T HERE seems to be no corner in the house where the decora tors’ art is not applied.. Closets used to be drab and dreary places 1 but now they are bedecked in scalloped shelf edgings, gay gar ment bags and bright hat boxes. Dresser drawers are also perking up. Time was when a clean news paper was put in the bottom of a drawer every so often, and the date of the one removed pro claimed how long it had been BA$rc MUSLIN MACHINE QUIIJER GLAZED CHINTZ COTTON SHEET WADDING ZJ BIAS BINDING-! since this housewifely task had been performed. Now, we make pads to fit the drawers. We scent them with our favorite sachet and / find infinite joy in their soft color ings. Machine quilting is just the thing to give the pads the stiffness and body they require so that they will lay flat in the bottom of the drawer and not wrinkle up. 1 Glazed chintz in a plain soft blue with darker blue bindings is used for the pads made to fit the chest of drawers shown here. Thin mus lin is used for the backing and sheet wadding for the padding. When all three layers of material have been cut the right size, baste them together. The first row of basting is run diagonally across the center and then the rows are spaced about six inches apart as shown. Here also is a sketch of a machine quilter in operation. It is merely a foot with an indicator attached. The-end of the indicator runs along each previous row stitched making an accurate gauge for the spacing of the quilt ing. After the pads are quilted, bind the edges as shown. NOTE: Mrs. Spears’ Book 2— Gifts, Novelties and Embroidery, has helped thousands of women to use odds and ends of materials and their spare time to make things to sell and to use. Book 1— SEWING, for the Home Decora tor, is full of inspiration for every homemaker. These books' make delightful gifts. Mrs. Spears will autograph them on request. Crazy-patch quilt leaflet is includ- ' ed free with every order for both books. Books are 25 cents each. Address Mrs. Spears, 210 S. Des- plaines St., Chicago, 111. CONSTIPATED?
