For other uses, see Cesare Battisti (disambiguation).
Cesare Battisti (born 18 December 1954) is an Italian criminal, former member of the Armed Proletarians for Communism (PAC), a far-left militant and terrorist group which committed acts of illegality and crimes in Italy in the late 1970s during the period known as the "Years of Lead". He was sentenced to life imprisonment in Italy for four homicides (two policemen, a jeweler and a butcher). He fled Italy first to France and then to Mexico before settling in Brazil where he lived as a free man until he was extradited in December of 2018. He is currently under arrest in Italy. He is also a fiction author, having written 15 novels.
Battisti was sentenced to 12 years for being a member of an armed group and for the material killing of two people and instigating another two homicides. He fled to France in 1981, where he received protection under the Mitterrand doctrine. Later, he was tried in absentia based on testimony in Pietro Mutti's trial implicating him in four murders, bringing the total number of charges against him to 36. He was sentenced to life in prison in 1995. After the de facto repeal of the Mitterrand doctrine in 2002, Battisti fled to Brazil under a false identity to avoid a possible extradition.
He was arrested in Rio de Janeiro on March 18, 2007 by Brazilian and French police officers. Later, the Brazilian Minister of Justice Tarso Genro granted him the status of political refugee, in a controversial decision which was much criticized in Italy, even though opinion was much more nuanced if not divided in Brazil and the international press. On 5 February 2009, the European Parliament adopted a resolution in support of Italy and held a minute of silence in memory to Battisti's victims. On 18 November 2009, the Brazilian Supreme Court considered the refugee status illegal and allowed extradition, but also stated that the Brazilian constitution gives the president personal powers to deny the extradition if he chooses to, effectively putting the final decision in the hands of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. On 31 December 2010, on Lula's last effective day as president, the decision not to allow extradition was officially announced.
Battisti was released on 9 June 2011 from prison after the Brazilian Constitutional Court denied Italy's request to extradite him. Italy plans to appeal to the International Court of Justice in The Hague. In March 2015 a federal judge ruled null and void the decision to grant him a permanency visa as it would conflict with Brazilian law, ordering his deportation. On 14 September, the sixth section of the Regional Federal Court of the First Region (seated in Brasília) declared the deportation of Battisti illegal. In December 2018, Brazilian President Michel Temer signed the order to extradite Battisti after the Brazilian Supreme Court ordered his arrest. He fled justice after this and escaped to Bolivia, where he was finally arrested on January 12, 2019. He was extradited to Italy the day after, where he is currently serving a sentence of life imprisonment.
Cesare Battisti was born in 1954 at Cisterna di Latina, near Latina. He left the classical lyceum he was attending in 1971, engaged in petty crime, and then moved on to more serious offenses.
In 1976, he moved to Milan, and took part in activities of the PAC, an autonomist Marxist group which conducted armed struggle, and which had a "horizontal", decentralized structure, opposed to the centralist organization of the Red Brigades (BR). The organization, which counted approximately 60 members, had its roots in Barona, a district in the south of Milan.
Four assassinations were committed by the PAC: Antonio Santoro, a prison guard accused by the PAC of mistreatment of prisoners (on June 6, 1978 in Udine); jeweler Pierluigi Torregiani, who had shot and killed a robber in an act of self-defense (on February 16, 1979 in Milan); Lino Sabbadin, a butcher and member of the neo-fascist Italian Social Movement (on the same date, near Mestre); and DIGOS agent Andrea Campagna, who had participated in the first arrests in the Torregiani case (on April 19, 1979 in Milan). The PAC also engaged in several robberies.
The murder of Torregiani and Sabbadin had been decided by the PAC because both of them had killed militants in the past. Torregiani was killed as revenge in front of his 13-year-old son, who was also shot by his father as a result of a tragic error. The son was left paralysed, and the paraplegic Torregiani considers now that, in any case, Battisti is responsible for the shooting, and should serve his sentence in jail: "It's not about the person of Cesare Battisti," he declared to the national press agency ANSA, "It's in order that everyone understands that, sooner or later, those who have committed such serious crimes should pay for their faults."
Cesare Battisti was arrested and jailed in Italy on February 26, 1979, sentenced to 12 and a half years in prison for participation in an "armed group" ("partecipazione a banda armata"). He was sentenced on the ground of material evidence and testimony provided by two "collaboratori di giustizia" (defendants who testified against their former accomplice) who benefitted from lighter sentences for their testimony. The status of "collaboratore di giustizia", also popularly known as pentito, was established by anti-terrorist legislation enacted during this period.
PAC members organised his escape on October 4, 1981, while he was in Frosinone prison. Battisti fled to Paris and then Puerto Escondido, Oaxaca, Mexico, very shortly afterward. While in Mexico, he founded a literary review, Via Libre, which is still active. He also participated in the creation of the Book Festival of Managua, Nicaragua, and organised the first Graphic Arts Biennal in Mexico. Battisti began to write at the suggestion of Paco Ignacio Taibo II and collaborated with various newspapers.
Pietro Mutti, one of the leaders of the PAC who had been sentenced in absentia for the assassination of the prison guard Santoro, was arrested in 1982. He sought the status of collaboratore di giustizia and his testimony, which helped him reduce his sentence, implicated Battisti and an accomplice in the four assassinations claimed by the PAC. Battisti's trial was thus reopened in 1987, and he was sentenced in absentia in 1988 for two assassinations (Santoro and DIGOS agent Campagna) and complicity in murder in the two others (jeweler Torregiani and butcher Sabbadin). The court sentenced him in 1995, on appeal, to a life-sentence. Two years earlier, the Court of Cassation had quashed, on procedural grounds, the case against Battisti's accomplice, accused by Pietro Mutti.
Two of the assassinations occurred on February 16, 1979, one at Milan at 15h, and the other in Mestre, 270 km away from Milan, at 16h50. Battisti was sentenced for materially committing the first assassination, and for planning the second one.
Ten years earlier, in 1985, the President of France François Mitterrand had indicated that "leftist Italian activists who were not indicted for violent crimes and had given up terrorist activity would not be extradited to Italy"; this became known as the "Mitterrand doctrine". Many Italian political activists had fled to France during the 1970s-1980s. Trusting in this declaration, Battisti returned to France in 1990, where he was arrested at Italy's request in 1991, when his sentence was confirmed in the Court of Cassation. He thus passed five months in Fresnes prison and then was freed after the extradition request was rejected by the Paris Appeal Court on May 29, 1991. French justice concluded that the anti-terrorist legislation enacted in Italy "went against the French principles of law," which, along with the European Court of Human Rights (ECtHR), prohibited in particular extradition of a person sentenced in absentia if that person had not been in a condition to adequately defend himself during his trial. The court also declared the evidence against Battisti as "contradictory" and "worthy of a military justice."
After his release in 1991, Battisti lived in Paris, where he wrote his first novel, Les Habits d'ombre ("The shadow clothes"). Two thrillers, L'Ombre rouge ("The red shadow") and Buena onda ("Good wave"), took as their setting and backdrop the Parisian world of Italian fugitives from justice. Another major novel, titled Dernières cartouches ("Last bullets"), takes place in Italy during the "years of lead".
In 1997, jointly with other left-wing Italians who had fled to France and were accused of taking part in violent crimes, he asked without success the President of Italy at the time, Oscar Luigi Scalfaro (DC), for amnesty.
Over the years, Italy asked France several times to arrest and extradite left-wing Italians involved in court cases connected with political violence in Italy who had fled to France. On September 11, 2002, the extradition of Battisti and others was again requested during a meeting in Paris between Italy's Minister of Justice Roberto Castelli and France's Minister of Justice Dominique Perben.
On February 10, 2004, the French government arrested Battisti at Italy's request and planned to extradite him to Italy. On June 30, 2004, the Paris Court of Appeal approved his extradition. An appeal to the Court of Cassation was filed against this opinion and another to the Conseil d'État against the extradition decree. President Jacques Chirac stated on July 2, 2004, that he would not oppose the French justice system's decision to extradite him. Perben confirmed Paris' new position: "There is no ambiguity. There has been a change of attitude from France, and I support it," (in reference to the "Mitterrand doctrine"), among other reasons "because of the European construction".
As of 2007, only Paolo Persichetti, former member of the Unità Comuniste Combattenti, among the 200 Italians involved in Court cases dealing with political violence requested by Italy, had been extradited (in August 2002). He was eventually sentenced to 22 years of prison. Minister Edouard Balladur signed Persichetti's extradition decree in 1994; it was validated by the Conseil d'Etat the following year. According to RFI radio station, the Perben-Castelli agreement was divided in three parts: all events before 1982 would be prescribed "except in case of exceptional gravity"; facts between 1982 and 1993 would be "examined on a case by case basis", in function of the European Convention of Human Rights (ECHR) principle and of the "conditions in which the trials took place in Italy".
Still claiming innocence, Cesare Battisti failed to check in at the local police station while on parole, and went underground on August 21, 2004.
the circumstance that some of the charges held against Mr Battisti, which led to the cited sentences, are partly based on statements by "repented" witnesses, is not contrary to French public order and does not constitute an infringement by Italian authorities of the requirements of Article 6 of the European Human Rights and fundamental liberties safeguard convention (...).
ECtHR, then, confirmed those decisions and ruled that the Italian trial in absentia in Battisti's case was fair under its provisions.
In July 2005, the Italian press revealed the existence of the Department of Anti-terrorism Strategic Studies (DSSA), a "parallel police" created by Gaetano Saya, leader of Destra Nazionale neofascist party, and Riccardo Sindoca, two leaders of the National Union of the Police Forces (Unpf). Both claimed they were former members of Gladio, NATO's "stay-behind" paramilitary organization involved in Italy's strategy of tension and various alleged activist acts. According to Il Messaggero, quoted by The Independent, judicial sources declared that wiretaps suggested DSSA members had been planning to kidnap Cesare Battisti.
On 5 February 2005, the European Parliament adopted a resolution in which it expressed its trust "that the re-examination of the decision on the extradition of Cesare Battisti will take into account the judgment delivered by an EU Member State in full compliance with the principle of the rule of law in the European Union".
The applicant had patently been informed of the accusation against him and of the progress of the proceedings before the Italian courts, notwithstanding the fact that he had absconded. Furthermore, the applicant, who had deliberately chosen to remain on the run after escaping from prison, had received effective assistance during the proceedings from several lawyers specially appointed by him. Hence, the Italian and subsequently the French authorities had been entitled to conclude that the applicant had unequivocally waived his right to appear and be tried in person. The French authorities had therefore taken due account of all the circumstances of the case and of the Court's case-law in granting the extradition request made by the Italian authorities: manifestly ill-founded.
Battisti fled to Brazil and was arrested in Rio de Janeiro on March 18, 2007.
After Brazil granted him refugee status through a decision of its Minister of Justice Tarso Genro. Battisti's request for asylum was first denied by the National Committee for Refugees, in a decision taken by simple majority. His defense appealed to the Minister of Justice, who granted in January 2009 refugee status, a decision which divided Brazilian public opinion. Refugee status, however, halts the request for extradition, which is being considered by the Brazilian Supreme Court.
Italian President Giorgio Napolitano wrote to Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, informing him of the "emotion and understandable reactions" raised in his country, in public opinion and among political forces by this "grave decision". Italian Justice Minister, Angelino Alfano, has asked Brazilian authorities to reconsider this decision "in the light of international cooperation against terrorism". Lula answered Napolitano, mentioning that Genro's decision is founded on the Brazilian constitution and on the UN 1951 Convention on Refugee Status and is an act of sovereignty of Brazil.
Criticism was also based on speculations about the influence exerted by Carla Bruni, spouse of the French President Nicolas Sarkozy, on Genro's decision. Brazilian Senator Eduardo Suplicy attested to Corriere della Sera that Bruni herself asked Lula to refuge Battisti. Bruni denied this claim on a RAI interview as she expressed her condolences with the families of Battisti's victims.
Controversy surrounded Genro's decision to grant refugee status to Battisti. Many law specialists have said that the decision was illegal. The Brazilian Supreme Court began trying the case in September 2009. By 5 to 4 (simple majority), the court ruled Genro's decision null and void on 18 November. However, the court also decided by 5 to 4 that the Brazilian constitution gives the president personal powers to deny the extradition if he chose, effectively putting the decision in the hands of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
On 29 December 2010, unofficial reports in Italy and Brazil said President Lula was about to announce he was denying extradition of Battisti, just three days short before the end of his presidential term. The official announcement did take place on December 31, hours before the end of Lula's time in office.
On 8 June 2011, the Brazilian Supreme Court ruled that Lula's decision is final. Italian authorities announced their intention to appeal to the International Court of Justice saying Brazil breached an extradition treaty.
In November 2013, the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina invited Battisti to speak at a conference.
Cesare Battisti lived in the town of Embu das Artes, in the São Paulo metropolitan area, and worked as a realtor.
In March 2015, a federal judge ruled null and void a decision to grant him a permanent visa as this would conflict with Brazilian law, and ordered his deportation. The judge stressed that the deportation should not be confused with extradition, as it does not require that Battisti be surrendered to Italy, but rather to the country from which he entered Brazil, or any other country that will agree to receive him. On 14 September 2015, the Regional Federal Court of São Paulo declared the expulsion illegal and canceled the order of deportation.
In June 2015 Battisti married Joice Lima, a Brazilian citizen.
On 12 January 2019, Battisti was arrested in Santa Cruz de La Sierra, Bolivia and returned to Italy to start serving his sentence.
On 25 March 2019, Battisti acknowledged his responsabilities in the crimes attributed to him, pleading guilty.
Until 25 March 2019, Cesare Battisti denied having committed any of the murders he had been sentenced for; on that date he admitted to the chief prosecutor of Milan (Francesco Greco) involvement in four killings.. The circumstances of his sentence have been questioned.[by whom?] A movement claiming Battisti's innocence is active in the media and in public opinion (especially in France and Italy). Among the most vocal supporters of Battisti are the writers Fred Vargas, Valerio Evangelisti and Bernard-Henri Lévy. They consider that the trials conducted in Italy were marked by irregularities. These alleged irregularities involved the use of torture (Battisti's French lawyers have not used this peculiar charge, the violation of article 3 ECHR, in their rejected claim to ECtHR), and the misuse of witnesses: according to Battisti's supporters, witnesses against Battisti were either affected by mental troubles, or were "collaboratori di giustizia", (that is, defendants testifying against other defendants in order to benefit from a reduced sentence. Those peculiar witnesses are also used by French justice, i.e. art. 132-78 French Code pénal). Battisti's supporters also claim that ballistic analysis and graphological expertises used in Italian court cases do in fact exonerate Battisti, contrary to what the courts considered.
Most of public opinion in Italy disagrees with those views, and Battisti's arrest in Brazil has been commented upon favourably in the media. Rifondazione Comunista, however, claims that he should not be extradited, as he would not be granted the right to a new trial. In France, supporters of Battisti, such as Gilles Perrault, have called the 2007 arrest, a few weeks before the April 2007 presidential election, an "electoral feat," closely timed by the then Interior Minister Nicolas Sarkozy, candidate for the UMP conservative party. François Bayrou, candidate for the UDF right-of-center party, has called for a new trial, as have members of the left-wing.
Defenders of Battisti, among whom the Human Rights League (LDH), consider that France's decision to extradite Battisti was illegal, since Battisti would not have the right to a new trial after having been judged in absentia. The right to a new trial is not a sufficient guarantee for the defendant, as clearly ruled by the ECHR in the case of Krombach v. France, application no. 29731/96; and also article 6 of ECHR, the juridical ground of Battisti's claim against extradition, doesn't prescribe a new trial. ECHR establishes that there is not an absolute right to a new trial after a trial in absentia. Battisti's claim concerned the defendant's knowledge of the trial, and Battisti's lawyers argued that the defendant had not been in a position to know that in Italy there was a trial against him, and therefore his rights had been violated.
The USM condemns the procedure consisting in discrediting, in a purely ideological perspective, a justice decision emitted by an Italian Assizes Court, in strict respect of penal legal procedures (appeals and "Cassation"), in the case of a defendant not appearing in Court but defended in each and every stage of procedure in accordance with Italian prevailing legislation.

"An adaptive threshold determination method of feature screening for ge" by Guifang Fu, Gang Wang et al.
Although the dimension of the entire genome can be extremely large, only a parsimonious set of influential SNPs are correlated with a particular complex trait and are important to the prediction of the trait. Efficiently and accurately selecting these influential SNPs from millions of candidates is in high demand, but poses challenges. We propose a backward elimination iterative distance correlation (BE-IDC) procedure to select the smallest subset of SNPs that guarantees sufficient prediction accuracy, while also solving the unclear threshold issue for traditional feature screening approaches.
Verified through six simulations, the adaptive threshold estimated by the BE-IDC performed uniformly better than fixed threshold methods that have been used in the current literature. We also applied BE-IDC to an Arabidopsis thaliana genome-wide data. Out of 216,130 SNPs, BE-IDC selected four influential SNPs, and confirmed the same FRIGIDA gene that was reported by two other traditional methods.
BE-IDC accommodates both the prediction accuracy and the computational speed that are highly demanded in the genomic selection.

Exquisitely tumbled and polished shards of semi-precious lemon quartz work together to form a bright, festive cluster that will delight your wrist. Margaret personally selects her gemstones and makes each Water's Edge Bracelet by hand; thus, each is a one-of-a-kind, semi-precious keepsake.
Margaret's Note: Catalina Island beckons just off the coast of Santa Monica and is a slice of Mediterranean heaven in the Pacific Ocean. On a clear bright island day, whites and blues dominate the color spectrum. In the color palette of my Catalina Collection, I chose Lemon Quartz for its strong space in the color spectrum between the white of sand on a sunny day and the rich, golden hues sand assumes during a sunset. I love the fact that Lemon Quartz is known for its soothing qualities assisting in meditation, where inner peace and higher knowledge can be attained.
California Culture: The Water's Edge and rough-cut Secret Cove Lemon Quartz Bracelets exude California's nature and the rich balance of a coastal lifestyle. Both bracelets dress up a casual ensemble or can stand-out as a statement showpiece for evening wear or special occasion.
Dimensions: Custom-made and sized to fit per order. Choose from sizes 6.5 or 7.5-inch or add your custom size in 'Notes' upon check-out.
Materials: Each Water's Edge bracelet is finished with a polished, plated rhodium double-link chain and clasped with a signature jeweled, magnetic 'egg' clasp. The Water's Edge Bracelet is delivered to you in a Margaret Rowe Noir velvet box or archival bracelet wallet, with Certificate of Creation & Authenticity and is stamp-signed by the designer.

2023: "Tinubu's administration will completely eliminate poverty in Nigeria", Shettima assures
Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the presidential candidate of the All Progressives Congress (APC), will tackle poverty in Nigeria if elected as president in 2023, Kashim Shettima, the vice presidential candidate of the party, has said.
Shettima disclosed this on Tuesday, while speaking on behalf of Tinubu, at the unveiling of Tinubu/Shettima Crowd funding Application, in Lagos.
Shettima said with the app, everybody will be able to contribute to the campaign fund. He praised Tinubu's leadership quality, saying leadership has to do with track record, antecedent and achievements and not the issue of cyber-bullying.
He expressed confidence that with the performance of Tinubu as ex-Lagos State governor and himself as ex- Borno State governor, they would replicate the giant strides recorded in their states for Nigeria if elected.
"Jagaban, pairing with my humble self, places us as the best bet. Undoubtedly, Jagaban is the architect of modern Lagos. Leadership goes beyond insults and cyber-bullying. Leadership requires reaching out, leadership is harnessing our diversity.
"We have no business being poor. I find it amusing when people say we should reduce poverty; we have to eradicate poverty", Shettima noted.
He further commended the committee that created the application, and promised that they will continue to be relevant even after the party might have won the election.

It's hard to believe that our story started back in 2008 (nearly 8 years ago). We've grown as people, as quilters, as a community and as a company in so many ways since then. It's been an amazing journey and we are so lucky to have you all by our side through it all.
A few months ago we were lucky enough to have the BYU TV film crew come to the small town of Hamilton, MO to film a Turning Point feature on Missouri Star Quilt Co. and the full story of how we came to be. We hope you enjoy watching the feature below and feel a bit more like family after doing so.
* Click the expand button in the bottom right hand corner of the video to make it bigger.
Ever wondered what happens after you click "submit" on a Missouri Star Quilt Company fabric order? Here's a behind the scenes look at the process! It's a day in the life of a fabric order! Because we are an online AND brick and mortar shop, it's a little different than a warehouse with everything under one roof. Ready to see the process?
Meet Stephen. He's shopping at missouriquiltco.com and places an order for the Daily Deal. On this day, it's a charm pack of the Frost fabric line. A steal of a price, too! While he's at it, he adds a yard of Kona Solids fabric in Snow. Gotta build that stash!
His order is fulfilled from two separate places here at Missouri Star. All precuts (and notions, books, etc) are stored in the warehouse and are picked there. The yardage, though, comes from one of our four fabric shops. In this case, his Kona Snow comes from Penney's Quilt Shop, where our solids are sold.
At the solids shop, bolts to be cut for orders are picked and stacked at a cutting counter. (Say, "Hi, Cindy!") The cutting counter crew cuts these orders AND takes care of orders for people who are shopping in store. As you can imagine, it's a busy place!
Then the order is cut…..
….and labeled with a sticker that has a barcode.
It's then scanned and placed in a numbered bin. When the tag is scanned, the system tracks the numbered bin all the way to the warehouse.
The bins travel to the warehouse in a horse drawn carriage (with the high school marching band playing in the background, of course). Or something like that.
At the warehouse, the shipping department takes over! The pickers pull orders in batches. Each batch fills a cart of 15 orders at a time. Pickers wear iPads that help them know where to go in the warehouse to find each item in the order.
The screen even displays how many of each item to put in the bins. This particular cart has orders that all include the Daily Deal, so what you see here is the number of Frost charm packs to put in each bin (or order). Stephen's charm pack is in one of these!
…and tosses them into each bin for the orders on the cart.
Then it's off to the shipping stations where Stephen's order is wrapped and labeled for shipping.
The jolly postman comes for pick up and the order is whisked away, off to Stephen's house!
We hope this peek behind the scenes helps you to know what's happening with your order. As you can see, some orders come from one spot (for example, if you order all precuts, they are all at the warehouse) while other orders come from multiple places (where it gets really fun). Let's make a pretend fabric order for that: Say you ordered a precut (from the warehouse), a yard of Christmas fabric (which is cut at Sew Seasonal), some Civil War yardage (which is cut at the Mercantile), a yard of the latest Bonnie and Camille fabric (which is cut in the main shop) and a few yards of coordinating solids (which are cut Penney's Quilt Shop). The five pieces of your order will come from five different spots, all meeting up at the warehouse with matching barcodes. It's pretty cool, actually!
We're settling in at the new warehouse , getting used to our new system of picking orders and are working SO hard to get back to same day shipping. You can bet there will be a giant celebration as soon as that day gets here! We're deeply grateful for the patience and support of our incredible customers. YOU ROCK!
Today's post is a heartfelt one, written by Al. We hope you enjoy it as much as we have.
Growing up brings about so many nostalgic moments.
This weekend was a huge one for our company. HUGE, I tell you! HUGE!
Almost six years ago, we started our company in a great big 5,000 square foot building at 100 N Ardinger in Hamilton, Missouri. It was way too big for us! We refinished the front 1,000 square feet to be our shop and went to work refinishing that space.
We tore out the paneling and put up some fresh paint and a new floor and that room was great.
We got our first internet orders there and we would all package the 3-4 orders a day right up and send them off right from the cutting table.
As we continued to grow, we built a little shipping department in the back, then a machine quilting room.
Once it became more than just Becky and Jackie answering the phones, we moved our customer service into their own room.
Eventually, the shop moved to the main street (where it remains today) and that 100 N Ardinger building became strictly shipping and customer service.
And then it wasn't big enough for that, even! It was crazy, but we needed more space for our customer service team and a loading dock. Ammon (our warehouse manager) made a great forklift, but his arms were getting tired!
About a year ago (August 8th of last year, actually) we decided it was time to build our own custom warehouse for our shipping and customer service. We had all kinds of cool stuff that needed to be in there. We needed a way to get fabric cut in the shops and then connected back into your orders so they get shipped out in a timely manner. We wanted ways of organizing products so that we could always find them, even when we were down to that very last charm pack. But mainly, we needed space.
So we got building! Winter came and snowed us out for a few months, but we kept going.
This last weekend, we finally moved our shipping over to the new warehouse.
There were so many moving parts to this move. Did we think of fire extinguishers? What about chairs for the breakroom? (sorry everyone!) Carts for the pickers and bins for the carts? We got bins for the charm packs and layer cakes, but what about notions? What do those go into?
The move got more and more complex, and was a pretty stressful time for a lot of us. And now (making sure no order was lost in the mix) we are working hard to get everything up to snuff. Now we have the room to finally hire a few more shippers and get our feet back under us. Our goal by the end of the month is to be back to getting your orders out the day you place them. We are excited!
With all that hubub going on, I was a little surprised at some of the feelings. Sarah, Natalie, and myself were sweeping out the 100 N Ardinger building on Saturday night. After everything had been moved out of the front rooms and it was just a few empty shipping tables and shelves, we tidied up the floor and then all sat down and were overcome with this nostalgia. We're definitely not sad. This is exciting! We have needed more space for so long!
But it's weird, you know? It's weird to grow up.
We recalled the days the A/C unit would quit and we'd just sweat and ship. We remembered how (even before that) we had the Friday night sews, with people sitting on top of people.
It's also where the first tutorials were filmed with a little camcorder!
Just to have those walls remember such wonderful times choked me up a little.
A lot of companies have a garage that is their very, very beginning. Ours is that building on Ardinger. It's that small room in the front where it all started, with Mom and a long arm machine and two shelves with a half dozen bolts of fabric. And it's great to remember that, I think.
I asked Sarah what we should do with that building now. She's not sure, but one thing is for certain. We'll keep that front room just like it is. No matter what else we end up doing, we need to be able to walk back in there and remember those feelings that keep this business so exciting.
I'm definitely not sad to be moving on from there. We are excited to be growing, but there's a big part of me that will just miss walking in there every morning to tackle the day.
That being said, it's nice to finally have room to park! 🙂 Thanks for the journey, everyone. Here's to another great era in our new warehouse! Thanks for sticking with us while we improve and learn. I promise you'll like what we have up ahead!
If you've been following along on Instagram, we've been sharing snippets of #alansfirstquilt. Today, he's here to tell the tale and share photos of the finished quilt. He picked an upcoming line of fabric from Fig Tree called Somerset (look for it in September). Here's Alan!
So I made my first quilt and put in the last stitch this last week (Sunday night actually). A friend of mine, Adrian, was out in Missouri working for the summer with us and wanted to surprise her mom with a quilt and challenged me to make one, too.
The buddy system worked really well for us, having one of us call the other and say, "Hey, let's go quilt for an hour or two." It helped us see our quilts to the end. But quilting really is a social thing, even if you're just helping each other iron or both messing up on your 1/4″ seams together, it's great to have a partner in the process.
Both Adrian and I chose to do the Dresden Coin quilt tutorial. I was hovering on the churn dash because I love that one, but settled on the Dresden Coin because I thought it would go together a bit more quickly.
So I needed two Layer Cakes (I'm a big guy) and my layer cake dresden template, I got those and hopped right in. My first obstacle was when I opened up the layer cake I broke the bands on it and was staring at this beautiful stack of fabric… but now what? I just kind of stood there until I got the courage to start cutting, so I grabbed 4-5 at a time and started cutting my dresden blades. Cutting fabric is a bit tricky, I kept trying to use the ruler / template as a guard, so I'd angle the blade into it and got some wonky cuts until I figured out straight up and down was my friend. Game changer right there.
The other hard spot was after I got them all cut, what next? I had these big piles of dresden blades and struggled figuring out how to go from a stack to the quilt, so I grabbed two tables and started laying them out. It was turning into a big endeavor because nothing matched anything and it felt like there was no right place. I'd get one row set, then have to change it again because I'd see too much brown.
Then my sister Natalie suggested I just match up two blades at a time and sew them together, then put them into groups of four, then move around batches of four to make my rows. It made it much more manageable, and I got a few spots of too much orange or too much red. I was too overwhelmed trying to get everything perfect before I sewed my first seam, so Natalie's way was much better for me.
This leads me to my next challenge. I had no idea how to thread my sewing machine or set it up. I sent mom a text, "Ma, we need to do a tutorial on the first time you sit down at your sewing machine. I'm lost!" Thankfully, Natalie rescued me (again!) and showed me how to follow the numbers on our Baby Lock Melody sewing machine. Now I'm a pro! If you don't know how to do it, maybe just get someone to show you once or twice and you'll be set. Then I tried Mom's Baby Lock Jane (the super fast one she sews on) and broke the thread. I think I put four square knots in that thread before I gave up on it. Moral of the story; not all machines have numbers on them to help you thread that needle. They should.
So, here's how we fixed that. I cut my sashing to all the same length, then would pull on some rows and be loose on a few and that helped until I got the whole top together. Then I had a top that had one great side, and one really wonky side. So, we folded it in half 4-5 times until I had a 10″ strip by however wide my quilt was, then I just trimmed the one side about 1/2 – 3/4″ in and I had a straight edge again. I was ready for my side sashing and my borders.
Borders were hard to pick! I wanted an orange one from the line, because I like orange. But it made the quilt too soft, so I went with a brown one. It was hard to let my orange go, but after auditioning the fabrics (as mom would say), I knew I was making the right choice.
Then I went to the quilting department and got our great girls Sandi and Danielle to help me quilt. Once we got the quilt pinned on, I think I giggled a little. It was happening! I was so tickled with myself for making something. For doing it!
As we quilted, that's when it started clicking for me. Sandi was there with us until almost midnight (Thanks, Sandi!). We got it done, and then were off to binding.
What an awesome feeling to have made a quilt. I know where each mistake is. I know the sashing is wavy and the borders don't match perfectly. I know my binding is fudged in two parts cause I didn't sew it onto the quilt right. But it's done, and it looks awesome (I think!) and I'm so excited to have made something that just a few weeks ago I didn't know how to do.
That's the greatest feeling to me. It's making something that takes time. Amazon can't deliver this. When I give this quilt away, someone will have 20-30 hours of my life, and that's something I haven't given anyone for a long time. Thanks, quilting!
Today's Meet Missouri Star post introduces you to Ammon (on the left) and Jarom. This pair of brothers can be found in the warehouse, hauling boxes, organizing arrivals and knowing exactly where things are on each shelf. They're really pretty amazing. And like Ammon says in his interview, together they are "Jammon." Ha! Want to meet them? Let's go!
Ammon is our warehouse manager and has been with us for two years now. Sarah is his sister-in-law, so though he's not a Doan, he's definitely family!
Any special experience that helps you with your position? I worked for 11 years for a company that merchandised in Walmarts, was in a lot of Walmart back rooms and delt with all different kinds of product. Stocked, did inventory counts, helped customers find what they wanted, and had to remember all the things we had avalable for sale. Turns out, all those things are very useful still!
Do you sew? I can sew. Buttons on shirts, patches on pants and things like that. I have yet to attempt a quilt. That will be someday in the future for me! I do have a fabric line picked out for my first one!
What do you like best about your job? Working with my family. And being close to home. And meeting people from all over the world!
Anything else you want to share? I have a beautiful wife named Cyndi, five boys and one baby girl. I love movies ( big Tim Burton fan), books, frisbee, and basketball, love to bounce on the tramp with my kids and just hang with them. I am a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and love Jesus 😉 am a bit of a goofball, and my wife says I'm a flirt. I also love skulls (very fond of my own), am a fan of the outdoors, love all the little plants and animals that you really have to search for, like blue tailed skinks, oreals, snakes, and spiders (especially jumping spiders). But even though I like the out of doors, I'm not a fan of camping!
Jarom is Ammon's warehouse assistant and has been with MSQC for three months now.
Any past experience that helps you with your job? I delivered appliances and furniture for a company in Idaho for eleven years and then was a salesman for them for one year. So I have lots of lifting and product handling experience mixed with some people skills.
Do you sew? I've sewn some buttons back on shirts before. But no, not really.
Any funny work stories to share? I'm Ammon's younger brother but I'm a bit bigger than him. It's always funny when Ammon introduces me as his little brother. A few of the girls in the shipping department can't remember my name, so they just call me Big Ammon.
Favorite MSQC product? We just got a new line in called Gorjuss. love it!
Anything else you want to share about yourself? I'm married to the most amazing woman in the whole world! We have six beautiful children. We love to spend time together reading books, watching movies, enjoying the outdoors, hanging out with grandma and grandpa and aunts and uncles and cousins.
I play the piano, love to ride my motorcycle and enjoy sports.
What do you like best about your job? Working with Ammon every day!
How about those brothers?! Pretty awesome guys, right?! You can tell in the photo that they really enjoy being together and we love seeing family members side by side, creating such cool teams.
