10% as it increased to 20 times the pay of the lowest paid worker it would increase gradually to 100%. The result is that Executives could get rich it just means paying the employees more to do so balancing what they are willing to be taxed vs how much they are willing they are willing to pay employees. By benefitting employees more money stays flowing in the economy and over all this helps alleviate poverty.
7a) Legal Fines will be based on the nature of the crime and a percentage of income not a flat rate.
8) Pro Balanced Budget Amendment eliminating the deficits
9) Pro Reducing and eliminating the National Debt by use of a Internationally agreed to 5% sales tax on Financial Trade Transactions known as both FTT and STET (not .25% or .50% like some want but the fair regular 5% sales tax many of us already pay at stores) by instituting this so called "Robin Hood Tax" the USA's revenue would be increased to 3.5 Trillion a year (or Current Revenue is 4 Trillion).

Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Short:
I own 3 pairs of these shorts. They are very comfortable and wick sweat away from the right areas and dry quickly. I have ridden 6-7 hour days in these shorts and have never given them a second though. I wear them on every trail ride, longer road rides and some commutes (after those longer rides!). A must for any cyclist.
Sizing is flexible. I wear a large (36" waist) and they fit perfectly but feel like they could got 2" in either direction.
Best Uses
Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Short:
Simply a good effective short. At first the padding seems a little bulky but you forget all about it after a couple miles. The shorts don't slide down at the waist or hike up the knee, the fabric has a nice quality feel, and so far they've been super durable. I throw mine in the washer/dryer with everything else and they haven't stretched out or lost any elastic due to that.
Fit-I'm around a 34 waist so bought the large which fits great. So I'd say if you are between sizes go to the larger unless you are super-skinny (I am not).
I plan to pick up another pair of these soon since I'm using my road bike more lately. Good stuff.
Best Uses
Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Short:
The fit is right on. They stretch super well and stay put. The padding is so good I could actually do with less. The bottom of the legs have dots of silicone instead of a solid bead. This still keeps them from ridding up but does away from irritation that I get from the solid bead pulling at your skin constantly. That alone is a huge improvement. They are not the cheapest shorts but there is a big difference in them and an entry level short.
Best Uses
Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Short:
Great pair of shorts. Have not found anything bad about them.
Best Uses
Comments about Pearl Izumi Attack Short:
These are my everyday shorts for rides of 20-50 miles. They've served me well with no issues. I did wear them on a couple of centuries though and towards the end, it felt like like I could've used a little more padding, but that could have just been my conditioning and not the shorts. There were no chafing issues. Overall, a another quality product from PI.

Kan. lawmaker seeks fall hearing on court nominee
Published on -7/18/2013, 7:10 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
TOPEKA, Kan. (AP) -- The Kansas Senate Judiciary Committee's chairman said Wednesday that he hopes to have a hearing this fall on Gov. Sam Brownback's next nominee to the state Court of Appeals under a new selection system that gives senators the power to block such appointments.
Chairman Jeff King said he's asked legislative leaders to schedule a daylong meeting of his committee in October or November. King, an Independence Republican, said he'd plan to question the GOP governor's nominee to the state's second-highest court and allow members of the public to testify.
But Senate Minority Leader Anthony Hensley, a Topeka Democrat, questioned whether King's proposal, noting that the Senate has another committee for reviewing appointments before lawmakers reconvene their next annual session in January.
Brownback is filling a newly created 14th seat on the Court of Appeals under a law that took effect last month to have the governor to appoint the judges, subject to Senate confirmation. Under the old system -- still in place for the Kansas Supreme Court -- a judicial nominating commission screened applicants and named three finalists, with no role for legislators after the governor's appointment.
"Setting the precedent of an open, thorough process is very important," King said.
Top House and Senate leaders from both parties expect to meet July 29 to decide how many committees will meet this summer and fall and what issues they'll study.
Brownback has until Aug. 29 to name his nominee to the Court of Appeals. Under the new law, the Senate will have 20 days once the Legislature convenes in January to act, or the appointment will be considered confirmed. The law does not mention committee hearings between annual sessions, which are scheduled for 90 days.
If lawmakers were in session, the Senate Judiciary Committee likely would consider a Court of Appeals appointment. But the Senate also has a smaller Confirmation Oversight Committee that decides whether appointees can serve until the full Senate can vote on confirming them.
Hensley said King's proposal is unprecedented, and it might be wiser -- and less expensive -- to have the Confirmation Oversight Committee review the Court of Appeals appointment. King is a member.
"We're in uncharted waters here," Hensley said.

City of Albuquerque
City fines itself for water wasting
The other day I was fined for having water flowing from my yard into the street. Now, I'm not complaining—wasting water is bad, especially since New Mexico is in an extreme drought. But guess who is wasting the most water ... not me, not your annoying neighbor who never fixes the sprinklers. No, it's the city.
According to KRQE, in the last year the City of Albuquerque has racked up a hefty fine of over $21,000 from the Albuquerque-Bernalillo County Water Authority. Even more surprising than the fine is that the areas where the most water is wasted are not large city parks or grassy areas, but street medians. Wow Albuquerque, it may be time for some new sprinklers, don't you think?

I'm sorry if it's rather haughty of me, but I can't contain my ebullience any longer! Containing such excitement has left my heart distended; I have garnered a typewriter!
It's a huge boost for my pedagogy, and none can dispute that. Recently I'd noticed a lack of inky fingers, a clanking metallic cacophony, and musty "old" smell in my quarters. Redressing the situation was simple.
Ways in which this will meliorate my studies:
1) People will know I have a typewriter
2) When I type, everyone in the house will know I have a typewriter.
3) The box makes a nice stand for books.
I can't even imagine how this would have a downside! (Caution: Leaves hands cramped, fingers sore, distracts from work with noise, and often requires troubleshooting).
The idea that such technology is outdated is rather specious.

quote:Well considering how A&M couldn't anything in the Big 12 but somehow miraculously is now a bad *** in the SEC kind of makes you wonder about the strength of the two conferences. Also go to the pay site and the traffic is a lot different. If he wants a larger fan base then he could go to damn near any college in the NCAA. Why did he turn down interviews and jobs from TN, Arky, Michigan, MN, KState, Notre Dame... I am tired of arguing this point and people are going to believe what they want to believe.
quote:Big 12 and SEC are basically the same.
quote:going from TCU to Arkansas isn't that big of a jump
quote:if im gary patterson, no way i leave
quote: if he leaves, he moves into the uber competitive SEC west
quote:TCU also has a siginicantly larger endowment.
quote:Eventually he won't live up to his own standard at TCU now that they are in the Big 12. bye bye BCS bowls.
quote:since when did this become a measure of football success?
quote:Big 12 and Ar-kansas are basically the same.
quote:You could make a pretty good argument that Arkansas is the 5th best job in the SEC west ahead of only the two Mississippi schools. I don't see him leaving TCU for Arkansas.
quote:Except even though there are two schools in Mississippi, they still have a stronger recruiting base than Arkansas. There will never be enough talent to compete.
quote:there's a lot of scared thinking of what could be when arky hires patterson in this thread/board.

Berwick Academy 2012 grads mark their successes
Sunday, June 10, 2012
SOUTH BERWICK, Maine — An audience of family and friends gathered outside Berwick Academy's Fogg Memorial Building Saturday morning to celebrate the Academy's 2012 graduates.
"You brought forth causes and ideas for us to ponder," Schneider stated. "The memory of the class of 2012 is one that we will love forever," Schneider concluded. "Thank you for all that you have given us and I wish you nothing but great memories." Schneider's comments were followed by the Salutatory Address delivered by graduate Devon Wood, who reminisced on her many years at Berwick Academy. "Throughout the years Berwick has remained the one constant in my life," Wood stated, "the one thing that has stayed the same." She also mentioned how Berwick has come to be like another home for her and the 64 other graduates in attendance. "No matter where we go we cannot have a home without a family and that is what the class of 2012 has become."
Class advisors Peter Lassey and Kyle Ridgway announced the class of 2012's gift, a donation of $90,000, which they described as "another remarkable accomplishment." The bell atop the Fogg Memorial Building rang after each graduate walked on stage and was awarded their diploma from Mark Tay, President of the Board of Trustees. Valedictorian and Colby College-bound graduate Erin Trainor concluded her speech and the ceremony by stating, "Berwick Academy challenged us, cared for us, and gave us a solid foundation. Be willing to embrace change and risks. I am sure that each of you will be competent life builders based on your own definitions of success."

Gonzaga University
Flu Pandemic Information
On Wednesday, August 26th, the interim president issued initial guidance to the university community regarding preparations for the Seasonal Flu/H1N1 virus. This message provides additional information and resources for all Gonzaga faculty and staff on issues relating to the 2009/2010 flu season. Minimizing the potential impact of this flu season will require deliberate effort on the part of each member of our university community.
Specific to the Gonzaga community, we have taken the following actions:
- The President has appointed a "tactical team" to coordinate the University's ongoing logistical and communication efforts relating to the seasonal flu/H1N1 virus. This team will also review and bring together the plans currently being developed within each vice presidential division regarding the seasonal flu/H1N1. The team will meet at least weekly.
- On Friday, September 25th, Gonzaga's Health Center will begin offering seasonal flu shots to employees. There will be no cost to employees utilizing their Premera coverage for preventive medical and will be available until the Health Center runs out of vaccine.
- Plant Services staff have installed hand sanitizer dispensers in many common areas across the campus and we urge you to utilize these resources to minimize the spread of germs.
- In order to effectively monitor the number of cases of flu that our campus may experience, we ask that supervisors call the benefits office (Jamie Burchett, x5852) promptly if any staff calls in sick or reports to work with flu-like symptoms (fever, chills, cough, etc.). Supervisors do not need to provide the name of the affected staff, but should provide their position title so we can assess the level of contact they may have had with other employees.
- The Gonzaga Health Center webpage has additional Gonzaga communications and general information regarding the seasonal and H1N1 flu at http://www.gonzaga.edu/Healthcenter/ This link also provides you with access to both the CDC and the Spokane Regional Health District websites that are being regularly updated with the most recent information and recommendations.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends each of us take these everyday steps to protect our health:
- Cover your nose and mouth with a paper tissue when you cough or sneeze. Throw the tissue in the trash immediately after you use it.
- Wash your hands often with soap and water, especially after you cough or sneeze. Alcohol-based hand cleaners are also effective.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth. Germs spread most quickly when transferred from mucus membranes to contact surfaces.
- Try to avoid close contact with sick people unless absolutely necessary.
- If you are sick with flu-like illness, CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone except to get medical care or for other necessities. (Note: Your fever should disappear on its own, without the use of a fever-reducing medicine.) Keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making them sick.
We will continue to provide communication to the Gonzaga community as this flu season unfolds. Please contact Human Resources at x5995 if you have any questions related to this communication.

FloTHERM Products
Perform thermal analysis, create virtual models, and test design modifications of electronic equipment before physical prototyping
Options & modules
FloMCAD™ Bridge
FloMCAD Bridge enables parts and assemblies to be transferred easily and rapidly to FloTHERM for thermal analysis from mechanical computer-aided design (MCAD) software such as Creo Parametric, SolidWorks and CATIA.
FloMCAD Bridge intelligently filters the geometrical data for a particular part or assembly and creates a simplified "thermal equivalent" for analysis purposes.
This is critical because production-quality MCAD solid models contain a vast amount of thermally insignificant geometric detail such as fillets, small holes, chamfers and screw treads. These details provide no accuracy benefit if included but can drastically slow down the solution process.
The ability to defeature a part to match its thermal importance prior to translation offers a massive improvement in the efficiency of the model creation workflow process.
FloEDA™ Bridge
FloEDA Bridge enables printed circuit board designs to be transferred quickly and effortlessly to FloTHERM for thermal analysis, from leading electronic design automation (EDA) software such as Expedition PCB, Board Station, Allegro and CR5000.
FloEDA Bridge works with extracted information from the EDA tool to create FloTHERM representations of the board outline, layer stack up, via distribution, and component layout. FloEDA Bridge represents the copper distribution in each layer with a tessellated (resolution is user controlled) thermal conductivity map.
This 'filtering' enables the complex copper distribution in a board to be included with excellent accuracy and without resorting to excessive geometric detail.
FloEDA Bridge fits perfectly into the existing design flow and permits the user to quickly import existing EDA data, and easily refine that data as appropriate.

Well, Christmas has come and gone…and I didn't watch the movie. I really love Christmas. I have always adored Jimmy Stewart. That movie…it just pisses me off.
I've watched all the movies over the years. I love Miracle on 34th Street. It just gets me every time I see little Natalie Woods running into the house where Santa left his walking stick. Seeing Santa pick the bubble gum scraps out of his beard too. I love the old Bing Crosby movies, and White Christmas is a favorite. Why is it that I can't stand "It's a Wonderful Life"?
I think that it's because of Jimmy. He's been in so many wonderful movies, and played such a variety of characters. The "dream Dad" of my childhood. Jimmy in the early days, when he played characters who were nice. I liked that Jimmy played men who were kind, appreciative and gentle. It's the high water mark that he created. I never wanted him to be anything else.
The first time I watched this movie it was so disappointing. It took a couple of viewings before I realized what was wrong. By then, I was angry. Bedford Falls is a nice place. Who was this kid who couldn't see that; who couldn't wait to shake the dust off his feet and leave everyone behind? When it didn't work out, he was frustrated at not getting that to which he was entitled. He has to stay behind and run the bank. Let me tell you, most people wouldn't whine about being left a business of any kind. Better a "building and loan" company that driving a honey wagon! Then he finally gets the girl- the one he's been Jonesing for all these years while his "buddy" has been dating her. They renovate a big old house and fill it with these great kids. He's the big man around town. The bank president with a heart. Helping others… but when the stuff hits the fan he crumbles like a day old donut. Yells at that poor old drunk uncle. Yells at his kids (yeah- that hurt to watch every time). Goes out and spends money he can't afford getting shit faced drunk because he's feeling sorry for himself. It takes a brush with death and a devine visitation to make him realize that his family is really worth having. You know what? Not cool. If I was Mary I'd be royally pissed. Not just "spit in his coffee pissed". More like "wait for him to brush his teeth and ask if that toothbrush tastes funny-cause I cleaned the toilet with it" pissed. I really don't like you, George Bailey. And each year I resist watching the movie. This year, I've been so busy that I haven't seen a single Christmas movie. And that makes me sad. I need to spend some time curled up on the couch with my family. I need to watch all those old movies. Christmas is gone, but not quite. We won't take the tree down until Epiphany. I'm working a lot this week, but I think we can find some time for Bing, and Natalie; for Rudolph and Frosty, A Christmas Story, A Christmas Carol, A Charlie Brown Christmas…and maybe even Jimmy. I know he's not really George Bailey. He's not just me dad-hero, or an actor. He was a real life dad who probably had his good days and bad. I guess it's time for me to forgive you, Jimmy.

21st Annual Cooperstown Symposium Begins Wednesday
By Samantha Carr
Twenty-one years strong and bigger than ever before.
The Annual Cooperstown Symposium on Baseball and American Culture, co-sponsored by the State University of New York College at Oneonta and the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum, begins Wednesday morning in Cooperstown. Each year, the event brings baseball scholars from throughout the country together to examine the impact of baseball on American culture from inter- and multi-disciplinary perspectives.
"This year we have more speakers than ever before and it will last from Wednesday morning until Friday evening," said Jim Gates, the Hall of Fame's librarian. "We have a wide range of subject listings, and I'm looking forward to it."
This year's event will feature keynote speaker Paul Dickson, author of The Dickson Baseball Dictionary, The UnWritten Rules of Baseball, The Joy of Keeping Score and many other baseball titles. Dickson will be speaking about his work on the historical lexicography of baseball terms and expressions.
The Symposium will feature discussions on everything from baseball and the law to monuments and memorials to music and poetry. It will conclude Friday evening with a screening of Diamond in the Dunes: Hope and Baseball in China's Wild West, a work-in-progress documentary.
Samantha Carr is the media relations coordinator at the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.

The Yonex E-Zone Xi 98, offers the new Yonex Xi technology (Extra Isometric) which expands the sweetspot towards the top of the frame and, according to Yonex, provides a bigger sweetspot and more power with less impact vibration. Also new is the Yonex SD IS Grid shaft. A shock absorbing Grid mesh sheet is inserted into the shaft to absorb the impact vibration between the 2 tubes inside the grip. Yonex also improved the OPS System in the shaft, providing a stable, yet flexible, soft feel. The E-Zone Xi 98 offers excellent power and a flexible, forgiving feel and impresses from all areas of the court. From the baseline the racquet feels very maneuverable allowing easy access to fast swings for power and spin generation. At net the racquet provides the player with all the feedback needed for confident and crisp volleys. There is ample feel for all the touch and finesse needed on drop volleys and angles. On serve the Yonex E-Zone Xi 98 provides some nice power thanks to its firm and responsive flex. The 16x19 string pattern really helped in adding plenty of bite to slice and kick serves. All in all the E-Zone Xi 98 is a great offering in the player's racquet category and well worth a demo for intermediate level players and above.

I got these gloves cause I was having pain in my wrist and palm of my hands during yoga. They worked great with enough stability and gel cushion on the palm that my hands didn't hurt at all the next time. Great product!

Out and about on the last day of January I saw a house which still sported the snowflake outdoor lights and the colored lights on the fir tree. That's a little late, the second month just starting.

Pattern now available on sidebar! ---->
I'm linking with Today's Creative Blog!
The brown really pops in this quilt . It looks like pouring melted chocolate for a square jug into another into another, Maybe you could call the pattern Chocolate sauce.
kinda goes with it being a wedding quilt too. :)
Oh kiddo....you have such a wonderful spirit...your friend has gone through a lot..so glad she has found her companion.
The quilt is beautiful...no fretting that binding...I love it.
How about calling it Always Connected?
i don't have a perfect name for it but i would be so excited if you made a pattern for it...i have been staring at it wondering how on earth you made it.
YOU are so sweet!! when i read the story and looked at the quilt... i only thought of { building blocks }... it's tough to rebuild one's life and you gotta do it one block at a time! Congrats to your friend!
I am happy that your friend is finally happy and has found a wonderful husband to love her.
The quilt is beautiful! Taking into account the whole story I was thinking "Sticks & Stones" I know how cruel people can be when you are going through something they don't understand, even if they are not trying to be. I am sure it wasn't easy for her!
I love the story and the quilt is amazing Amy! Please make a pattern!
I would call it "Links - Past & Future".
Bricks on sticks?
I love this one. Good work! I love the story behind it and I'm thrilled that your friend is in a new happy marriage.
Love the quilt.
I was thinking "Connect the blocks" or "Connect the links."
dang - i love it - and what a story, huh? we just never know, do we? i can't stop looking at the quilt - it reminds of ying/yang b/c one is the opposite of the other - that of course, reminds me of seinfeld and the black and white cookie. i like some of the other suggestions, though... something about the way life works - blocks...
Right away when I saw it I thought it was this quilt. http://aquiltisnice.blogspot.com/2010/05/summer-blocks.html
Very similar...
Congrats to your friend. Everyone deserves to be happy and be loved!
Beautiful. It reminds me a bit of Cluck Cluck Sew's Chain Reaction pattern: http://www.cluckclucksew.com/2010/03/chain-reaction-quilt-pattern.html
I like the width of your borders. So great. And what a touching story to go along with it.
"Squares of Time" The beautiful brown quilt reminds me about the sands of time and how life changes just like the sand on the beach hence the name "Squares of Time.
I love the quilt! How about "Friendly Connection" or simply "Connections" ? What a wonderful gift!
I love it! The brown sashing really stands out. I like simple names like "Connections". What a sweet friend you are!
Jennifer :)
Love your quilt, and the story that inspired you to make it. Mental illness is all to often hidden because people are ashamed. However it is no different than any other illness one faces. You are a great friend, and obviously very understanding. Not sure for a name but when I look at your quilt I see windows. Maybe something along the lines of "windows to your soul".
Gorgeous quilt. Sad story with a great happy ending. I've got the perfect name for your quilt. The Modern Honeycomb. I hope you like-y because I would love that pattern. It reminds me a lot of a honeycomb pattern, but with the more modern touch of squares subbing in for the traditional hexagons. In LOVE! =)
Aren't friendships the best? They give you so many experiences in which to enrich your life.
How about calling it....
"The Square Root of Life"
This is soooo lovely Amy! Such a wonderful gift. It takes a strong person to go through what your friend's gone through, and to come out of it finding happiness is just amazing.
Hmm what to name it... How about "Path To Happiness" since it seems like your friend's taken quite a journey to where she is now.
Hmm. For some reason this quilt reminds me of boxcars in a railroad. Maybe "Modern Boxcar"?
Or if u want it to be more tied to the concept of a wedding quilt, maybe "Eternally Linked"?
It's so beautiful! It kind of reminds me of those time lines in history books that have a line and then a block of "explanation" above it. So, I would call it Time Line. :)
Great quilt!! I didn't read the other posts, so this one may be taken..."Missing Link". Since not all of the squares have borders!
Great quilt!
Gorgeous quilt...and a happy beginning to the story too!
Great quilt! I would name it in honor of your friend and what you already wrote: Big Dose of Happiness and then include the backstory with the pattern.
I didn't read the whole story but my 1st thought was "links of love". The squares seem to link together. :)
Now that I've read the rest of the post "links of love" is so fitting (in my humble opinion) :)
i'm thinking "interlocked" or "chain linked" or something like that...
I think Des had the right idea with Linked.
Beautiful quilt, Amy. What a wonderful gift. I love that pattern.
I love this pattern. I like how the dark brown is the focal point yet the light brown mirrors the same pattern. I think Yin and Yang Squared would be a good name. Two basic blocks working together in different color combinations to make something greater than either could be separately.
I suffer from depression and hit rock bottom soon after our first daughter was born. Thankfully I was able to realize (after a long while) that I needed help and got it but it has been a long hard journey. Not for the faint in heart - bless my husband. Mental health issues often show up in the early 20's. The stresses of school, missions, marriage and being out on ones own don't help the trend either. I hope we can all keep an eye out on our young adult friends and family and not be afraid to speak out and talk to them if we think there is an issue.
your quilt is really amazing (equally impressed that it came all from the stash too), I think i saw that inspirational magazine photo too because something like this has been floating around my "i'll make it when i have time" pile too. It would be great if you wrote up a pattern. Maybe you could call it "stash chain" or something..
I agree with your assessment that mental illness has a stigma that causes people to avoid it in conversation, even when the family members affected need open support more than anything. I don't know any family that is free of this type of trouble, but a whole lot of them pretend it isn't there..
I'm glad your friend was able to safely move on.
That is a beautiful quilt. I like the binding and I'm sure she loves it! I think a pattern would be great. I would call it something with the word "connect" or "connections". I see some previous posters had the same thought.
I think we're all thinking alike! I came up with connections and time after time (can anyone say that without thinking of Cyndi Lauper?) How about Time Traveler, or Stone's Throw/Skipping Stones (the way that when you throw a stone it skips across the water) I like the idea of nature because the quilt has such an organic feel to it. Whatever you name it, I'm ready to buy the pattern! ♥
What a stunning quilt...well done! I love the optical illusion created with the solid frames and it would be a great quilt to use up some charm squares!
Beautiful job! Love the colours, love the backing, love the pattern!
How about "Love Squared"?
Connections. Lovely quilt.
Really touching story and wonderfull quilt! I would call it: The path to happiness.
That quilt is awesome - what a story and you are so correct about how people react/rally around different diseases.
Since it looks like building blocks - how about building a new beginning
Kinda looks like a ladder so - "ladder of happiness: or ladder of love - play on labor of love
Or Ups and downs but now happy
Or Happy begins now.
Can't wait for the pattern !!! what an awesome gift
Beautiful color combinations!
How about "New Chapter"?
the quilt is beautiful! thank you for sharing the story. You are so very right about how hard it is to help someone through dealing with mental illness issues. So, I just give it to God and pray.
I have a name for the quilt for you...well a couple..
"Life's journey" or Journey to the other side."
oh and I love the binding...nice pop of color.
There are already so many great names! Perhaps "happiness Squared" since they are squares, "happiness Cubed", or Links of love.
You will probably make her cry when she see's this gorgeous quilt you made her. Wow!! I love the inpiration that led to designing and making this wonderful version. Love it!
I suggest "Life A La Mode". It makes me think of chocolate with all kinds of topping, so to interpolate,,,life with all kinds of good juicy experiences.
What about calling it "Plinko"? It reminds me of that game on The Price is Right where the person stands at the top of the board and drops the plinko chip and watches it bounce on the pegs before it lands on the big money at the bottom! Love this look, and I can picture it in colors for my son's bed.
beautiful quilt!!! it reminds me of paths, so maybe "choose your own path" or "make your own way"? :)
bess :)
This reminds me of the candy called "Cow Tails" or, a "Chain Link Fence" . This looks intricate.
great quilt!
How about "Rejuvenate" or "Revitalize" because it seems that's what your friend has done with her life.
In nursing school we called mental illness the "no casserole" sickness, because no one brings you a casserole when you have mental illness.
I love your Quilt!
My choice for a name is 'Trellis' as it looks like a beautiful Wall Garden.
Actually I like that for a name also.......
You could use either Trellis or Wall Garden
Connecting Paths..
Forever Connected
Love the quilt and I'm sure your friend will treasure it forever!
Take care!
Beautiful quilt beautiful story. Wishing your friend many happy and blissful Years together.
"Around the Block"
"Chained Melody" (Can you tell I just watched Ghost this afternoon?)
LOVE this quilt....what about
"Hip To Be Square" quilt
I've seen a similar quilt called Charm Bracelet, but this one is almost a double charm bracelet. It reminds me of those bead curtains you can buy for doors and windows, and it also looks a bit psychedellic because the eyes can shift focus from dark to light, so "Bead Curtain Mirage" would be a supercool name!
It's such a lovely quilt and a wonderful story. How about "Inside Out"
Maybe "Friendship Chain" because of the story it has behind it and it looks like interlocking links. Just found your blog and your quilts are beautiful!
M&Ms... because the quilt is so colorful ( like the candy) with different shades of chocolate. I love it and may your friend have all the happiness in heaven gives her!
How about "from here to square"? Very pretty quilt.
How about aMAZEing Grace. Mental illness is kind of like a maze, some people find their way out, others don't. But it is by His grace that we can receive comfort. Hugs to your friend.
"German Chocolate Cake" is what it reminds me of! Great quilt! Thanks for sharing it.
Wow love your quilt and the colours. Thank you for sharing and a massive amount of good luck to your friend. I thought of these names for the quilt...
1. Blessings
2. New Beginings
3. 2nd Chance
For me, I like the binding, it's blue!! :)
I think the quilt is beautiful, I look to it and think in life's crossroads: you know, life is a road with crossroads, and you go and make choices (so in away you turn right or left) and sometimes when you look back you can see the pattern, why you are where you are.
You're also right in mental diseases reaction: it's not easy fo the patiente and to the surrounder people, much have to do yet. All the happiness in the world to your family.
I married into a family that has multi-generations of mental history. Not only is mental illness hard on the person suffering from it but also on the families and friends. And you're right about the social stigma attached to mental illness and the reluctance for people to talk about it.
As for the quilt...I love the pattern and design! The name 'stepping stones' comes to mind. Kind of like life. We must step on each stone to learn something about ourselves, our strength, faith, etc. And each stone makes a path that leads us to happiness. Such as a wonderful husband for your friend!
Kim Nielsen
When I saw the first picture of your quilt I thought "Stop Light."
i just recently found your blog, and i love it!!
this quilt is gorgeous, thankyou for sharing the story behind & the inspiration for it. i'm sure it will be well loved.
A beautiful quilt, with a beautiful story (with a happy ending). I cried when I read it because it resonated with me - when my husband was diagnosed with cancer, we had so much support from friends and family and complete strangers. However, when he was battling depression a year later it was very isolating and we both felt like we couldn't go to people as we had a year earlier. Our story does have a happy ending in that he is in remission from both the cancer and the depression!
Anyway - I think a name for this beauty would be "Love's Links" - you and your friend have been linked together for a long time, and as we grow and evolve, we just add links to our own chain...
I think of windows when I see this, so I would call it "Open Windows." It reminds me of the phrase from the Sound of Music: When God closes a door, somewhere He opens a window.
How beautiful... What about "interconnected" or "chains of a link".... Something to honor your friend and the friendship...
Love this quilt!
What about friendship at every turn?
I wish I could come up with some clever quilt name to get this pattern for free! Such a great quilt and sweet story behind it.
I am so happy for your friend. And I love the way you wrote about 'mental illness'. It couldn't have been said better!
I was a single mom raising 4 kids all on my own for many years, and started my own interior design business...which eventually led me into the quilting industry. So when I say 'kudos' to your friend...it goes out with admiration.
Beauty of a quilt you made her. I'm sure it will touch her heart.
I'd love to have this pattern. How about Modern Love?
I like the already-suggesed names of Linked and aMAZEing Grace.
Baeutiful quilt. I wish your friend a wonderful marriage.
How about "Linked."?
I just got turned on to your blog from Amy at Amy's Creative Side. I like your style. Hope to share more with you as we all go forward! Best. Susan
That is an awesome quilt!! The name that pops into my head is: Rubics Cube Quilt!
I'm sure she loved it, as do I!
I love the chocolate in this quilt and I love the story. How about Staying Connected?
Thank you for sharing the very personal story behind your gorgeous quilt. I love all the quilt-names that have been suggested. Here's a couple more - Goodbye Hello or Rhythm of Life - to honour your friend's past and to embrace her future. Catherine
I am no good at coming up with names, but I will DEFINITELY be buying this pattern!
It looks like pictures frames to me, so I would probably just call it the picture frame pattern. Maybe since you made it for your friend & her first husband had such bad mental illness, you could give a portion to an org. that benefits those with mental illness or research of the diseases?
The quilt is lovely. Really beautiful. I just look at newly married couples and think ..."I know something you don't know"...almost like I'm afraid for them. You know?
My suggestions is "Connections". It is the connections that we have with others that are so important. All the best to your friend.
How about "Boxed In"?
I'm sure that is how your friend felt during her life and now she is flying free....
Ok- my idea "Beyond Bonds", because freindship is so much more. It's listening and standing by when friends don't rely on you; it's accepting and letting each other make her own decisions at times!
i really loved this post, the quilt, and what you said about mental illnesses. thanks for sharing.
the quilt is stunning!
love your blog :)
please keep it up!
Love the quilt! It's fabulous! And I am so glad your friend has found some happiness.
Very nice quilt! It's a beautiful gift.
I work as an art therapist with the mentally ill. I know exactly what you mean. Sometimes it is very hard to deal, & I get to go home at night. I can't imagine what it would be like to live with it myself... it brings a completely different level of compassion to the plate. One that many are not familiar with because of fear. Which is too bad, there is so much to learn from everyone on this earth. Everyone has some impact and connection to another... no escaping that.
I would call it: It's All Connected. Or All Connected.
May this marriage be Blessed! :)
This story of your friend is very moving to say the least. I totally agree with you about the whole mental health thing. In my life, I have know several individuals who battle with this type of thing on a daily basis. Tough to say the least. I hope that your find has truly found her pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. I know she sure found that in you!
Great pattern! Love the colors! You should definitely print up the pattern.
Here from Get Your Craft On. So true about society not accepting mental disorders as a real serious issue. You should like a very compassionate friend and your friend is lucky to have you. Beautiful quilt!! I love the pattern.
~ The Speckled Dog
Oooooh, I really love this quilt! PLEASE print the pattern. For a name: how about "Grecian Link" if you want sophisticated or "In and Out" if you don't. It would be an honor to name such a lovely thing!
Love the story. I would call it "finding the way out" because it made me think of all those puzzles where you "start here" and then go through all these funny little trails and backtracks, trying to find the way to the end, where you get out. Sounds like that was sort of her story, too.
My family deals with lots of depression and alcoholism, so I know about mental health issues. A day at a time.
this is beautiful.
i think you should name it "a-maze-ing" because it looks like a maze sort of :)
very touching story, very beautiful quilt. Amazing how the human mind/body & soul affect so many lives through the years. I immediately thought of the stories your friend will be able to tell her grandchildren some day. How even in the most difficult situations she pressed on & has been blessed. To me she has a real 'legacy' to share with her family. Good work, good story, good friend.
The quilt is beautiful! I'm thinking "All squared up" would be a good name, but it also reminds me of hop scotch too!
I'd name the pattern "Friendshiop chain" BTW- I adore this!!
Melissa Houston
I've been thinking about this since your post came up in my reader a whole week ago. And my best suggestion is "chocolate squares" which has nothing to do with friendship, or finding one another, or love, or new hope and marriage. Of course it may or may not have everything to do with my current craving of those little Dove squares...
Beautiful job and it fits so well to go to a beautiful friend who has another chance at married happiness.
This is so cool--whatever you name it, I'd love the pattern for my teenage son. It seems very grown up and manly (without being bad for a women). nice!
Gorgeous! I would totally make one of these!!
What a gorgeous quilt! Thanks for sharing the background story. It really enriches the quilt. Very glad that your friend has found such contentment.
A fantastic quilt and I can appreciate your story behind it. I have seen too many dealing with PTSD through their life experiences in the military or other events and even though it's common knowledge it happens, passint the stigma point is very difficult. I am glad your friend has found happiness with a new partner.
And that makes me think the title should reflect that... "There's no blocking happiness"
I think the fabrics seem happy in and of themselves.
P. from The Way I Sew It blogged about this wonderful quilt. She wasn't wrong, it's fantastic!
You're right, mental illness is twice tragic--once for the illness itself, and once for society's lack of understanding.
Congrats to your friend with her new marriage.
I love this quilt Amy....a great name...lets see. Since your friend just got married maybe "Chain me up! I'm in Love". The squares to me look like chinks in a chain. I love it!!!
This quilt is so beautiful. I love the pattern.
I LOVE this quilt! The story that goes with it makes me call this pattern . . . "Life is like a box of chocolates" because ya just never know what your going to get! And the pattern looks like a box of very fancy decorated chocolates.
I didn't read all the replies so don't know if this has been suggestion. I'd name the quilt after your friend + happiness. So say her name is Sandy
Sandy' Happiness
I absolutely love this quilt - it's just gorgeous! How about "Around the Block"?
Beautiful quilt, touching story. For a name, how about "The bonds that bind us". Too heavy maybe? Just seems to fit all around with the story past and present, and the pattern.
"Mental illness" runs in our family too, and I agree that it's a horrible taboo stigmatizing experience for all involved. So much is being learned though. I prefer to call it more of a "neurological disorder". I'm SOOO happy for your friend, and hope that the wedding was wonderful!!
I'm way late posting on this post but I was attracted by the beatiful quilt and touched by the story behind it. I also have mental illness in my family. It's not severe, but nonetheless, unsettling.
The blocks remind me of a road wrapping around each colored/focus block. Maybe "No Roadblocks" would be an appropriate tribute to your friend. It sounds like she had many "roadblocks" in her life that she didn't let get in her way. Glad that she's now in a good place - and lucky to have a friend like you!
This pattern reminds me or resembles a skyscraper with elevators going up and down. You can get whimsical and put people in some of the blocks/squares.
Fran Johnstonbaugh
How about "FRIENDSIP'S PATH" ?? GREAT quilt!!!!! Happy for you and ur friend!!!!

Michael Miller, Cotton Couture |
More color. Bright color collection seemed so hot this year. (going clockwise) Above left is Thomas Knauer with a quilt he made using his new collection Savannah Bop, inspired by his daughter. SO sweet. Incredible applique patterns by Don't Look Now. Cute Monica (aka Happy Zombie) with her latest collection for Lecien, Winterkist. And cute new Pam Kitty Morning collection for Lakehouse. (The quilt with the houses was made by Nanette. I can't take any credit for making something so wonderful, but I did get to personally schlep that quilt to market in my own suitcase, for Pam's booth. It was tough, but someone had to do it.)
And there we go. Congratulations for hanging in there to the end of this word-heavy, picture-even-heavier, blog post. My brain is still mushy from trying to coherently summarize. I have a couple more small posts about other Market details and creations, but I'll save those for next week and give us both sometime to recover.
