together over the pretty silken
patches and the labors of love are
transformed into active recreation.
says Hereford (Pa) correspondent
Of the Philadelphia Record.
The preliminary wqrk of making the
bed quilt is usually begun by the
grandmother or the school girl, the
latter of whom readily finds an hour
of leisure between her study hour
and the time she usually retires. The
patches for making these wonderful
quilts and bedspreads are of every de.
scription, and, first of all, they are
cut to their proper sizes-some tiny
little pieces. often only halt an inch
square. others in circles. stars and
diamonds. and many others according
to the ideal taste Of the housewife,
who may have planned the pattern
years before she thrust the first needle
through the calico or silk This fine
work necessitates lots of sewing, and
If often takes the entire family-that
Is the feminine members-several
winters to prepare the patches before
the coverlet Is ready for the quilting
frame.
After all the tiny patches have been
sewed together into strips, the strips
are sewed together and the spread is
ready to be stretched On the wooden
frame, where the tedious work that
becomes such recreation begins.
FOL
many days, if only. few women do
It at the farmhouse. So the sum-
mons goes around from house to
house that a quilting is to take
place at a certain neigh boris, all day
Saturday. Bright and early they make
their way to the place, each equipped
with thimble. The mistress of the
house furnishes them with needles
and thread, and they sit around the
spread on four sides and work to-
ward each other. Usually the num-
Der is only limited to the outside
space that can be occupied, and when
the work draws to the center of the
spread, only half the number that
started can work. The other hall
will not then be idle, as the mistress
has always another job of similar
nature ON hand.
II often occurs that half a dozen
spreads are completed at one farm
house in a single winter, for the quilt
ing party is to the women what the
fox chase is to the men Of the farm.
The ladies usually have a very good
time. as it occurs at an opportune
season when the farmhouse larder Is
filed with sausages, fresh meat, scrap
pie and mincemeat. Hence they have
lots of goodies to eat; and, with the
fancy cakes and the sweet cider why
shouldn't they be happy?
