Mrs. Halstead says she has made about 50 quilts in the past severalyears. Just last winter alone she made nine, in addition to the myriad oflovely rugs she braided.
Since quilt-making has become so popular again, many of her relativessend her scraps of materials, she says. One bundle received required$1.65 for postage.
All patterns for her braided rugs are her original ideas. She hasntcopied a one. An theyre lovely things with both delicately and brilliantblended colors. One especially attractive one was an iris pattern ofpurple and green which was made ou t of the tops of cotton stockings.
Another red, black and green rug had only one dyed piece of material, andthat was her sisters going-away dress.
Mrs. Halstead has made more than 100 rugs recently. Her sister-in-lawshas 25 of Mrs. Halsteads rugs in her home.
