INFLUENCE AND INSPIRATION: The Indianapolis Star Quilt Contests
In 1976, the Indianapolis Star newspaper and the William H. Block department store joined to promote the first of six successive quilt contests, the first broad-based quilt competition in the country during the bicentennial. For their initial contest, the Star revived their 1929 contest patterns by famed designer Ruby Short McKim of Independence, Missouri, but invited individual interpretation. Judges engaged to critique the shows encouraged this approach, contributing their own artistic influences. Participants responded with traditional replications \"like Grandma made.\" By the final contest, the Star invited participants to design creative, themed blocks, and the newspaper used the selected winners for the competition. Public displays of the Indianapolis Star's quilt contests excited public approbation, reshaping the view of quiltmaking fr om rigidly traditional to individually innovative. Over the ten years of the contests, competitors evolved fr om timidly replicating patterns to being accomplished and creative artists.

The Observation of Quilts and Other Trifles: Materials and Methods
Folklorists typically study quilts by interviewing living makers, asking questions about the patterns and processes, the most visible aspects. But quilts exist in multiple contexts and hold numerous meanings for the makers, recipients, and viewers. Instead of asking for answers, a more useful question would be \"What can you tell me about this quilt?\" KEYWORDS: quilts, women, method, history, research

Endoscopic-assisted repair of combined ventral hernias and diastasis recti: minimizing seroma incidence by quilting
BackgroundTo reduce the incidence of seromas, we have adapted the quilting procedure used in open abdominoplasty to the endoscopic-assisted repair of concomitant ventral hernia (VH) and diastasis recti (DR). The aim of this study was to describe the technique and assess its efficacy by comparing two groups of patients operated on with the same repair technique before and after introducing the quilting.MethodsThis retrospective study included data prospectively registered in the French Club Hernie database from 176 consecutive patients who underwent surgery for concomitant VH and DR via the double-layer suturing technique. Patients were categorized into two groups: Group 1 comprised 102 patients operated before introducing the quilting procedure and Group 2 comprised 74 operated after introducing the quilting. To carry out comparisons between groups, seromas were classified into two types: type A included spontaneously resorbable seromas and seromas drained by a single puncture and type B included seromas requiring two or more punctures and complicated cases requiring reoperation.ResultsThe global percentage of seromas was 24.4%. The percentage of seromas of any type was greater in Group 1 (27.5%) than in Group 2 (20.3%). The percentage of Type B seromas was greater in Group 1 (19.6%) than in Group 2 (5.4%), when the percentage of Type A seromas was greater in Group 2 (14.9) than in Group 1 (7.9%). Differences were significant (p = 0.014). The operation duration was longer in Group 2 (83.9 min) than in Group 1 (69.9 min). Four complications requiring reoperation were observed in Group 1: three persistent seromas requiring surgical drainage under general anesthesia and one encapsulated seroma.ConclusionAdapting the quilting technique to the endoscopic-assisted bilayer suturing technique for combined VH and DR repair can significantly reduce the incidence and severity of postoperative seromas.
