How to Mend a Quilt

I’m always on the look out for old quilts and IF I think I can save them I purchase them. They have to be washable and usable, nothing better to me no matter the temperature is a quilt to cuddle in. This is the Quilt AFTER, I am sharing this from my Quilt Ladies site, this post is NUTS on Pinterest !

Starting NEW

Last year at this time I was all done in…Completely exhausted and all I could think of to help me get stronger was to close out The Quilt Ladies Store.

BIG, BIG mistake, about 3 month of that, I was going a bit crazy with nothing to focus my time and mind on. To say the least I missed every bit of the site, the store and all of you. SO after doing some research and figuring out what I need to do for me, here I go.

The Quilt Ladies Quilt Pattern shop is on Etsy and if you have my patterns, you know they are priced very reasonable and are complete quilt patterns and quilt blocks with all cutting and sewing instructions.

The Quilt Ladies Books are still on KINDLE and NOOK, see the links on the side right or just click above. 

I’ve moved over to WordPress mostly to make everything just a bit more mine. Here you own everything, so I’m going to TRY and jump in with both feet. I THiNK ??   

I wanted to keep www.thequiltladies.com just….because?? You will see things from that site here. And…Well, truthfully I just don’t think I could move the site over by myself. 

I decided I just needed to start New !

Everything NEW will be here, www.bethanndoing.com   please bookmark me, sign up and stop over all the time. 


I’ve figured out the newsletter thing… I will NOT overwhelm you with anything,  sign up….please, I promise to send out only really good things. Probably quilt patterns and ideas, I’m still in the, “What do you want to see?” just let me know in comments. 

So….Here I go, I hope to do this well and I love to hear from you, it’s always nice to know you are with me, ONLY is Kindness, that has not changed.  Sign up for my newsletter.  If you’d like notice of new posts, that sign up is on the right side bar. (couldn’t figure out how to move it over here into the post???)

AND as always, THANK  YOU

Beth Ann
