"Navigating the maze-like alleyways" in Varanasi, India, said Joe Barrett, is one of the activities that once seemed "daunting and impossible" when he began Princeton's inaugural Bridge Year Program this past fall. After several months in India, he and the other Princeton students are now able to maneuver through the city, "without thought or hesitation."

Students finding their place in the world through Bridge Year Program
Posted March 3, 2010; 12:12 p.m.
"Transformation" was the desire of the 20 students selected for Princeton's inaugural Bridge Year Program. Now, six months into the program, they have experienced just that.
From learning to speak a new language to discovering another culture to building cleaner-burning stoves, these students have been transformed by daily life in another country. Progressing from the first day, when everything was new and different, they now feel that they have a home away from home.
In groups of five, the students are based in Ghana, India, Peru and Serbia. They have deferred the start of their freshman year at Princeton to spend a tuition-free enrichment period abroad focused on public service.
In each location, the students live with host families as they gain first-hand knowledge of their new surroundings and begin to play a meaningful role in the communities in which they live and work.
Each student is engaged in a volunteer assignment organized by on-site partners selected by the University. Projects range from education to health care to environmental conservation and more.
"I'm very pleased with how the Bridge Year Program has been unfolding in these first few months," said John Luria, the program director. "Our first cohort of students is a remarkable group. It's a challenging experience, and participants seem to be fully embracing the challenge."
Impressions of the students' experiences are posted monthly on the Bridge Year Program website. Brimming with personal discoveries, the accounts suggest that when these students begin their studies as freshmen at Princeton in fall 2010, they will have a world of ideas to share with their classmates.
Luria noted that in an early blog, one of the students, Lizzie Martin, wrote about her "desire to push herself outside of her 'comfort' zone and into a 'learning' zone while in India."
He added, "This is something that we've seen from all of our participants over the past few months -- the desire to be challenged, and the capacity to learn. It's been very rewarding to see the students reflect on the Bridge Year experience and, in the process, gain greater awareness of who they are, their place in the world and their capacity to influence change."
Many of the students' comments focus on settling in, host families, cultural practices, volunteer work and the environs. Below are some excerpts spanning different locations over different time periods:

Culture and environs
"Our group has learned that regardless of the area, whether we have been there or not, chai will be present. Drinking chai is one of the best ways to learn about Varanasi, Hinduism and your surroundings in general. It forces you to slow down, look around and take in what you see. We have sipped chai in the market, on the ghats, in restaurants, on a sandbar and everywhere in between." --Andrew Finkelstein, India, October
"The notes of hip-life music pounding from the nearest 'spot,' the shouts of 'puriwater!' piercing the air, the beeps of passing taxis, the piping notes of morning song birds and the even louder crows of roosters are becoming familiar in our ears. --Kathleen Ryan, Ghana, October
"During our time in Kanda, we have had the opportunity to learn a lot about village life. One of our recent activities was a discussion about the ways that joint families live and operate -- the distribution of power, the roles of various family members, etc." --Lizzie Martin, India, September

"We have all been frustrated in some way by our idealistic notions. Despite this, we have come to realize -- with the help of each other's insight and perspective -- that the impact that we will have on our respective organizations is immeasurable and invaluable. We know that we are 'making a difference': Jessica feels it every time a blind student is able to read the material for a course because she put in the time and effort to Braille it; Nick sees it whenever one of his students uses a word or grammatical construction correctly ... ; and Aria recognizes it when she teaches two-year-olds the difference between 'up' and 'down' using a ball game." --Cole Freeman, Ghana, November
"Our experience building cleaner-burning stoves on the Inca Trail gave us a sense of the kind of impact we might make in our time in Peru. While we knew that the stoves that we constructed would reduce the amount of firewood used by the family and decrease the amount of smoke inhaled by family members in the home, we learned of a more immediate impact that our work was having. The local community, accustomed only to foreign tourists hiking their way to Machu Picchu, commented on how shocked they were to see foreigners, especially young foreigners, doing physical labor, mixing barro, or mud, and carrying bricks. We walked away from the experience knowing that we had on some level influenced the local community's perceptions of foreigners." --Leah Bushin, Peru, October
Volunteering, living with host families, practicing the local language and partaking in a variety of cultural enrichment activities are some of the ways Bridge Year students engage with local society in their host countries. Tasting new foods from street vendors is a favorite pastime, as demonstrated here by (from left) Lizzie Martin, Chhaya Werner, Andrew Finkelstein and Joe Barrett at a lassi (yogurt-based drink) shop in Ram Nagar, India.

Settling in
"More and more I notice us seizing opportunities or creating them where they don't exist, often shaping our experiences rather than only letting them come to us. I'm so impressed and proud of how far we have come and what we have made of ourselves and the opportunities afforded to us by the Bridge Year. It just keeps getting better and better." --Brian Reilly, Peru, January
"With our increasing language dexterity and growing grasp of the subjunctive tenses, we've all struck up conversations with Ricardo, the man we fondly call 'Churro Hombre,' who sells the best deep fried dough with caramel filling on the market street every evening." --Agnes Cho, Peru, November
"Now, activities such as navigating the maze-like alleyways, buying the foods for breakfast (each from a different street vendor), arguing with rickshaw wallas, or biking on the massively congested streets, that at first seemed daunting and impossible, are completed without thought or hesitation." --Joe Barrett, India, November
Though program participants live with different host families and work separately, they find many opportunities to spend time with each other as a group.

Host families
"After we moved from the stage of always asking what we could do to help, we were able to see what needed doing and do it to the best of our abilities. Whether it was washing dishes or cooking, sweeping the house or keeping an eye on a baby, helping younger siblings with their homework or helping customers at the family store, we became accustomed to our families' lifestyles." --Aria Miles, Ghana, January
"My host mother, Nada, has busied herself for the last month with preparing food for winter, a process that, in my mind, only exists in fairy tales and a long-ago time before refrigerators or supermarkets. Nada asked if families in the United States are making the same preparations, and I had to admit that no, I didn't know of any families that buy 200 pounds of peppers to pickle and/or freeze, or pick 12 crates full of apples and quince (a funky furry fruit that looks like an apple, but is hard and tart) to make into juice. This process may seem a bit antiquated because in both Serbia and the U.S. we have access to peppers and apples year round, but it is an excellent illustration of the importance of food, family and tradition." --Katherine Mount, Serbia, November
"The homestay experience remains one of the most valuable and tangible aspects of our Bridge Year experience. For many of us, the companionship of our host siblings provides an extra layer of care and comfort." --Lelabari Giwa-Ojuri, Serbia, December
During the second half of their program, Bridge Year participants in Ghana support local teachers in rural junior secondary schools. In Seniagya, Jessica Haley teaches math class to first-year students and supports other teachers when needed. (Photo: Courtesy of the Bridge Year Program)
Challenges and learning
"It is about sharing our cultures. Yes, we will come up against many differences, and we will sometimes miss the ways which we are used to, but these differences are part of the reason that we decided to come to a foreign country rather than staying in our familiar surroundings at home." --Ashley Vinson, Serbia, January
"When we first arrived in Peru it was as if we did not know anything. Everything was totally different to us; not just the culture, but also the daily routines. At first, we did what we were told. …However, November came with a wind of change. We were no longer trying to get accustomed to our lives in Urubamba, but we were starting to shape it. We had enough time to observe and discover, and it was time to make changes of our own will." --Tugce Tunalilar, Peru, November
"We were five 'Obronis' -- foreigners -- placed in a world much different from our own. We looked different, spoke a different language, ate different food and dressed differently. However, the genuine graciousness and humility that the Ghanaian people showed us allowed our initial feelings of isolation and culture shock to quickly subside." --Nick Ricci, Ghana, September
Many rural communities in the Peruvian Andes are difficult to access, requiring long treks up steep slopes.

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions and is suffered by millions of Americans. In the past, the condition was associated with adolescence but while blemishes and breakouts are more prevalent in younger skin, more and more adults are reporting the problem. With such a widespread issue comes a very high demand for over the counter treatments. Even mild acne can be embarrassing and frustrating and those who experience breakouts almost always look for a solution to clear the skin. Over the years, the beauty care industry has introduced a host of new treatments available for acne sufferers but throughout all of the advances in science, Benzoyl Peroxide remains one of the most popular ingredients for preventing and treating blemishes.
Benzoyl Peroxide is a member of the peroxide family and was the first organic peroxide to be synthesized in laboratories. You can now find the ingredient in a variety of products for acne prone skin.
Benzoyl Peroxide has been available in over the counter preparations for decades and is one of the most reliable topical treatments for mild to moderate acne. The ingredient works by oxygenating the follicle and killing the bacteria responsible for acne breakouts. The compound also encourages skin cells to slough off, thereby clearing pores and allowing blemishes to heal.
Over the counter creams, gels, washes and lotions will have a Benzoyl Peroxide concentration of between 2.5% and 10%. While the lowest concentration poses the lowest risk of side effects, many dermatologists believe that a higher percentage is necessary for sufficient results, especially in cases where there are particularly stubborn acne breakouts.
Many people have seen their faces clear up and maintain clarity with the help of Benzoyl Peroxide but there are also many people who experience sensitivity including redness, stinging, inflammation and peeling. While some people will develop a tolerance in due time, others will find that their skin is just too sensitive to use Benzoyl Peroxide and will need to seek out more gentle and less irritating alternatives.
To avoid irritation, it is always recommended to use the lowest percentage available of Benzoyl Peroxide to start and begin by using only a small amount every other day. As tolerance builds, you can work up to twice a day as needed with higher concentrations. While many people may be tempted to combine different products that contain Benzoyl Peroxide, it is important to begin conservatively and allow the skin to acclimate. Using other over the counter topical acne treatments such as salicylic acid in combination will also increase the risk of irritation and dryness. Combining different products containing Benzoyl Peroxide can also increase the chances of developing dry and irritated skin.
Because Benzoyl Peroxide can cause sun sensitivity, be sure to avoid direct sun exposure whenever possible and use a broad spectrum sunscreen every day, even during the winter months. The sun can also exacerbate acne prone skin and cause long term damage so it is always advisable to wear protection on a daily basis.
Use an oil free moisturizer after every cleanse in order to keep your skin hydrated. Moisturizers containing oils should be avoided as these can clog the pores and contribute to additional breakouts. There are oil-free moisturizers that are developed specifically for oily and acne prone skin. These products keep the skin hydrated without causing additional pimples.
Before using Benzoyl Peroxide, understand that like any form of peroxide, bleaching of the hair and fabrics can occur. Keep any creams, gels and lotions out of direct contact with the hair and clothing. Even after cleansing, small amounts can remain on the skin and this can cause discoloration of linens and towels.
Not all acne will respond to Benzoyl Peroxide and in cases where over the counter acne treatment products fail, it may be necessary to seek a prescription from a dermatologist. Even with all of its success stories, Benzoyl Peroxide has its limits.

By Jerry O'Brien
Proctor, MN
Due to the rain out of all but one feature event on June 17, the four remaining
events were run prior to the 6-24 program. Each was a full length feature. Darrell
Nelson won both the WISSOTA Late Model and Modified main events. In the 25
Late Model event Nelson tracked down Aaron Lillo from the seventh starting
position. Lillo started from the outside of the front row and it took Nelson until the
21st lap to make the pass after the first caution flag of the race. Earlier there had
been a red flag situation as the cars of Gregg Hill and Late Model rookie Scott
Herrick tangled off turn two and crashed into the ditch along the back stretch.
Herrick's #00 did a side over roll and landed on its wheels while Hill's #8 finished
partially on one of the huge tractor tires that are in front of the guard rail. Hill was
soon out and walking about but it took rescue workers several minutes to extract
Herrick who was seen walking to the ambulance. Word came later that he was
taken to St. Mary's Essentia Health in Duluth where he was admitted to the I.C. U.
There was no other word on his condition by the end of the race program.
Nelson was the winner while Lillo held off a charging Kyle Peterlin for
second. Harry Hanson finished fourth and Todd Frank rounded out the top five.
Nelson also pulled off the win in the WISSOTA Modified makeup feature as
he roared to the front from his fourth starting spot. Once he got to the front there
was no catching him despite three caution flags that kept the pack close. The final
caution came on the white flag lap setting up a green/white/checkered finish.
Nelson held off Ryan Aho and Jody Bellefeuille for the win. Justin Jones and Paul
Schultz finished in the top five.
Nick Oreskovich bested Mike Bellefeuille in the Super Stock makeup feature
as the third row made their way to the front and battled for the win. Oreskovich
chased Bellefeuille throughout most of the 20 lap race but couldn't quite make the
pass until a caution flag with six laps remaining in which Bellefeuille tangled with
a lapped car. Shortly after the restart Oreskovich made the pass and went on to
take the win. Bellefeuille hung on for second ahead of kevin Salin, Pat Heikkinen
and Al Rapp.
Dustin Follett held off Josh Loucks for the win in the 15 lap makeup Pure
Stock feature. It was a mad scramble at the front of the field at the start. Mark
Korte grabbed the lead from the pole at the green flag as Chad Nikstad, Jon
Hammitt, Follett and Esten Nelson skirmished for the lead. It was three wide for
second which turned into a five car battle for the lead which went to Follett. The
caution flag flew as Nikstad lost the right rear wheel. Follett held on to the lead at
the restart with tn laps remaining over Loucks, Jeff Engelmeier ansd Esten Nelson.
By the half way mark Glenn Dammer had taken over third and Follett was in
control. Dammer and Loucks battled back and forth for second with Loucks finally
nailing down the spot. Follett went on to take the win over Loucks, Dammer,
Craig Horak who had started 23rd and Engelmeier in the top five.
After heat races determined who started where in the scheduled portion of the
Sunday night races, the first to the track was the Midwest Modfiieds. Rookie Paul
Suzik led early from the pole over Chris Bretting, but it was Neil Balduc who
moved from the third row to pressure Suzik. Suzik made a mistake and slipped off
the back stretch leaving room for Balduc to sail by into the lead. Shortly thereafter
the 45Jr of Loren Inman stopped in turn four as a foreign object struck and broke
his helmet face shield. Inman was able to drive himself to the pits and racing
resumed with Balduc still leading. Deven VanHouse moved into second with
Andrew Inman third and last week's winner Dan Kingsley up from 14th to fourth.
Balduc was able to pull away from the pack but Dan Larsen brought out the
caution flag. Then, after the restart, Kingsley slid off turn three bringing out the
caution flag again. The green flag flew with five laps remaining, this time for a
Suzik spin. After the green flag flew, Suzik spun again ending the first year
driver's run. It was another green/white/checkered finish and Balduc had little
trouble taking the win. VanHous, Ross Fuhrman, Kingsley and Bretting finished in
the top five.
Next up it was 20 laps for the Super Stocks. Kevin Salin bolted into the lead off
the front row at the green flag but Scott Lawrence wasn't going to let him get too
far away. Andy Davey had the same idea, Brian Carl looked racy in the early
going and Mike Bellefeuille was also within striking distance. Salin, Lawrence
and Davey got the bit in their collective teeth and the three streaked away.
Lawrence set his sights on Salin and edged past on the back stretch to the lead.
Lawrence then set sail. Bellefeuille was charging forward and got by Davey into
second. Trevor Wilson was headed forward from his eighth starting spot and
moved into fifth. Lawrence was cruising in the lead as Davey and Bellefeuille
battled for second as Salin and Wilson skirmished for fourth. All this racing
behind him let Lawrence widen his lead until Davey won the second spot and
reeled Lawrence in. Davey was nearly able to get by Lawrence as they lapped
Ashley Smith but was able to hang on for the win. Davey, Bellefeuille, Salin and
Wilson were top five finishers.
The Modifieds rolled onto the track for their 20 lap main event with E. J.
Hietala and Jeff Tardy holding down the front row. On the first try for a start,
Hietala and Tardy collided on the front stretch collecting Darrell Nelson. Both
Tardy and Nelson were knocked out of the event and Hietala wass ent to the rear
of the pack. The restart saw Justin Jones jump to the point ahead of Ryan Aho,
Jody Bellefeuille, Paul Schultz and Destin Lorimor. The caution flag flew for
another collision this time between Rick Niemi, Dennis German and Scott
Heikkinen. The restart saw Jones and Aho get together with Jones charged and
sent to the rear. This left Aho with Bellefeuille to contend with as Lorimor and
Schultz battled for third. Aho drove away to a huge lead and had little trouble the
rest of the way. Bellefeuille was second, Lorimor third, Jones made it up to fourth
and Schultz finished fifth.
George Ledin found himself in the lead in the early going of the 25 lap Late
Model feature. Chris Olson, Todd Frank, Joey Ogston and Tim McMann trailed.
Olson slipped and Frank took second. Ledin was still up front asFrank, Ogston,
Darrell Nelson, McMann and Kyle Peterlin moved in. The first caution flag
appeared when Mark Heinle stalled in turn three with a dozen laps remaining. At
the restart Frank grabbed the lead from Ledin who soon pulled in. Nelson,
Peterlin, Ogston and Harry Hanson gave chase. The caution flag again appeared
when roger Paolo spun in turn one setting up yet another green/white/checkered
finish. Frank held on for the win over Nelson, Hanson, Peterlin and Ogston.
Since it was too wet last week to get the heavy machinery needed to repair the
lights on the north end of the track into the infield, it was deemed necessary to
postpone the Pure Stock feature until next Sunday.

High Street by Lily Ashbury for Moda Fabrics. This fashionable collection celebrates all things bold and bright! Big florals in colors that capture the essence of Summer are just what you need to round out the season. Stephanie of Lily Ashbury is here to tell us all about High Street, so keep reading for a closer look and a GIVEAWAY!
Q: Where did you find your original inspiration for High Street?
A: I often walk to my studio on sunny mornings. Along the way I wander through a popular shopping district full of lovely boutiques and cafes. This collection was inspired by all of the colorful and fashionable window displays along the way.
Q: What was your "aha" moment in designing this collection?
A: For me it's all about color. I can create a design that works well in black and white but if the color version doesn't work then it won't make the cut. My "aha moment" is always when I manage to get a color way working. At that point I like to take a break and quit working for the rest of the day. I have learned that if I over analyze color I tend to start second guessing my choices.
Q: What would be your collection's theme song?
A: Funny you should ask that. I love to assign music genres to my work. It really gets me in the mood to create! For High Street it has to be "Downtown" by Petula Clark.
Q: Tell me about your sewing machine. What kind do you have?
A: I have a Janome 2030 QDC that I bought on sale a few months back. I love it!
Q: What is your favorite part of the fabric industry?
A: I am a relative newcomer to this industry. I spent many years as an illustrator for advertising agencies and corporate clients. So I would have to say my favorite thing about this industry is that I am still learning. It's a wonderful thing to reinvent yourself creatively it keep things fresh and interesting.
Q: From what aspect of your life do you draw creativity?
A: I draw inspiration from many places but I think my iPad Googling obsession has become the front runner. It's so cool in this day and age to be able to research anything with such immediacy. I remember having to go to the library to access visual inspiration. I often wonder how I managed back then.
Q: What is your design process?
A: I usually do my sketching in the evening, sometimes with a glass of wine in hand. I then scan my sketches and work on them in Photoshop or Illustrator. I use a Cintiq which is a large computer monitor that you draw directly on with a stylus. I love it because it feels so much more natural than using a mouse.
Q: What is your favorite print in the collection?
A: For my favorite print in my High Street collection I'd have to say it's a tossup between Brigitte in Clementine and Chloe in Tonal Grey.
Q: What is the most challenging part of the design process?
A: I would have to say color is the most challenging part for me. I have a natural desire to place complementary colors side by side because this creates so much visual punch. However, I have learned this can create printing issues on fabric so I have had to learn to work around this.
Q: What are your favorite and least favorite colors and why?
A: My favorite color for quite awhile has been vermillion (bright orangey red). In terms of colors I don't like, that is tough, color is just so wonderful! However if I had to choose I would go with dusty rose. I'm not a huge fan of 80's music either so maybe it's guilty by association.
Now that you have gotten a closer look at High Street, we bet you are itching to sew something with it! Lucky for you, we are giving away a prize pack to one lucky reader! Comment below letting us know what you would make with High Street for a chance to win a Layer Cake and High Street Quilt Pattern by Lily Ashbury.
UPDATE! Our winner has been chosen! Congratulations to Susan, who said "What a delightful interview. I'd love to win, a zig zag quilt in the orange, plum, pinks is in my future." You have been emailed! Thanks for playing, everyone!

Buildings & Grounds
Unlawful Use of Drugs and Alcohol
The Drug-Free Schools and Communities Act Amendments of 1989 (Public Law No. 101-226) require colleges and universities to adopt a program to prevent the use of illicit drugs and the abuse of alcohol by students and employees. The College's failure to comply with the provisions in the Act would result in the immediate loss of our eligibility to receive all federal fundings and could require repayment, in full or in part, of any federal financial assistance previously awarded.
All Colleges and universities must give notice to each student and employee that unlawful use of drugs and alcohol is prohibited, describe applicable legal sanctions and health risks, list counseling programs available, and advise students and employees that violation of this policy could lead to penalties up to and including expulsion from the College, termination of employment, and/or referral to civil authorities for prosecution.
The College is committed to maintaining a campus and workplace environment where members may live, learn, and work free of the deteriorating effects of drug and alcohol abuse. To this end the College carries out drug and alcohol abuse education and prevention programs.
Policy Requirements
The unlawful possession, use or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol by faculty, staff, or students on College property or as part of any of its activities is absolutely prohibited.
Legal Sanctions
More detailed descriptions of applicable local, state or federal laws for the unlawful possession or distribution of illicit drugs and alcohol are on reserve in the College Library. Some legal sanctions that could be imposed include:
Consumption of alcohol by a minor: up to a $700 fine/up to 90 days in jail
Illegal sale of alcohol: up to a $3,000 fine/up to 1 year in jail
Possession of a small amount of marijuana: up to a $700 fine/up to 90 days in jail
Sale or possession of controlled substances, such as cocaine, hallucinogens, marijuana, etc.: up to a $1,000,000 fine/up to 30 years in jail
College Consequences
Any faculty, staff, or student found in violation of this policy will be subject to disciplinary actions by the College up to and including expulsion from the College, termination of employment, and/or referral to civil authorities for criminal prosecution. The College may also require participation in an appropriate drug or alcohol assistance or rehabilitation program.
Risks to Life and Health
Abuse of drugs and alcohol leads to impaired behavior and judgment, a jeopardizing of relationships, and the likelihood of deteriorated work performance. Associated health risks include increased risk of accidental injury or death, depression, suicide, brain damage, heart and respiratory failure, liver damage, and sexually transmitted disease due to impaired sexual decisions.
Counseling, Treatment and Rehabilitation
Drug or alcohol counseling, treatment and rehabilitation/re-entry programs for faculty, staff, and students are available from a variety of sources. Anyone who recognizes a personal drug or alcohol problem, is concerned about another student or co-worker, or who may wish to know more about drug and alcohol abuse may contact:

Hey y'all! We interrupt our Dear Santa series to bring you this very important blog message from a lady we've been "clubbing" with for several years now! We love Darlene Zimmerman's Clothesline Club because each month members receive a completely cute, doable project, with a color-illustrated pattern and a newsletter & recipe from Darlene.
Each project is kitted with her adorable '30s repro prints (2010 will start with her The Three Bears line for Robert Kaufman Fabrics -- see some of the projects for the coming months below). Now she needs your help! Give your feedback about her future projects, and one comment will win a Three Bears Fat Quarter Bundle & Charm Pack, generously donated by Robert Kaufman!
Greetings Clothesline Club fans!
I'm writing to you today from my very messy studio. Fabrics are stacked everywhere and my head is spinning! I would like your help in planning projects and topics for the newsletters for the upcoming two years (yep--I'm working on fabrics and projects for 2011).
How can you help? Please share with me what have been your favorite projects from Clothesline Club in the past and which new projects you'd like to see. Also, have you enjoyed the newsletters? I'd love to hear your suggestions for new topics for future newsletters. Have you tried any of the recipes? Would you like more recipes in the future?
Most of the time, when I'm not out teaching and lecturing somewhere, I'm at home working in my studio (sweatshop). I often feel very isolated from you, my friends, so please share your ideas for new projects and topics! I look forward to hearing from you.

I like to have quick easy projects for the busy months, like December and harder projects for months like January when I have more time.

I love all the great prints in the 30's lines~ and love making things for all over the house, not just the bedrooms & kitchen. And quick, easy but yummy recipes are always a plus. ;-)

Darlenes projects are great but how about some decorative kitchen towels, some hand towels for the restroom and maybe some nostalic wall hangings for the laundry room.
- December 17, 2009 at 6:06 PM
- Jenny said...
Id love to see more projects with larger spaces showcasing all these terrific 30s fabric!

I have little girls, so magic, princesses, and kisses are rampant in our house. I need quick projects for things that are more than just doll blankets, like "magic carpets" and "secret keepers" (I imagine that as a doll, pillow, or blanket you could whisper secrets and wishes into or under for safe keeping) Also things you can cuddle under and read a book with, either by yourself or with your best friend/sister!!
- December 17, 2009 at 6:40 PM
I have enjoyed being a part of this club for two years. These are my favorite fabrics. I especially enjoy the newsletters and look forward to them every month. I'd enjoy seeing more projects for the kitchen such as more teapot cozies or pot holders,etc. The little apron hand towel was the cutest! One day I want to make a queen size quilt from your patterns and fabrics.
- December 17, 2009 at 6:54 PM
I like the table items but my favorite are the baby quilts. I usually make very brightly colored quilts and it's hard for me to plan a softer colored baby quilt but now I don't have to because I get them in the mail! These projects are "finishable".

I love the 1930's history, music and fabric! These projects are absolutely delightful!The newletter is well done and easy to read. I wouldn't change a thing, just please keep them coming!
- December 17, 2009 at 7:34 PM

I have not participated in this club but I have seen the projects. They are delightful. I enjoy the smaller projects like pincushions, potholders and placemats. Especially items I can give away as gifts.
- December 17, 2009 at 8:02 PM
- Robyn *Ü* said...
I love that quilt pictured on the little girls bed. That is something I'd love to do. Something else I noticed with this line is that I really like the greens. Often I don't like the greens in reproduction fabrics because they're either washed out or electric. These look very nice.
- December 17, 2009 at 8:08 PM
Loved your club projects. Smaller items were my favorite and kitchen things.
- December 17, 2009 at 9:07 PM
- Mary on Lake Pulaski said...
I think more pillow projects would be great in the next two years. Pillows are such a nice size project, can be used in multiple rooms and are great for gifts too!

The 3 Bears fabric is new to me, but i like it and think I'd love working with the fabrics. I always like the recipes and think it's a plus. Thanks for the chance to win 3 Bears.

- MyCreativityCoach said...
Darlene's fabrics are just adorable. '30's repro's are my favorite of all fabrics and Darlene's are the best of all the lines out there. I especially adore the variation of her childlike themes with animals and toys. I definetely enjoy reading the historical aspects. I would like to know where you get your inspiration and ideas for your fabric lines. Do you have favorite websites or people that you interview? What is your next line of fabric? and when will it be out? Can't wait to see the next line!!
- December 18, 2009 at 1:41 AM
- Kim said...
Darlene's fabric line is beautiful. I recently started quilting again so I am not familiar with the club projects. I love to make wallhangings or small quilts and accessories for the home.
- December 18, 2009 at 2:53 AM
- Danielle said...
I am new to your fabrics, but they are adorable and most definitely ones I would use in my ornament and pillow making. Since you have the Three Bears fabric coming out, maybe you could stay with other fables and nursery rhymes for other fabric ideas?
- December 18, 2009 at 5:39 AM
- luvtoquilt said...
I love 30's prints and especially Darlene's. I have two little granddaughters, and this fabric makes the cutest projects -- keep them coming!

I loved this club, I love the projects,and I cannot wait till I can join again...sad to miss out on the three bears, those were some of the projects I was looking forward to!

- Dixie said...
I love your kits...They are fun to make and quick...I always have a kit going while I am making a large timely quilt..I like the kitchen aprons, tablecovers, placemats...Love your Christmas quilt...I could make more pillows...Keep them coming...
- December 18, 2009 at 10:36 AM
- Robin (rsislandcrafts) said...
I have not been part of this club but I love the fabrics. I like how the patterns change from quick to a bit more time consuming each month. Place-mats and coasters are always fun.
- December 18, 2009 at 10:55 AM
- Haws Family said...
I have not been a member of the club, but I am in love with the new line! I love small projects that I can make for my kids, and these fabrics are so charming! I can imagine lots of little retro doll clothes, or soft baby toys. I hope you include projects for kids in your club... These fabrics seem perfect for that!
- December 18, 2009 at 12:37 PM
- Lizziebeth said...
My favorite is 30's fabric. I would love to win Darlene's fat quarter pack! I would probably make something with stars.
- December 18, 2009 at 1:10 PM
- Quilt Hollow said...
Honestly...don't really know much about the clothesline club but can say I've made a few of her small patterns using 30's prints in the past.
It seems each designer has their own niche of what they would like to share and it seems to be getting harder and harder to "reel" us in because so much is offered FREE now on the web and through blogs. It really needs to be GOOD to catch our eye and naturally with recession a fair price to pay.
To find topics and filler is a challenge for sure. Recipes are just filler/space killer...unless it is something relatively easy so we can spend more time quilting. Hee! Then you've always got the tips & tricks filler that we find in just about every magazine these days. I would suggest a minature mystery quilt, possibly some stitchery with quilting...quick and easy projects are ALWAYS a plus especially with so many quilt guilds looking for boutique items and then quilter's wanting teacher, neighbor and whoever else qifts. This year we've been put through the rick rack thing...I don't think that has died down just yet so incorporating some other embellishment ideas? Besides using the fabric just for quilting, why not show some other fun uses such as deco boxes, home decor items? How about a mini challenge using the new lines of fabric? Something fresh and exciting is a must.
- December 18, 2009 at 1:20 PM
- momid5 said...
I too like smaller projects so how about stuffed toys...a cow..or long horn steer...,Teddy bears of course..all sizes..from pincushion to pajama bag pillow;
and dinos...Maybe yellow and turquoise?
as far as cooking..slow cooker or serves just two..hubby and me :>)
thanks for such fun fabrics!!
- December 18, 2009 at 1:37 PM
- tong said...
I love all the quilt kits she puts together. The baby quilts are so cute with her adorable fabrics. Smaller projects would be nice too. Maybe set of something that would go together with previous month's project, for example, a baby doll and a doll quilt/pillow set. That would be super cute!
- December 18, 2009 at 1:58 PM
- hypertude said...
I really love Darlene's fabrics because they remind me of the early sixties and spending the night with my grandma. I feel as though just by looking at those wonderful designs that I can actually smell my grandma's old quilts that had hung outside on the cothes line. Thanks you for bringing those precious memories back!
- December 18, 2009 at 2:25 PM
I am in the process of "learning" about all that is involved in fabrics. What a beautiful medium.
I am not familiar with Darlene and her work but find these pictures attratctive. I think tutorials would be good to have and smaller projects would be nice. I look forward to following Darlene's works and hopefully trying and completing a new project. Merry Christmas to all.
Thank you for this opportunity,
- December 18, 2009 at 3:36 PM
- Dee said...
It is always good to have new ideas for gift giving - placemats, pin cushions - But also love a good 30's quilt. Love the idea of a 30's mystery project, one that would work from a table topper size to queen size. Thank you for the opportunity Darlene - and I must say, you are one of the best teachers we have had at our quild in Mankato.
- December 18, 2009 at 5:06 PM
- claudetta henderson said...
I love all the projects that I have received in the club, especially the baby quilts. I give baby quilts as shower gifts. I also like anything from table runners to bed size quilts
- December 19, 2009 at 5:01 PM
- Barb said...
I really like smaller projects that are completed faster - so the reversible placemats sound great to me. Tried to find a completed projects page, but was not successful. Maybe you have (or want to create?) a Flickr or other group that shows them? It always is inspiring to see other quilt enthusiasts' finished projects, maybe even in different fabric lines than originally distributed. Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Wow how did I miss that club?? I LOVE 30's repros and am in a BOM at a LQS using all 30's repros. I can't comment on the projects, because I obviously haven't made any, but I love the last quilt pictured here. Would love to know the pattern name!~

I love Darlene's fabrics. What I make the most are baby quilts. I love to do the trip around the world pattern.
- December 21, 2009 at 2:36 PM

Love all your 30's fabrics- in fact I am making a quilt with lots of them in it.
- December 22, 2009 at 10:24 AM
- Momtomanda said...
I love all the 30's prints. They make great baby and kid quilts and they also work wonderfully as placemats and tablerunners. They also work great with white borders or sashing. Please continue this beautiful line.
- December 22, 2009 at 1:52 PM
I love the Clothesline club I have been in it for 2 years I beleive!! I have to say I love the baby quilts, and aprons. The young mom's today seem to really enjoy the 30's baby quilts at least the ones I given to. I know that all the aprons are loved and wanted here in CA. I would love to see more of them both. I love the newsletter, I would love to see more tips from you! You seem to have some short cuts and I love those. I hope I posted to the right place! Thank you so much for having the clothesline club. I would always love more of your fabric line!!!! Merry Christmas.Sheri W

Start-and-stop degree flexibility
We know attending college as an adult or a military member is more complicated.
If you're like most of our adult students, you are juggling work and family commitments. That's why our curriculum is tailored to meet your busy lifestyle.
At Columbia College-Fort Sill, you attend college at your own pace. If you want to attend classes only one session a year or all six sessions, that's up to you. Or, if you get deployed, you can take online classes. We're flexible because we know that there are certain times in your life when you are busier than others at work or at home.
We do not require that you work in lockstep with a group or cohort of other students.
Columbia College-Fort Sill prides itself on giving you the convenience and flexibility you need to be a successful adult learner.

Your location: National Communications > Multilateral
The UNFCCC reporting and review guidelines state that Annex II Parties shall provide any information on any financial resources provided related to the implementation of the Convention. The guidelines indicate that Annex II Parties should use table 4 of Section VIII of part II of the guidelines to communicate information on financial contributions through multilateral channels.
The information presented in the multilateral section of the module has been extracted from fourth, fifth and sixth national communication reports of Parties that reported information in a format that was possible to extract. In communicating this information, some Parties have included information in reference to specific contributions related to the implementation of the Convention.
The following terms have been used in this section:
Party - Annex II Parties to the United Nations Convention on Climate Change
Currency - Parties have provided information in different currencies. When selecting the currency it is possible to see contributions as they were reported in a particular currency. Only contributions by Parties reporting in the same currency are aggregated.
Institution - Reported Party contribution to multilateral institutions and programmes listed under the heading of institutions, as reported by Parties.

Answers by Expert:
DO NOT GIVE ME INFORMATION THAT YOU WANT KEPT CONFIDENTIAL. I am an attorney and I volunteer time to answer general questions about U.S. Federal income tax issues of nonprofit 501(c)(3) public charities only. Those questions could be about establishing and maintaining legal requirements for such non-profit organizations in the United States, including Internal Revenue service filings and requirements. I will not be working on this free forum to answer questions about Nonprofit's possible unrelated or for-profit businesses or how to fill out forms. This forum is only for general questions about federal tax law, not as the law applies to your specific situation. If you do not make your question public then I will not be spending much of my donated time on answers that would not benefit the public. If you have other questions, please contact me at email@example.com I will reply from my email. In any case, do not reveal confidential information to me until after I have contracted with you to provide personal legal services. My responses on this forum are intended to be general statements of law, should not be relied upon as legal advice, and do not create an attorney/client relationship. For me to consider your individual situation and how the law applies, I would need to gather extensive information about the situation. To search my previous answers you can do a Google search by "site:allexperts.com/q/nonprofit" without the quotes and then add your search terms before hitting enter.
I have been practicing law and especially the law of nonprofit organizations since 1990 when I was admitted to the New York Bar and I have maintained my status with the Bar since that time.
