Make a Quilt Block Pattern using ONLY Squares with Beth Ann

When new to quilting I always say, “It’s only a square.” Start with a quilt block using Squares. Don’t over think it, it’s a square.  Here is my how to link for making squares, using freezer paper, I never think purchasing a cutting mat, ruler and rotary cutter in the first thing you need to purchase for quilting. Have a working sewing machine, good sewing thread and the best 100% cotton fabric you can afford.   AND ALWAYS ASK AROUND, friends will loan you a sewing machine, most will help with threading it, teaching you to sew a straight line, it can become an adventure

Blue and White Quilt Pattern Day

 Meeting EVERY Tuesday to quilt is My Ladies. Doing large projects to small ones, they come together with baskets of fabric, ideas and laughter. “The Ladies”  
They talked about it from time to time, doing a quilt pattern book and finally it was time to draw out their favorite quilt blocks and share them with all of you.
All the quilt blocks stitched together, a quilt design (finished quilt measures 76″ x 84″ ) and that’s what became
“The Ladies” Quilt Pattern Book. 
The Ladies: IN Print and eBook too: 
Here is one of the Quilt Patterns from the book. The book has  68 quilt blocks, with a finished size of eight inches by eight inches.  Here is my tutorial on How “I” make my triangles

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 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,
