Canadian Geoquilt///Clarification

[+300mag]

Just as they are no confusion The way this will work. The cachers will be putting a cache especially for the quilt project.The finders will like usual when finding the cache sign the log book. In the log book the cacher will have also have writen the return address for the quilt pieces.After signing the log book you can retreive a piece of the quilt that you will take home with you. There you can sign your piece and mail it back to the quilt address that was in the log book. So bring a piece of paper with you. When signing your quilt piece try using a BLACK FINE LINE PERMANENT FABRIC PEN. These work best and will not bleed all over your piece or others TKS 300 mag/ Cliffy and DX Challenged ........................................................................................ Me and Cliffy where contacted by Dx Challenge for the making of a new Dx Challenge Quilt project. This quilt would be the Canadian version. We are looking for as many cities/regions as possible.It would be great to have a coast to coast effort. We need cachers to place a cache with the quilt pieces in it.(We will send you the quilt packs for your area). The area cachers will go to the site cache get there piece signed and simply send it back to me or Cliffy at the address sent with the quilt packs. When all the quilt pieces will be ready we will send them off. There will be a time limit for this. You can message me with your address and the packs will be sent out for your area. More updates to come soon.

Excellent idea. I'm sorry I missed out the original, but you definitely count me in on this one. Address is on the way.

 

Thanks 300mag and Cliffy facilitating this.

 

[+300mag]

Got it Mr Gigabite Tks.

The geoquilt project caches will be linked to DX Challenge since she is the originator of the project.You will be placing a cache for her.All caches/logs will be noted to you and her.To be confirmed by Jeremy. This will also be like a electronic signature Quilt.

I used the geocaching.com e-mail service and sent you my addy. Feel free to e-mail me. I don't know how much interest it will generate in good ole Newfoundland, but i'm willing to give it a shot. Sounds like a cool idea. I found out about the original too late to contribute :frown:, so for this one I think I might submit one of my sticker designs that I made up after finishing a test in math class back a while ago. We'll have to wait and see how it goes. :razz:

Hey! The quilt is forming even as I type this!!

 

I cut all the triangles yesterday......over 500 and started sewing....It was snowing here so I way prefered staying home.

 

This quilt will be predominately red and cream color. I want it to relate to the Canadian flag. At the rate I'm going I should have all the squares done in a week or so....then I'll come out to Canada to do some caching and hand off the squares.

 

Each square is made of 1 red and 1 cream color triangle. Signatures can go on the cream side. Assembled it will look something like a radiating red leaf.......with a zigzag border........

 

Thanks 300mag for getting this "off the ground" for me. It will be great to focus just on the quilt and have sherpas take care of placement and delivery.........

 

It's going to be GREAT!!

You can't have everything.

where would you put it?

[+300mag]

TKS DX for the Quilt info this looks like it is going to be really nice. Something like the world cup (hockey) jersey's lol. I am happy to see it's starting to pick up. Don't worry TJ about the interest. I am sure everyone will want to sign the quilt. I know I will.

[+cliffy]

Absolutely Debb!!! Sounds like this quilt is going to look amazing! Judging by how great the original quilt turned out I'm sure this one will be just as spectacular! I consider myself fortunate to have been part of the initial quilt project and am sure many who didn't get to participate will certainly jump on this chance

P.S. Debb, sorry about not responding to your earlier E-mail.....I've had so much on the go around here lately that I've been somewhat delinquent concerning my overflowing inbox.

 

Cheers, cliffy

Hang in there TJ!! We definetly need a contribution from the "rock" It'll only be a matter of time before geocaching takes off in a big way out there. I can remember exactly a year ago here in Ottawa...... There was a mere 2 caches (300Mag's being one of them) In a year it's exploded!! Not sure how many we have now (any idea 300Mag??) but once it catches on it snowballs )))))

[+300mag]

Time flies when your having fun I also remember when the caches where very few in the Ottawa area. Now we are up to 121 in a 100mile radius today.But not for long I have a few coming up soon

[+Happy Together]

Regina, Saskatchewan -- things are a little quiet out here on the prairies, but we're close to the trans-Canada highway, and assuming winter ever gives up (we've had more snows in March and April then we did in January and February), we should be able to generate some interest out this way...

[+DxChallenged]

Hey! I can feel this project snowballing...and the snow just melted here.

 

So far I have about 75 squares done. They have to be cut (I'm trying to make no 2 squares the same but with 256 it may be tough), sized so that they are exactly 3" square, ironed on to freezer paper so that you can write on them and so that the edges don't fray and then I draw a 1/4 line from the edge so people leave me room for a seam allowance....

 

My plans with this quilt are a bit different from the last as I learned a few things.

 

1.It will really help to have Cliffy and 300mag help with distribution...I can just sew

2. I want to restrict this quilt to one country. It was hard to get blocks back in a timely fashion from many distant lands.

3. I would like to see if I can get a greater % of blocks signed....

4. Give the quilt to a cacher who participated in getting the blocks signed...

 

So from all the mail labels of the people who placed, got signed and returned the blocks...one will be drawn (I'de like to have my husband do this as he never squawks at the money I spend on quiltting supplies). That person gets the quilt.

 

I also thought that I would use some of the left over blocks and make something for Cliffy and 300mag...maybe a quilted pillow case that could be signed.....for helping wiht the distribution and to aide in paying for the mailers.

 

So those are my ideas....and I'm really liking all the locations that are getting involved!! Maybe someone could post a map with points where the caches will be

 

Oh Yeah...I'de like to drive over and hand off the quilt squares. Maybe the 3rd or 4th weekend of this month?? Meeting up with other cachers this way really makes my day! The family met up with a cache owner in Erie PA to start a quilt project that I have going there. The best part of that meting was from what the cacher said about the first geoquilt, my husband and kids were visibly proud of their mom... they range in age from just older than me to 10 so that is something I don't usually get from the entire group!

 

Thanks for letting me be a part of another project that I can be proud of!!

Uh I couldn't be in the picture cause I took it.......Yeah that's the answere.......

 

Hoping to have the blocks done in another week..maybe sooner......but the weather is just right for caching now!!

 

There are a variety of reds.....from cowboy boots with sparkels to paisely red pickel......I think that I have found over 40 different pieces of red fabric!! And an equal number of different cream colors.

Holy crap Cliffy... Is that one of your patented camo caches under the table in the second pic. That blue domed thingy.

 

If it is, I want the plans for building that thing. Did you use expanding foam then hollow it out?

 

 

[+DxChallenged]

Hey! I didn't realize until I saw the picture posted that the blue igloo got into the picture.

 

It's a pom. home. Our dog was very little when we got her so I sewed it together for her so she could get away from all the biggness around her......I also made one out of polar fleece for the breeders pup....When mixed with static electricity it makes a pomeranian look like a fine needled porcupine......

 

You can actually take the top off...kids do this and poke there heads out the opening ... makes them look like turtles!

 

Hey! How about a camo igloo for caching!

You are Canadians

Here's the Quilt locations

So far we have cachers participating in:

 

N Vancouver BC

Sherwood Park Alberta

Other regions / Provinces are welcomed it would be great to fill in the missing provinces Thanks Keep on caching

We are missing cachers in NW Territory, Manitoba,Quebec,New Brunswick,Nova Scotia to have all of our country covered.

[+reastick]

I can step up for Calgary if it isn't too late.

[+DxChallenged]

Hey reastick,

 

Glad to see a cacher from your area!

 

You're not too late at all!! I still haven't finished all the blocks although I sewed on and off most of yesterday. Around here it rained all day. It would have been great for fishermen as the earthworms were fooded out and in full force on the sidewalks....the first person to our Akron Bike Path Cache had to dance around them all on the way into the cache.

 

Right now I have all the triangles and the individual blocks sewn together. NOw I need to trim each one and draw lines where the seam allowances will go. Husband is suggesting the last weekend in April for handing over the blocks. I thought that it would be great to drive to Ottowa to give them to Cliffy. I've heard that Ottowa is beautiful so we plan on leaving enough time to site see/cache before we return to the Buffalo area.

 

We might as well start talking about the signature part. For the geoquilt I included a permanent fabric pen with each packet...but several people used their own...or signed with other things.........

 

Signatures were...

*Caching names with date and area cache is from

*Caching critters names with drawn paw print or picture of said animal stamped (Foo is in a corner

*illustrated with drawn pictures (a boy scout troop did great with this).

*ironed on with transfere paper (may not wash well)

* stamped on (I'm hoping that was with permanent ink)

*highlighted with a wide tipped pen (this leaked all over the block and I used a gold pen to outline it and hide the "bleed")

 

So my question is...Do you want to stay with one color for the signatures or let everyone sign as they want........If the quilt is to be a wall hanging this won't be a problem but if it is used to as a quilt signatures may get lost in the wash...

 

Any suggestions for signatures?

Any sites we should see in Ottawa?

Actually, I missed the first geoquilt. How is this supposed to work? Do people sign the quilt at the cache? Do they take pieces, work magic, and then return them?

 

I think I've just about elucidated what happens from these posts, but this part still eludes me.

[+300mag]

The other quilt was a bit different we had to sign the piece at the cache. This one you will be able to go to the cache log your visit and bring home a piece with you. There you will be able to sign it. Afterwards you will simply mail back to me your quilt piece. When the pieces will be back they will be shipped out to DX and from there she will create the Canadian Quilt . The return address will be sent to the cache owner.You will get it in the caches log book.

For the first quilt, we received a batch of squares from DxChallenged. Several of the local area cachers met at a Tim Horton's to sign them. They were then sent back to DxChallenged.

 

That was quite some time ago when there weren't nearly as many cachers as there are now. We've got a couple of event caches coming up soon so perhaps you could bring the squares with you for people to sign then.

 

By the way DxChallenged, I saw the pictures you posted of the first quilt and I could even find my own square! You did a fantastic job!

[+DxChallenged]

Hey napgravy........

 

Thanks for the compliment

 

But I honestly think that this one will be even better........I just finished sewing all the squares last night and now have to size and mark them.......

 

I like the new twists in this one ...having nice people like 300mag and cliffy help me with it...personally dropping off the squares...really looking forward to going to Ottowa....giving the quilt to a cacher involved in the project...and now I have a better digital camera to people can zoom in and find their squares even easier....plus the quilt is a bit more difficult ...I like a challenge!!

 

Stay tuned

Hi again Debb,

I concurr with napgravy on how well the other quilt turned out! It was awesome.... Also great to hear you post napgravy! He's our most decorated cacher up here in Canada...Great job napgravy! Yup, 300Mag and I have further discussed issues as to better communicate with everyone up here and have found a simple cheap sneaky way to do so....hehehe shhhhhhhh! The pieces will flow with ease As for what to see here in Ottawa Debb, it's an overload situation!...There is SOOOOO much to see here between at least 4-5 National Museums, Gatineau Park, Rideau Canal, Scenic historic places galore.......I'm simply at a loss..... But I'd be delighted (as would 300Mag) to take and guide you to as many sights as time will permit Heck maybe even for a beer and a "beaver tail".....Although that delicacy might be hard to find come the end of April.....lol

That's true......Back then cachers were few and far between... I took a chance and actually hid them in a cache. With a bit of luck and an easy hiding spot managed to get 11 of 12 signed after the snow fell (one went mysteriously missing.......OK WHO SCREWED UP their spelling and tossed the square?...stomp stomp)

But that aside hehe, we are a much larger number up here now (especially after Christmas and all those new Garmins and Magellans under the tree!)......and yes (Lowrance's too 300Mag) E-mail me or 300Mag! Let your name go down in quilt history or be forgotten forever lol(wink).....

Cheers, cliffy

 

-----------------------------------------------------------

 

 

"Whad'ya mean you didn't save the location of the truck?..EEEK!!!..."

[+DxChallenged]

Well I've been meaning to do this for a while but of late I've had many reports to do....Those are done and I'm taking a break!!

 

So I thought that I would outline some quilt project stuff, bounce it around and see what everyone thinks........

 

1. Block packets. The pattern that I've chosen takes 256 blocks. So this number needs to be devided up and given out. I did this in padded mailers (just after 9/11 with the first project so I made sure post office was ok with everything..I think that we have a postal worker on board again), placed the blocks in ziplock bags with the instructions and a fabric pen. Does everyone want to get their own pen this time? I bought a good one to give to Cliffy and 300mag when I meet up with them....as an example.

 

2.Who should sign the blocks? On the first project I limited this to just geocachers and their pets. I didn't even allow my in-laws to sign as they had never cached with us...my parents did so they got a square. It is possible, if your family or caching group is large enough, that you could just get together and sign at once. But I still like the idea of only cachers & caching critters (pets had some of the best squares) signing......Heck if anyone else wants to it just takes one cache trip to qualify....

 

3. Ways to get blocks signed........These are some of the ways that blocks were signed with the first project....

a. Cache event (was a cool scuba caching event in CA)

b. Front Porch Cache....hey I love meeting fellow cachers and I thought this was a novel way to get the blocks signed...the lady even provided brownies.

c. Caching group mass signing...a boy scout troop did this. They have a couple of caches in Rochester and when I found one I notified them of my quilt project...so the den got together, requested blocks and signed during a meeting....great art work from them...even aliens.....

d. Cache Dash....One lady put a time limit on signing the blocks...people were literally escorted out of the park by policemen as they came after hours to get a block signed. I had several people e-mail me after that pleading for their own block as by the time they got to the cache it was gone (pulled once all the blocks were signed).

e. Typical cache placement....I had blocks in my 2 caches and actually had a few requests from people who wanted to place them in their own.

f. SASE with note....One guy in Washington lost all 12 blocks then asked for more...(of course I sent them to him) he ended up making a magnent with our names and the cache project on it...people who signed a block got a magnent...they took these home in the envelope he provided with my address. They signed and several wrote me a personal note...that was fun...

 

4. Dealine....Once I got the blocks out with the original geoquilt...it took another 3 months to get them all signed......I did not establish a dealine at the beginning of the project so some were returned right away and some, even after I moved the dealine 2-3 times, came in after the quilt was done (I have blocks from the UK still).

So how about a deadline of the end of July..7/31?

 

5. Giveaway...I really want to give this quilt to one of you guys...Originally I said that a name would be selected from those who mailed the blocks back to me......but if Cliffy and 300mag are the only ones mailing them back to me...my pool would be of 2...which I'm sure is ok with Cliffy and 300mag....but how about a pool from the people that signed up on this forum to place the blocks...what are we up to 10?

 

How does all this sound?

 

Cliffy...

Beaver tail.....I had Buffalo when I lived in South Dakota...but I don't think that will even come close...But I can't wait for the trip!! And meeting up with you both....

Cliffy and 300 mag are probably the best two to divide up how many blocks go to each area. Shouldn’t be hard if they go by the dispersal pattern of caches throughout the country. It would be especially nice if we can cover every province and territory. Summer being here soon should make it prime time to get signatures.

I’m definitely for limiting signatures to Geocachers as well.

Your idea for getting blocks signed sounds like a lot of fun too.

Seeing as there are quite a few cachers in my area, a cache event sounds great. I also think placing blocks in a cache for a couple of weeks in more remote locations would allow those in less populated areas time to sign.

I spend a lot of time north of the southern urban areas in Ontario every summer. It would be nothing for me to plant a cache with blocks in it further north for others to sign.

 

I also like the suggestion of a draw for those who volunteered to get the blocks signed to receive the quilt (biased – ha ha). Seriously, ten people are hardly enough to cover the country lest it take a long time to get signatures. Taking a quick look at the entire country, I’d guesstimate we need at least 40 people divided up based on the area of the province they reside in. The blocks would have to be divided further based on the number of caches in that area. I’d volunteer for helping out on how to do this (maybe that’ll mean I can put my name in the draw twice!).

 

Anyhow – sounds exciting no matter what’s decided. Thanks again for doing the real labour!

Hey........I still like the idea of posting a map of Canada with the locations of the cachers who are participating.........I have a tough time visualizing geographical locations (hey I really am directionally challenged....). My daughter is studying your country in her history class so I thought that I would copy one of her maps......but it would be cool to somehow link a map here or have a central...electric quilt link (as per 300mags idea) with a map that could be updated.........

 

Beauty of a day here........almost too warm.....naw never.......atthe very least the heat will ward off snow!!

Hey MajBach! That's great! (I'm totally HTML illiterate) What would be really neat is to keep that map updated and if possible tack a different coloured tack into the caches involved with the quilt.

Vancouver Bc,Campbell river Bc, Calgary Alb,Sherwood park Alb,Edmonton Alb, Regina Sask, Winnipeg Man, Ottawa/Oshawa/Toronto/Puslinch Ont, Gander/Labrador NFLD, Bathurst NB So this makes it up to 7 provinces so far. Where missing Yukon(but migh be getting a reply soon) NW territorries,Quebec,Nova Scotia.

Hopefully we'll get cacher's in these other provinces to fill in the gap

Hey, I'm happy to keep that map updated. I don't think keeping the caches updated is to important, but I'll do it for reference anyway. I'll also try seeing if I can update the file such that the map above constantly updates, instead of constanly posting and updated map. Actually, why don't I start a new thread just for the map and we can keep this thread running.

 

I've put the names of the volunteers on the new map and changed the colours of the caches themselves for contrast. If people want to give me their names, I'll update under the city. We can comment on how to divvy up the blocks as the map progresses on the new thread.

 

 

MajBach

Nice job Majbach

As we get the coordonates for the quilt caches you can post them on the map as reference.

A easy way to name the cache would be by it's area.ie:Ottawa quilt cache,Toronto quilt cache etc this would situate you instantly. Cachers what do you think about this?

 

[+DxChallenged]

Hey! The blocks are all completed. I will count them today and put them in a zip lock.....

 

Do you want the exact number or a few extras?

 

I can always use less than needed and then the quilt is finshed with unsigned blocks that can be signed at a latter date....as it goes to caching events...ect...

 

What is more difficult is if I get too many signed blocks.....I suppose that I could put some of those on the back....but what cacher would like to be segregated to the back?

 

I also received a new quilt book yesterday and it has a section on signing blocks...pens to use...how to beef up your lettering so I'll send off a copy of those pages to Cliffy and 300mag...I also have a book on using photo transfere paper....I'll copy some of that for those of you that want elaborate signatures........

 

Can't wait to meet up with my Canadian cacher friends, hand off the blocks and tour Ottowa!!

I went ahead and emailed several geocachers from various areas where we need volunteers - Yukon, NWT (what's it called now?), N.B, N.S., P.E.I. & N. Alberta. I think it would really be awesome if we got signatures from every province. Interestingly, all the caches in the Yukon and N.W.T. belong to people who have not found any caches, but have only placed them. None of the caches up there, except maybe one, have any logged visits either. Maybe we should send one square to Yellowknife and one to Whitehorse and hope someone will set up an easy urban cache to allow those cachers in the area to sign it.

Same goes for P.E.I.

I imagnine we won't have any problems getting volunteers for the other maritime provinces and remote areas.

majbach....sounds like a great idea to me! I really like how this is all shaping up!!

 

I've finished all the blocks, I'm wrapping them in packs of 10 (ok maybe too much time on my hands

but the kids were all out with friends so I filled in the spaces with working on this).

 

Thanks again for the map...can't wait to get the blocks in the "field"

Hi Majbach

I have also sent messages to cachers in these area's . Hopefully we wont get 842 replies ... I wouldn't want to refuse anyone. So far the caches are pretty spread out. This is good no sense having all the cache in the same area. I am waiting for a few reply's before jumping on the pc and sending everyone a message. If I see there's no reply for the other region's we'll call the cavalry lol.
