PETROLEUM JELLY patchwork and Quilting ijM@f\ in pillows WOULDN'T you love to make one of these joll y patchwork or quilted pillows to tuck in the corner of the sofa or the favorite arm chair? In bright, crisp calicoes with hand-quilting and real patchwork, they add a dash of color and a quaint touch to room furnishings. Like grandmother's old-time treasure quilts they arc made by hand. The front is no larger than a quilt block. Seams arc made on the wrong side or they may be made on right side and bound. They are hand quilted or left plain. Sides are boxed with cording or tailored trimming inserted at scams. Quilting is quite simple to do. It consists of fine running stitches, done with- matching or contrasting thread. To quilt a pieced pillow top, lay a piece of sheet wadding on the wrong side of the pieced top, then cover the sheet wadding with voile or unbleached muslin (the size of the pillow top) which has been stamped with the quilting pattern. The quilting is done from the wrong side, using buttonhole twist if the pillow top is silk or strong cotton thread if the top is of cotton. The beauty of the finished pillow will depend on the fineness of the stitches. Changeable gold colored taffeta was used for the round pillow at the right above, with basket design in handquilting. Hot-iron transfer pattern No. 1130 was stamped on a circle of unbleached muslin , 13 inches in diameter. Top and back were cut the same size and the side strip was cut 2 inches wide. A layer of sheet wadding was placed over the taffeta top and the wadding was covered with the circular piece of stamped muslin. The basket design was hand-quilted with matching buttonhole twist from the wrong side. Three rows of quilting, 14 inch apart, added a nice finish to the edge of front. The round pillow with point edge is made of yellow calico with a quaint little flower design in green, rose, yellow and black on a pale yellow ground. The front and back are of the same material. Pillow width is 13 !4 inches. The point edge is of red and black glazed chintz. To make a point , cut a 4-inch square of chintz, fold diagonally and then fold again through center to give the point of 4 thicknesses of cloth. Make 11 black and 11 red points. Pin points together, alternating black and red, lapping them Yi the width of point. Baste point edges together and baste to edge of pillow top. Sew front to back, leaving opening to insert pillow. The oblong quilted pillow, illustrated at upper center, was made of an old taffeta waist which was dyed a soft shade of rose. The front and backs were cut 9 by 11 inches with a strip 2 inches wide for the side box. Front and back were quilted alike in diagonal lines Yi inch apart with rose silk thread. The edges were corded with a self-covered cord and the boxed sides quilted in straight rows \4 inch apart. pATCHVVORKand quilting are com- *• bincd in the other little oblong pillow illustrated above. The back is cut of yellow calico 9x1lYi inches. The front is made of yellow, green , and rose flowered calico, pieced together. Seams are bound with black binding. After the pieces are sewed and seams bound the front of the pillow is quilted with white thread in parallel rows Yi inch apart. The strip for the sides is cut 2 inches wide. It is quilted in parallel rows to match the top and the seams where back and front joi n the side boxing are bound with black binding.

Cx^ îne ^dea ! IF YOU have a relative or intimate friend to be married, start a rag bundle for her. Include in this bundle, soft old white cloths, pieces of silk and sateen, cotton goods such as muslin, outing and overall cloth if she is to be a farmer's wife, and any other that you think of. All of this will come in handy as a new housekeeper is lost when she needs cloth for various purposes. This can be presented in an attractive bag.—Mrs. A. R. B., Kansas. TF PLATES are heated before pies are * put on them, the undercrust will not get soggy. It is the hot pie on a cold plate which produces a sweat and makes the pie soggy.—Mrs. F. M. H., Indiana. TT IS difficult to catch a moth with the *¦ hands as it flies through the air. However, if the hands are moistened, the moth can easily be caught, as the nearness of a wet surface seems to have a paralyzing effect upon its wings.— Mrs. M. H., Iowa. WHEN cutting cheese for sandwiches or any use where it is desirable to have thin slices, try warming the knife before cutting. Bread will also cut better when knife is heated.—Mrs. G. E. S., Minnesota. FOR the little tot who is learning to dress herself , I find it a great help to mark each garment so that she can tell which is the front. I make a small cross with some thread which is easy to see, at top of bloomers and skirt and just inside of the neck of the dress.— Mrs. N. W., Indiana. WHEN replacing old elastic in bloomers and so forth, sew one end of the new elastic to one end of the old and then pull the other end of the old elastic. As the old is being pulled out, the new is being pulled in.—Mrs. G. M. F., Nebraska. FOR my recipe book I took six envelopes and pasted the lower edges together and then let them dry. Then for a cover, I cut thin cardboard which I covered with construction paper. The envelopes were then placed between the two covers and the back bound with a strip of cloth, and strips of paper pasted on the inside holds the envelopes to the pasteboard covers. Then I labeled each envelope.—G. H. K., Oklahoma. WHEN gathering fresh peas, use scissors to clip the stems. This is much quicker than pulling them off and it also avoids ruining the vines — E. J., Indiana. IF A nail is dipped in hot water before it is driven into a wall, the plaster will not be cracked, when it is driven in.— Mrs. A. S., South Dakota. TWO holders fastened on a tape one yard long and thrown about the neck while cooking, will save hunting for one and also burnt fingers—Mrs. M. E. B., Wisconsin.
