I use these needles, sometimes a larger one and sometimes not. After doing them I really think it’s how I feel that day !

I 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.

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.

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

Come back through again,
How to tie a quilt using yarn DO NOT cut yarn, travel to next knot and repeat.

Cut yarn

How to tie a quilt using yarn I do all the knots and then cut them all at the same time.

As I tie each one, I lay the yarn going down.

Cut ends to about 1/2″ to 3/4″ is way YOU like

Join Us For Tuesday Threads

It’s Tuesday Thread, where I am breaking down quilting techniques one stitch at a time!

Today, is the quarter square triangles, those clever little pieces that add movement quilt blocks. Sometimes called hourglass units, these triangles are made by combining two half square triangles and then slicing again. They’re perfect for stars, pinwheels, and any design that needs a touch of symmetry and flair.
I am taking the mystery away and showing you how to do it easily.

We have made a square, a triangle and some basic quilt info. NOW it’s time for some FUN quilt block patterns. Don’t over think these, just step by step.

Quarter Square Triangle

The Quilt Ladies teach you how to quilt.

Hand Sewing a Quilt Block – Tuesday Thread

Hand Sew a Quilt Block

Let’s do some hand piecing of a quilt block

I hand piece or hand quilt EVERY Monday at my small group quilting group. Really…I’m just to lazy to get my sewing machine carried in and set up, plus then I couldn’t walk over. A new member arrived last Monday and she asked LOTS of questions about hand piecing.
So, I’m re-posting my basic hand piecing class

I feel all quilter’s should at some time do hand piecing, I know you think I’m nuts, but it brings me back to the tradition of what quilters are all about. I try to do one every year or so. Your piece need not be a huge project, but please, try it.

This is my travel quilt box, would you believe it’s an old Ethel M Chocolate box from Las Vegas about 35 years ago. It has everything but scissors, you just can’t travel with them anymore. I have gotten into the habit of keeping it all together. This box has been on many vacations, fishing trips and even at baseball/football games in many towns, when the boys still lived with us.

Cut an assortment of fabric,

For one block you will need

8 – 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″

and

4 – 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″

I just cut a pile of each and put the colors together as I piece.

Mark a 1/4″ seam line on fabric back, I use a ruler and pencil.

Knot your thread and do a rocking stitch. After a bit you will not need the line, notice my thumb,

I use it as my measurement guide, some add a mark on their nail, but I don’t like messing up my nails, aka manicure !

I use a thread about 18-20 inches long and string piece, knotting at the beginning and end of each block. Finger piece them open.

Draw seam line if needed. Place good fabric to good, pin and sew.

Open and finger press. Add 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2′ to side.

Draw sewing line, Pin and sew on line,

Finger press to the outside.

Take 2 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ and draw sewing line on each end, sew to 1 1/2″ x 1 1/2″ Do 2 times.

Draw seam line if needed. Place good fabric to good, pin and sew.

This is the back of my hand pieced block.

Two finished blocks, each block has a finished size of 4″

Take some time, don’t take it all too serious, pick a comfy chair, good light and just have some HAND piecing fun.
