so many beautiful violets bloom

Old Art Back
Has New Look
Fancy quilts, lavish wilh color,
pattern and exquisite handstitchinf .
are spreading tneir warmth and
beauty in the home of many a
young modern, as graciously as
they did In grandmothers day.
And they aren't just the cher
ished heirloom you were lucky
enough to inherit. As a matter of
fact one of the loveliest, a p'.uk
iulio quilt, owned in Klairtalh Falls,
isn't an heirloom at at all, it was
won at a churrh dinner.
The boom in home sewing has re
vived interest In the art of qu'lting.
Simple lines of modern furniture
are good foils for the colorful in
tricacies of a quilt design.
Manv yountr women are taking
up this nrt. that's also soothlns? on
'.he nerves when spats occur in
those first days of Married life.
Many oldsters prbfer to sit by the
fireplace and sew than dance the
ihuinba.
Modern quill eft enjoy advantages
our forebears -.lever dreamed of.
Today's color-fast and fade-re-
sistant fabrics ptomise to keep
quilts bright for years. New tex
tures In closely woven cottons add
their luster to old favorites, such as
calico, gingham, percales and mus
lins. New quill pattern books have
clear Instructions eliminating much
of Uie guesswork. Many of Uie pat
terns are exactly diagrammed. Ex
act yardages are given.
Even though your ueedlecraft Is
lar (rum perfect, the work goes
rapidly and holds the interest be
cause results are seen in a short
time.
The real quilting begins after
those little blocks are all neatly
1 inched.
The use of frames Is recom
mended to hold the top. lining and
cotton batting firmly togethe.'.
One expert, who likes to "pick up"
her quilting, uses 'large embroidery
hoojis (22 Inchei). or the easy
road can be taken end your mas
terpiece can be put into the tender
care or a church group that win
complete the work in double quick
time tor a fee.
Flower designs lo choose from,
read like an old-fashioned bouquet,
bleeding heart, primrose, spring

is a quaint old tinier and a splashy
polnsettia pattern has a definite

most as big as they grow them in

But regardless of the pattern
chosen, a hand-qullted quilt is a

Margaret Kageler, a new mem

Klamath Falls auxiliary at the last

with birthdays In November, De

CLEANING TIP
Both oven and top-of-the-range
utensils may be made from a type
of glassware that is heat-resistant.
However, this doesn't mean that
they will not break. They should be
handled carefully.' Sudden changes
in temperature, such as placing a
dish just out of the refrigerator
on a hot surface,, may cause it to
break. Also, using ovenware on top
of the range may give trouble since
most of these glass utensils are
not designed to be interchangeable.
A good, fine abrasive that many
homemakers have used for years
is whiting. This is a fine white
powder available at most paint or
hardware stores: It is Inexpensive
and has many uses. When scour
ing or rubbing are necessary, this
material can be used on most sur
faces. It is often necessary to choose
an abrasive uiat will do a rubouig
Job without damaging the material
being cleaned, and whiting serves
this purpose. It can be used on
such soft metals as silver. It is
most usable in polishing chromium,
nichel, and even in cleaning enamel.
A thin even coating of a self-polishing
wax, . applied with a paint
brush or a damp cloth to rubber
articles, will give them a bright
new-looking finish and protect them
against wear.
