She has tried many various ways of putting together the quilfs and has now written a book of instructions for tying quilts in various When one has made enough quilts, one may then write about it. That's just what Claire Field of Farmington has done. She is now working on her 210th quilt, and has written a book. ways. THE 32-PAGE paperback book is entitled "Tie It, You'll Like It" and has many suggestions sugges-tions for numerous ways of tying quilts and some with very original ideas. Mrs. Field suggests sug-gests that they should often be tied on the underside of the quilt for an elegant look for the top. Sometimes with a printed fancy material, the tying on top makes the pattern "too busy." She tells how to tie the fastest fas-test knot, how to set up a quilt by yourself, and many other time saving steps, with many of her original ideas which she has worked out over the years. Sleep under a new quilt for many great dreams and to keep warm. ONE CHAPTER is devoted to "Things You Have Around the House to use for a Quilt" and her children often request patches or special designs from thseir clothing to be put on their quilt, a very unique way of saving their memorabilia. memor-abilia. There are ways of recycling by using old levis, fancy zippers zip-pers and even the flies from the levis which are often decorative, decora-tive, all for the modern quilt maker. There are also charts in the book describing the batting which is best to use, charts to describe sizes of frames and many other interesting ideas of making quilts. THE QUILTS may be made out of practically any material which is strong enough, even old linen tablecloths and napkins nap-kins no longer being used in the home, and Mrs. Field tells just how to use them. Costs of materials can cut the overall cost of the quilt. There is nothing on the market mar-ket which compares with the information Mrs. Field gives in this book. She has written detailed de-tailed instructions to put the uniform squares together and in the fastest way. THERE IS also a chart showing how to piece together new fabrics for bedspread quilts. These quilts are very warm in the cold weather and several may be used instead of using some type of heat to keep warm. This is a very interesting interest-ing hobby and is so practical when there are children whose beds need new coverings, kj |
