How to Tie a Quilt with Yarn

This quilt post just keeps going and going. I’m re-posting it as I think to tie a quilt is a quick way to finish a quilt which is to be loved and used. 

As with everything I’m sure there are a few ways of doing a tied quilt, this is the way “I” do it.  

Please like, pin and share, or stop over at The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern Shop

How to tie a quilt using yarn I use these needles, sometimes a larger one and sometimes not. After doing them I really think it’s how I feel that day ! 
How to tie a quilt using yarnI like to use, “Peaches and Cream” yarn, soft but NOT TOO soft, it has to be to hold the knot. 

How to tie a quilt using yarn

 I like my cutting mat UNDER the quilt, so I don’t push through and chip my table top.

How to tie a quilt using yarn

Cut yarn about 30 inches long one thickness. 

From the side you will see the knot, go down and up, going though, top, batting and backing. 

How to tie a quilt using yarn

Pull needle through, leave about a 2 inch tail form the first knot.

How to Mend an Old Quilt – Beth Ann Doing

I receive an email like this about three times a month. LONG ago, when home with kids this is what I did. I repaired old quilt, PLEASE, remember this is NOT a quick project, but so worth your time, how to mend an old quilt. 

The Question: “I am trying to repair a quilt my mother made me for my wedding 48 years ago the bindings were torn by so much use as well as some of her beautiful star patches, I have separated the binding am not sure how to replace some triangle patches of her lone star quilt can you advise me I am a beginner have been watching a lot of videos decided I would start with this beautiful quilt that needs some fixing so I can hand it down to my daughter she adored her grandmother”  

How to Repair an OLD Quilt  I ALWAYS wash quilts before I mend, this one turned out 
VERY nice, they usually do ! I am doing 100% cotton quilt, usually from  1940-50’s THEY ARE NOT MUSEUM QUALITY QUILTS, THEY ARE LOVED AND USED QUILTS. PLEASE USE COMMON SENSE AND DO NOT EMAIL YOUR NASTY COMMENTS ABOUT OLD QUILTS AND WASHING. I HAVE HEARD IT ALL.  That being said, really who wants to work on, use, repair or sleep under a dirty quilt??? These are LOVE quilts. 

 Three blocks in this quilt needed attention,
