It was an imporant part of every woman‘s dowry and a constant occupaâ€" tion for her after marriage. With the necessity of keeping guests overâ€"night in the old hardâ€"toâ€"travel days, every household of any size at all must be prepared with many beds for guests, so the housewife had to keep adding to the family supply of coverings.

But most middleâ€"class housewives made their own, spending their long, lonely evenings at the quilting frame, using the winter time to patch together the beautiful designs they achieved and then in the spring, calling their friends together for a "quilting bee" to carry out the old idea that many hands make light (and beautiful) work. The Quilting Bee The quilting bee was one of the most beloved social events of the 18th centâ€" ury and acquired a lore and polish all its own. ‘The ladies gathered early in the morning and set to work on the ~quilt with a will." The best of the hostâ€" _esses‘ cookery was brought forth for _the visiting needlewomen at noon, her pet beaten biscuits, her most succulent homeâ€"cured hams, her brilliant jellies and spiced preserves. . fact the quilting bee dinner would make any modern dess*rt bridge blush for shame. After the dinner, the ladies returned to their work and gossip. Around about four, they all stopped and set out to prepare supper. The men came in from the fields, the children gathered at the back door and in the front yard. And after supper, the quilting party often went on to square dances and group singing. It was quite a day and a lot of work had been done. . . .and in traâ€" dition for workâ€"withâ€"play carried on.

Form Necessary in All New Leases or Charges All in all a quilt, like a garden, is a lovesome thing, and deservimg of good care. The popularity of quilts, quite aside from their beauty, has always had a lot to do with their ability to snap back into puffy shape after many launâ€" deérings. Wash your quilts in the elecâ€" tric washer (alone, please) and never wring or whirl. Adjust the wet quilt in the line, matching corners carefully and allow it to drip dry. And of course ygu will never touch it with an iron. After each washing, however, it is a good idea to check the quilting stitches and quickly repair any little places that areâ€"coming unraveled. names and patterns persist, handed down from generation to generation.
