Wool Bed Covers
Dear Aunt Daisy, You have been speaking of bed covers from wool. I’ve made a number for the Lady Galway Guild, and they are very much admired, being light and ever so warm, I make little bags, 6in, square when finished, fill them with a handful of well-teased wool, and make an eyelet hole in the middle. This eyelet holds the wool and prevents it from getting lumpy, as well as making aeration holes for health’s sake. Any larger pieces of material are used in other quilts, making larger bags, filled with well-teased wool, and quilted on the machine; putting an eyelet in each division, Also, pieces too small for the bags are joined crazy fashion, just as shapes occur, and likewise filled, When washing the wool, I use a dessertspoonful of kerosene to each tubful of wool. It does help to remove that "sheepy" smell.
