Vernon. STITCHING WITCHERY Dear Betty: I read in our paper about the use of double- knit scraps in quilts. I've made two now. Do you remember the crazy quilts our mothers used to make? I fitted and sewed my "crazy" scraps to 16-inch squares of old sheets. This method uses all sizes of pieces and can be done on tlie machine.

Sew the blocks together after pressing and make the quilt any size you need. It needs no filler since it is so warm without. I used a permanent press sheet for tlie lining. I made my daughter one a few months ago and it washes beautifully. The one I just finished will be sold at the church sale, so wish me luck! Grace Bigson, Springview, Neb.

No need to wish you luck, Grace. A quilt like tliat will sell before the doors open. It sounds so lovely. Thank you for sharing. QUICK STITCH: Can you get your hands on a copy of the September, 1973, is.sue of Consumer's Researdi Magazine? It has a very good article on sewing machines they tested.

Might be worth looking into. Questiuus may be addressed to Mrs. Betty W. Kiu- ser, Stitching Witchery, Copley News Service, lu care of this newspaper. XX x'X'x JOIN SECURITY'S TODAY TO $10.00 PER WEEK RECEIVEA FREE GIFT! SECURITYBANK TRUST CO.

I have seen a good many Christmas cards that have some kind of glittering. powderlike substance on them. I have been told this is glass. If so, would it be harmful in the hands of children? And, if so, shouldn't they be taken off the market? A. The substance is not glass, but a ground plastic with iridescence.

It is not harmful in simple handling, but if played with too much it might come loose. And whUe no known toxic result has been reported, no foreign matter is healthy for children, pets, or adults to swallow in quantity. Excessive handling of Christmas cards with glitter on them is undesirable, but not necessarily a matter for a ban on all use of them. NATURALIZER.
