Brother-Sister Quilts-Leaflet No. 12

By Edith B. Crumb.

Let me make you acquainted with this very young lady whose name is Judy. She surley is a dashing miss, and is the fifth in the series used for the Sister quilt.

I would suggest a rose and white material for the dress and hat crown. The brim, collar and socks may be of palest green Brown may be used for the shoes and orange for the soles.

The arms, legs and face will be sun tan and the hair red.

Pin and baste the pieces in this order: First, the face and neck; then the two tiny pieces of hair. There is a small roll of this at the back of the neck and on the forehead. Next the brim of the hat is to be placed and basted; then the arms and legs and the dress. Finally come the socks and shoes, the crown of hat, the collar and the soles of the shoes.

The block is to be duplicated for its appearance in a later row.

New color schems, furniture grouping, or some phase of home beautification appears in the "Beauty in the Home" column by Edith Crumb every day in
