Care of Quilts-Cleaning

Quilts need special care in cleaning, but even professionals don\u27t always agree on the best methods for cleaning quilts or even whether it should be done. No two quilts are alike. Methods suited for cleaning one quilt may not be best for another. The fiber content, dyes, and construction make each one unique. Sometimes it may be advisable to clean a quilt. Usually it is best to leave it as is. Deciding whether to clean a quilt involves careful thought. What is the fiber content? How is the quilt constructed? Can it withstand movement or agitation? Will the colors bleed or fade? How valuable is it to you? How will you feel if it is damaged by your choice of cleaning method? Do you have the equipment and space to clean the quilt? Improper cleaning can permanently damage your quilt. Make your decision carefully. Very old, fragile, or valuable quilts should be cleaned by a professional textile conservator - not at home. Contact a local or area museum, university, or the American Institute for Conservation, 1717 K Street, NW, Suite 200, Washington, DC 20006, 202/452-9545 for names of professional conservators in your area. If you decide to attempt cleaning a sturdy quilt yourself, the following recommendations will serve as a useful guide

Klipsun Magazine, 2006, Volume 37, Issue 01 - September

I can still remember how eager I was to come to college my first quarter at Western four years ago. I don\u27t think I slept more than a few hours the night before. Not because I was scared, and not because I was nervous. It was because I couldn\u27t wait to explore life through the eyes of a college student. I didn\u27t believe people when they said it would go by fast. Four years seems like a long time to an 18- year-old. Well it isn\u27t. I can\u27t help but feel excited when I think that the stories in this issue of Klipsun might help others live life a little more fully during their time in Bellingham. Sneak a peak at Northwest culture in Hop- Head Nation. Learn how some locals use Bellingham\u27s natural structures as their own personal jungle-gyms in Hard-Rock Getaway or discover what those barefoot people balancing on an inch or so of rope at Boulevard Park are up to in Walk the Slack Line. If you can\u27t find a story that grabs your attention in the magazine, then I encourage you to peruse the selection online at klipsun.wwu.edu. There, you might find longboarding is the mode of transportation for you in Kick, Push and Coast. Or you might decide that the multimedia presentation of one writer\u27s experience in «l Skydiving with Doctor Death is an experience worth having. I\u27ve graduated now, and I have one piece of advice for you. Live your life with no regrets. Appreciate the now and don\u27t look back. I hope you find something that catches your attention in this issue. Thanks for reading.https://cedar.wwu.edu/klipsun_magazine/1238/thumbnail.jp

Witness: The Modern Writer as Witness

Editor\u27s Note [Excerpt] Magic can mean many different things, especially for writers. Magic can be an illusion, a sleight of hand designed to trick onlookers into believing the impossible. Or magic can be a supernatural force in a world of harsh reality, a set of beliefs that sits just outside the realms of organized religion and advanced technology. Wizards and demons, Las Vegas entertainers and houngans --they all practice a kind of sorcery. For poets and prose writers, though, magic affords an opportunity for us to stretch the limitations of the physical world in search of new themes, settings, and characters. Magic is a door we eagerly walk through to reach new lands. We at Witness have thoroughly enjoyed the process of selecting the themed works we have collected here, mainly because the idea of enchantment is inspiring. There is the possibility of positive charms; there is a chance for dark witchery. And sometimes the spell cast by a character is nebulous, difficult to categorize. It’s arguable that we cherish these incantations the most, since they leave us in a state of wonderment bordering on disorientation. Yes, magic can also leave us bewildered and thankful for the bewilderment.https://digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/witness/1001/thumbnail.jp

Witness: The Modern Writer as Witness

Editor\u27s Note [Excerpt] The United States, as a society, is on the brink of profound and positive change. Demographically and culturally, things are improving, and the reason is obvious to people who study history: Conflict pushes us to be better, to strive for principled goals. Consider the inspired eco-advocacy of Greta Thunberg. Or the swearing in of most diverse class of lawmakers in history into the 116th Congress. Or billionaire Robert F. Smith’s pledge to pay off every Morehouse College (in Atlanta, Georgia) student’s debt. Indeed, there are many good people helping and great moments happening in spite of a bleak 24-hour news cycle designed to ruin happiness and to limit our understanding of our human potential. We at Witness see this yearning for transformation in the works we selected. The doorway must be crossed, and the voices and characters we featured in our Winter 2019 issue stand at the vestibule, ready for the light to warm them, primed to fight for that necessary illumination.https://digitalscholarship.unlv.edu/witness/1000/thumbnail.jp
