Does anyone else

My family made "comforters" out of wool pieces, backed with flannel. They were all tied. I still have a few of them. My Mom pieced a quilt with polyster knit material. It is too thick to quilt so I will tie it. It is red, white and blue and very pretty. I'm going to tie it with Perle Cotton #3.

I used to help my grandma tie quilts which she had sewn from fortrel fabric or wool clothing. I still have them and they are 40+ years old and other than the occaisionally one coming undone, they are still beautiful and useful quilts. I wish I had her quilt frame and I would tie the one every once in a while. They are old-fashioned but it brings back many wonderful memories of her.

I tie all my quilts, I made 10 so far. I love the old timey look. Not to mention I do not have a long arm and would not even try quilting on my regular sewing machine. So for me it works for now---one day I will get the nerve to try it---live and learn new things every day!!!
