A Decorating "Hug"Written by Arleen M. Kaptur
Continued from page 1
You might notice that people choose chair or table near quilt and finger thread and texture lovingly. Its friendship and hospitality all brought together with needle and thread, a lot of creativity and imagination, and no matter where you purchase your quilt, they are made by someone who loves what they do and wants to share a "welcome" to whoever purchases their work. So invest in quilts and add that very special decorating item to your home - you'll be amazed at many uses you will find for it and many times you find yourself using its wonderful "hugging" effect.
