In the first place, a well-made and pretty quilt is an asset to the sim plest bedroom. It may form the focal point of the whole room and set the theme. Then, too, quilts do not wear out readily if they are well constructed, and we have the satis faction of looking at them for years to come. • And last, but by no means least, there are so many good looking pieces of material that find their way into the rag bag, it’s a shame not to use them for something so permanently lovely as a quilt. Dig (hem out. and let’s see just what you can do. Before making a quilt, decide on what type you want to have. The traditional English quilt has a layer of padding between two pieces of fabric. All three are held in place by tiny stitches in close or open de signs that form puffs of fabric. If you follow the Italian tradition of quilt making, you will not use padding until fabric and lining are completed. A heavy padding yarn is then run between the two layers of the design. Quilting frequently is done by machine these days, as the work goes faster, naturally. However, if you prefer, the background may be machine-stitched and the design Worked by hand. One often sees straight rows of stitching, or stitch ing spaced in squares, lattice, trellis or sunburst effects. For machine quilting straight lines are most desirable. The pres sure foot or the cording foot may be used for straight lines or for curved designs. Fabrics Unlimited For Quilts Any type of material may be used for quilts. If you are making some thing for summer, it would be best to work in cotton, as these make beautiful quilts. White sheeting or muslin may be used as the basic fabric and color introduced in the Joining of contrasting fabrics. Quilt linings are usually of sheet Prepare vegetables as directed ing or velveteen. Cotton batting is above and sprinkle with salt and used for lining pepper.

If you are making a quilt for a bed, you will need a frame for the quilt. This may be made at home or purchased. Smaller articles such as pillow covers, table covers, etc., may be quilted on an embroidery frame. ‘ Stuffed Tomato-Egg Salad. (Serves 4) 4 firm, well-shaped tomatoes Salad greens 4 hard-cooked eggs 14 cup diced celery 2 tablespoons salad dressing *4 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 tablespoon or more lemon Juice Salt and pepper Frizzled dried beef or crisp, sliced bacon looking at an attractive quilt J UST sometimes, we wonder how A tomato salad that will hold Its shape even if not refrigerated at the last minute is this one made with cream corn starch. Tomato or cocktail Juice may be used In the base. Calavo-Grapefruit Salad. (Serves 4) 2 large calavos 1 grapefruit Small head lettuce A favorite springtime salad for any occasion is a calavo half shell filled with tart citrus fruit. Cut the calavo into halves lengthwise and remove seed. Scoop out some of the flesh but leave enough to hold the shell intact. Cut the portion removed into dice and combine with diced grape fruit. Arrange the calavo shells on crisp lettuce and All with the calavo- grapefruit mixture. Sprinkle with finely chopped fresh mint. Serve with a lemon-honey dressing. Quilting Procedure Easy to Follow Before you can attach your ma terial to the quilting frame, decide upon your fabric and design. Here's the way you work from there: Trace the design of the pattern on the outside of the fabric if you are going to use backstitch. If you are going to work on the back of the lin ing, use backstitch. Now it’s time to lay out the fabric, lining and padding. These may be placed on a large table or on the floor. The lining and padding are not sewed together, but rather are held in place by the tacking. The edges should be pinned all the way around and set in the frame. If a frame is not used, the edges are pinned and basted. The fabric, lining and interlining should not be allowed to slip. The Released by Western Newspaper Union.
