Here's some helpful hints
for the proper care of your
quilts from ,the crafts
specialists at the Ontario
Ministry of Agriqulture and
Food.
Before putting your quilts
away for the season,
carefully clean them by hand
or machine washing or dry
cleaning.
If you decide to wash,
choose a sunny day with a
slight breeze for quick
drying. Spot-clean any stains
before washing and let the
quilt soak in water for about
15 minutes. While the quilt is
soaking, dissolve your
detergent first in a bit of
water so that it won't stick to
the quilt and include softener
if the water is hard. Potir the
soap solution into the tub and
press down on the quilt to
loosen the dirt, Continue
doing this until the quilt is
clean.
When you're ready to
rinse, just lqt the soapy
water drain off the quilt, Fill
the tub again, repeat the
pressing motion, and con-
tinue rinsing until the water
is clear. Be sure to press out
the excess water, and lift the
whole quilt at once to reduce
strain on the threads. Dry it
on a flat surface or over a
series of clotheslines, to
allow air to circulate.
When washing by
machine, use a gentle cycle
and do not put the quilt
through the spinning motion.
As with hand washing, soak
the quilt for 15 minutes
before adding the soap
solution. The longer it stays
in the washing cycle, the
more strain is put on the
threads. Ten to 15 minutes
should be sufficient time to
clean most quilts.
- Between washings, remove
surface dust by vacuuming
with a soft brush at-
tachment.
If you prefer to have your
quilts dry-cleaned, chose a
reliable outlet. Make sure
that only fresh dry-cleaning
solvent is used, and that quilt
will not be pressed.
If you_ have a delicate
heirloom quilt and are not
sure how to clean it, try
contacting a textile expert
for advice. Personnel at
colleges or museums may be
able to help.
To repair holes, use apiece
of similar fabric and patch
the area using an invisible
slip stitch, sewing through
only one layer of fabric. If
the hole is in a pieced or
small applique shape,
Odds 'n Ends
Continued from page 6
Singer Anne Murray, one
of the few Canadian per-
formers who was a hit in
Canada before she
conquered the U.S., recalled
appearing at a Las Vegas
night club shortly after the
incident. In the middle of her
act, she mentioned she was
from Canada; someone in
the audience shouted`Thank
You, Canada' and a five-
minute standing ovation
followed.
At the winter Olympics in
Lake Placid, New York, the
Canadian athletes, got a
standing ovation when they
appeared in the opening
ceremonies.
Canadians and Amerians
have been friendly neigh-
bours for a long time, but
we're not accustomed to this
much attention. The
limelight will shift; the
applause will cease; people
will forget, but maybe
Canadians will retain an
extra spark of self-esteem
eh?

remove the whole piece of
fabric and replace it. If there
are any broken threads, use
a similar color and re-stitch
the area.
Fold the quilts loosely,
with the lining side out, and
cover with plastic or cotton
bags to protect them from
dust. To avoid permanent
creases, do not weigh them
down with heavy articles.
Store quilts in a Warm, dry
area; avoid cold, damp
basements and hot attics,
If you take these few
precautions your quilts will
look almost like new next
year, and , will also last
longer.
