.This information helps us to stay in touch with you and keep you up to date on both the panel and The Quilt.How your panel becomes part of The QuiltWhen a new panel arrives at our national headquarters in Atlanta, it is carefully logged and examined for durability.Some panels might require hemming to adjust for size; others may need reinforcement or minor repairs.Next, new panels are sorted—some grouped geographically by region, others by theme or appearance.When eight similar panels are collected, they are sewn together to form a twelve-foot square.This is the basic building block of The Quilt, and it is usually referred to as either a “12-by-12” or “Block.”Once sewn, each 12-by-12 is edged in canvas and given a unique number, its “Block Number,” which makes tracking the block possible.All panel, panel maker, and numerical information is then stored in our Quilt databases.Once this happens, you are sent information including which block the panel you submitted has been made a part of, how to request the block for displays of The Quilt, and a current display schedule.The entire process, from our receiving the panel to incorporating it into a 12-by-12 in The AIDS Memorial Quilt, typically takes between three and six months.Questions“The only dumb question is the question you have but never ask!” Email questions to: panels@aidsquilt.org or call Roddy Williams, Panel Maker Relations, or Gert McMullin, Production Manager, at 404.688.5500.For information on panel making workshops contact: Jada Harris at 404-688-5500 ext.228 or email jharris@aidsquilt.org.PANEL-MAKER PARTNER BUDDY SYSTEMThe NAMES Project Foundation is launching a new Panel-maker Partner buddy system that will pair volunteers with individuals wanting to make a panel for the Quilt.Creating a panel on your own might seem daunting but with the help of a partner the process is suddenly much more manageable.This is a way you can ensure that a friend or loved one lives on as part of this epic handmade memorial—the largest piece of community folk art in the world and one of our most powerful HIV prevention education tools.If you are interested, a member of The NAMES Project Staff will contact you for further information and to find out how you would like to share the process.(See www.aidsquilt.org/callmyname for a link to the form.)CALL MY NAME PROJECTCall My Name is a program designed to draw attention to a public health crisis by fostering the creation of new panels for The AIDS Memorial Quilt made by African Americans in honor of their friends, family, and community members who have died of AIDS.With the introduction of The AIDS Memorial Quilt, The NAMES Project redefined the tradition of quilt making in response to contemporary circumstances.Call My Name uses this model and through hands-on, panel-making activity brings people and communities together to remember loved ones, grieve, find support and strength, and engage in dialogues for change.Call My Name also enhances The NAMES Project’s ability to collect and display greater numbers of panels that reflect the epidemic’s impact within the African American community.As a result, Quilt prevention, education and awareness programs have greater capacity to deliver even more cultural relevance and provide poignant personal connections for African American men, women, and children who see it.(See http://www.aidsquilt.org/callmyname.)Want to learn more about authorChrista Allan and check out other greatfiction from Abingdon Press?Sign up for our fiction newsletter atwww.AbingdonPress.comto read interviews with your favorite authors, find tipsfor starting a reading group, and stay posted on whatnew titles are on the horizon.It’s a place to connectwith other fiction readers or post acomment about this book.Be sure to visit Christa online!www.christaallan.comWe hope you enjoyed Threads of Hope and that you will continue to read the Quilts of Love series of books from Abingdon Press.Here’s an excerpt from the next book in the series, Angela Breidenbach’s A Healing Heart.1Why in the world did I agree to do this?”Mara Keegan’s vision blurred as she stared at the old photo she’d picked from the box for the first block on Cadence’s memory quilt.David’s arm curled tightly around her pregnant waist, his other balanced a precocious three-year-old Cadence, and one-year-old Toby grinned up into his mommy’s eyes.Louie, the new family border collie/lab pup sat at their feet ready to catch Toby’s graham cracker.A smile stole across Mara’s lips.Louie nabbed that cracker and Toby wailed, right after the shutter clicked.But the picture captured the split-second happy moment forever.The perfect family with so much promise.A promise broken off prematurely by a whimsical God.Mara’s smile faded.She glanced over toward her sleeping fourteen-year-old dog curled up on one of his favorite oversized mutt mats.He’d been with their family since the early days.His black muzzle sported more white around his nose now
