How to Get Materials—Clover Blossom Bags 
W HY quilting is regarded as an old 
lady’s job no one seems able to 
explain, but certain it is that all the 
people who quilt as an occupation in our 
county are elderly people, some of them 
quite old. Quilts are coming back into 
their own after some years of oblivion and 
there is nothing more fascinating than 
quilt making and quilting. 
One dollar a spool was the price for 
quilting in pioneer days, but it has 
advanced with the advancing cost of 
living. For a plain quilt not too large a 
week’s work is required and about three 
spools of ^thread, so that six or seven 
dollars must be charged for the task. 
More elaborate patterns bring moie per 
spool, three dollars for the intricate 
any rate it requires no money to embark 
in this business, and anyone who likes a 
profitable winter job will find it easier 
and more pleasant than rug weaving or 
plain sewing.—H ilda Richmond. 
Finding Quilt Materials 
XCELLENT quilts may be made 
from pieces taken from sample books 
of men’s clothing (and these books may 
be had for the asking when they are out 
of season). Sew the samples together on 
the machine, line with heavy outing and 
you have a quilt worth two or three of 
the ordinary kind, and for which you can 
always find a ready sale. 
Another good kind of quilt may be

All the equipment required is the frame 
which can be made a home of long pieces 
of clean timber with the strip of cloth 
tacked on the edge. Many old ladies have 
Made their own. These are laid on stout 
chair backs and rolled as needed. Of 
course a frame with legs is better, and 
this is easy to manage by hunting up four 
old table legs and fastening the side 
pieces to them by means of pegs. Perhaps

Clover Blossom Bags 
E VERY country housewife knows how 
sweet are the clover-scented breezes 
of June. Yet how often we fail to assure 
ourselves of this delicate and refreshing 
perfume for the remainder of the year! 
An hour or two spent in the clover field 
on a “perfect” June day will result in 
a fine basketful of clover blossoms. 
Tied in a generous-sized bag of cheese¬ 
cloth these blossoms will impart a fresh 
and delicate aroma in closets and storage 
places. City friends invariably treasure 
a gift of one or more of these clover 
blossom bags and they possess the virtue 
of being very easily prepared.— Alice 
Margaret Ashton.
