Shall We Send a Blue

BY FLORENCE LA GANKE.

CELKIRK, Ontario. Is represented
in our album Of quilt blocks. We
have an original pattern from Mrs.
M. I. Hoover. She says that she
worked it out, using some Of the
blocks that her youngsters played
with. After having put the blocks to-
gether she drew the design and then
pieced blocks of fabric. As she says.
"the general effect is that Of ribbons
lacing under and over to the edge Of
the quilt" When Mrs. Hoover pieced
the quilt top she used red and white
pieces. Any other color scheme could
be used, of course. And, as she sug-
gests in another part OF her letter.

TT IS said that this surname was
= given to one who lived near a
place called Stone, so-called from its
rocky surface. This man was dubbed
"Will at Stone" There are today
many towns and parishes In Great

also q wen-known place name and

as you can see, the effect would be

The members OF the Nancy Page

and saw resemblances to the old
favorite Milky Way" Nancy agreed
with them and then pointed out the
four pointed star which alternated
with the square box. In fact, num-
ber of combination designs may be
seen in this seemingly simple zone
The quilt members clipped the pic
ture and directions from the paper.
Then they sent for the direction

They traced the pieces onto light
weight cardboard and then cut these
out to use as patterns. Since the pat
terms make no allowance for seams,
they took care OF that in cutting
They laid the cardboard pattern on
the piece of fast-color fine quality
cloth and traced around its edge with
sharp pencil. Then they cut the
piece out, allowing one-quarter inch

The seams were SeWed on the line.
They used number so white thread.
They were careful to have knot at
the end of the thread and they fin

or three fine backstitcheS.
They passed the seams fiat when
the block was pieced They started
the steam in one-quarter inch from
ends and edges of material. and fin

This allowed them to press the seams

When washing black material or
black garments, either silk. wool or

Whatever political changes may be

see the democratic structure of govern

must be kept independent of the execu

The press must remain untrammeled
