Cartoon - News She Excels OOSMi vis;- Making Quilts f BY LARRY 1 Mrs .NetUe .West of 100 South Rvpnth East street is not a stranger to the people of Provo, Some vears ago uhe was a young widow working for the support of herself and children. . For ten years she was a wait ress at the Roberta Hotel, and also a waitress for eight years at the Sutton Cafe. She has also done considerable home nursing. The lattet occupation, she claims, should have been her life work, bhe loves that work and was very successful in this labor of love. but instead of spreading out her affections over so many people, she decided to center it on' one person in particular, Mr. George west, and let it go at mai. -Contented and Iappy " We find her now,, resting on her oars, contented and happy with a good hubby by her side, and a good hobby at her finger tips, but irom the amount of fine needle craft she can display one might conclude that the . hobby is win ning out as far as attention is concerned, p' A - - ''- Mrs. West hasn't said much about her hobby, but I happened to hear that she was a number one quilter, and straightway proceeded pro-ceeded to imd out for myseif if it was true. . I . called on her' one afternoon and found her stitching away on some bright colored octagon shaped shap-ed percale pieces no bigger than a fifty cent piece. When they had reached their final stage of de sign and perfection they would be known as the Painted Daisy. "Oh dear," I said, jokingly, "tell me why you have selected . this tedious old-fashioned work as your hobby, why it's centuries ago when this iuea of putting a half million stitches into a single piece of fabric first came into people's heads." . "Ifes, I guess it is pretty ancient," anci-ent," she replied, "and some say it's all a lot of nonsense, - but -1 like to do - it. I would stay at home and make something useful than anything else I Know of, especially during : the winter months. Besides that, it satisfies partially my longing for beauty and art." - ''vsv-::-:? J Crocheted Bedspread :, ' - Her treasure chest of loveiy needle craft was now open and" 1 was beholding a marvelous piece of work in the form oi an ecru crocheted bedspread, which, I un derstand, is the. peak of accomplishments,' accomp-lishments,' for I every woman i who enters the handcrait field.' "How long did it take you to make it,. Mm. ; West ?' . "About six months of pretty steady work," she replied, "with pjlow cases and; dollies ; thrown in." ' ; o; ;;- . : "Coming back to the quilts, how many nave you maoe. to aate r ; a inquired, -.--v. - : , 'A- , i y .. . v . vWell, I have cut, pieced. and quUted at least 100. Some for myself my-self i and . family," and some for neighbors and friends. The latter pay. me well for the work they don't care to do themselves.". "But being left handed, as you are, how can you . manage to turn out this perfect workmanship; not a stitch out of place?". "What is it the Bible says about not letting your. right hand know what i your left ', hand is . doing? Well, that's the way I work. and I have no trouble at all, although it ; does look awkward to most people.'"- - . . , . -f i -. Several nice rugs lay about the room which she had just finished. One of them was an applique design de-sign and showed ; the practical use or old felt hats, and . heavy material, that ' Cannot be used 'for rugs in any other way. Otner Hobbles - - - Besides the . main hobby, Mrs'. West has several dangling hobbles such as raising flowers both out side and inside of the house. She loves the great 'out-of-doors, and enjoys hunting, fishing, and camping camp-ing in nature's rugged, beauty. - She rides horseback occasionally, occasional-ly, when out on mountain trips, but prefers driving her car. " She has traveled quite extensively in the United States, and is considered consid-ered a good driver; She drove her new Buick better than 7,000 miles along the Pacific : coast on one trip just recently. - , M.
