I love watching you, the music is so distracting for old folks like me (86) but still I will watch!
Your video is the 3rd one I watched on how to do this block. The way you broke it down makes so much more sense than anyone else’s instructions. Thanks so much.
I prefer this method as well! I saw one where they are a 16 pc patchwork, and then they added the rest, same result, but I do prefer this!
Miss Holt, wondering if this could be made QAYG? I only have a domestic and have been experimenting with QAYG, sure would like to tackle this if I could! Thank you!
Lori Holt's closet = goals for the rest of us. Nicely done, Lori. Love it that you now have your own channel.
Thank you for this pattern. I'm emptying my box of 2 1/2. inch squares.
I’d like to have my own fabric line too 😁👍
Lori wh aas t is the fabric you have covering your ironing boards?
If I live another 25 years ( currently 74) I’ll never have this much material or be as organized but I hope 🤞
@@joanmacleod1362 A gal can dream!
I've been sewing for 37 years, but I'm new to quilting. In ONE video you taught me more than I learned in a 6 week quilting class! LOVE THIS SO MUCH !❤
I can’t even begin to tell you how much I loved this video! From your scrappy storage techniques to piecing the block with your tips- it was so inspirational! Looking forward to this series!! Many thanks!
Wow - That's not just organization, but beautiful organization...!
All quilters have their own styles though they may use blocks that have existed for years. I like watching various quilters as I get to see different quilts which are of great quality and beauty. Lori Holt has her own style too and I like the quilt she makes. This new video channel is going to be great too.
Hello from Maine. Lori, I remember several years back going to a large fair in New Hampshire with a DIL, whom I had taught how to quilt. There happened to be several quilts made which I remember as being reminiscent of your Farm Girl quilts. Each had their own delightful personalized touches. We lingered there awhile and just enjoyed.
Several days ago I saw the #13 video in your series pop up which I watched because I love log cabin blocks. I absolutely loved the video . Since I’m a retired registered nurse and quite organized I have a similar system as yours but tailored to my smaller space. Happy I finally came up with one that works well for my but I always seen to come up with a nugget or two from watching other quilters. I made 2 design bards for myself but really love your finishing touch around the edges, just need to get some rubber fingers before tackling that project. (and never knew about silicon fingers before your video).
I loved #13 so much that I’m going to enjoy the entire series as I’m a dedicated scrap quilter. I enjoy an occasional jelly roll but my main love affaire is scrap quilts. Think I got it from sleeping under my Grandma Knowles quilts in the unheated 2nd floor of their farmhouse. One of my favorite memories. And she belonged to the grange so I was able to visit and help her in the days leading up their small town yearly fair. I thank you for your time and your passion for quilting. I know it takes time to prepare and publish videos and I for one am truly appreciative. Love from Maine.
I am very much a novice quilter and just made this block, it's my first ever quilt block so I am quite proud. Although it has MANY MANY faults I know learning has taken place and I will keep practising before I dare to use any of my new Lori Holt fabric! Now I need a little fabric roller in my life for the seams!!!
Oh to have Lori's closet and skills! I'd settle to just be as easy going and laid-back as she is. I seem to always be rushed and anxious lol... #life goals=be like Lori!
lol I know exactly what you mean! 🤣
As a new quilter, I have learned so much from your videos. You are such a good teacher. Thank you
Love your aqua machine, the aqua nails, and oh yeh... the aqua cupboard.... Think there may be a theme here? lol. I'm so impressed with your organization. Lots of good help there. Thanks for all your great tips.
As a self taught gal, (2 years) you and your books have made me excited to finish a project. First time ever! Thank you for your wonderful instructions and inspiration. You make my gloomy days sunny ❤
I used to quilt quite a lot,but stopped several years ago,but now you've inspired me to pick it back up,and i've always loved scrappy quilts.I have a ton of fabrics here as i worked in a quilt store for over 10 years before i retired.Now if there's any way you can add more hours to my day,i'd sure appreciate that.LOL.That quilt is going to be beautiful,and i love the way you organize everything.Great video..Thank You.
I had several fat quarters I wanted to use up but lacked the proper pattern for them. I tried them in one and they just didn't work. When I came across this pattern it was GOLD! I've been working in it this weekend for a summer picnic quilt for my little grandchildren, 6, 4, and 1. They'll be over in the morning to see if the size needs to be added to or just completed. I've made it five by five blocks plus borders. Thank you for sharing this pattern!
I love that you have decided to do a you tube channel, I love your instruction, thank you.
Your calm, confident narration makes be believe I can do this, too! “Sew” I will!
I am 86 and ' thought I knew everything' WHY did it take so long to find YOU I am so glad that I did will look at every thing that you have done thanks Joanie White
I am going through the series now and have been greatly inspired by your creativity and your sewing room. Have you thought about doing a scrappy sampler quilt of all your tutorials that have been shown in the stash series? Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge, you are a gifted teacher. Makes quilting seam so doable for anyone.
It's so wonderful to see how you set things up, and how you organize your stash....everything you do is just so clever!!! I just love the Scrappy Crossroads Block...it reminds me of quilts my Granny used to make, she always loved the four patch and it was the very first thing she taught me. This series is going to be such fun!! Thank You, Lori!!!
Nice! Not too little not too much talking--just right, and all informative. Your subtle marketing that is imbedded in this one little vlog is very amazing. Good work!
Thank you so much Lori! I love this block - and I know that with all my scraps I can make a beautiful project. It's so much fun to watch your tutorials! All the pretty colors, doo-dads - colorful featherweight! You just make it all so much fun! Thank you! Patti
I like this block I've always been drawn to it thank you for showing us how it's peace.❤
Thank you Lori, I loved watching this. You are so organised. I am ashamed to say my stash is a mess. I am going to follow along on this journey.
Love that you joined you tube. As a beginner quilter, this tutorial is wonderful. You have a beautiful teaching style and I can't wait to make the block. Thank you!
🤗 I like to make just the single block and use it as a wall hanging. Thank you Lori!
Thank you for showing the behind the scenes of scrap maintenance, it’s very useful to see how to arrange these items.
Lori, thank you for this series... I have lots of scraps...thanks for sharing how you organize your scraps...stay safe...
Thanks Lori. I love your beautiful stash! Blessed
Thank you for sharing how you have things organized
I'm so excited that you are doing this series. I love simple old fashion quilts. I'm making the design boards and some for my quilting buddy she'll love them.
Love this series and the block is really darling. I can truly see the use of the project boards. I use them in cross stitch but I will either make or buy some bigger ones, these videos are great. Thank you for sharing. I love the music and the different colored featherweights and your organization.
This was the first video I watched Lori actually sew. And I absolutely love that she does not have a fancy new computerized sewing machine. I always feel so left behind, watching videos with the automatic back stitch and thread cutter, or all the other fancy gizmos. But if Lori can do it without all the bells and whistles, maybe I can too!
Thank you!! You certainly can do it:) I love to use my featherweight for piecing...it just has a straight stitch which is all you need for that. When I do machine quilting or need a “fancy” stitch I use my Bernina ❤️
Beautiful quilts were made by hand and treadle machines you can make quilts anyway you like that’s what’s so awesome about it. It was always a case of make do with what you had.
I read somewhere a feedsack company that made flour found out women were using the sacks to make clothes. So they started making them with pretty prints which is where we get the gorgeous 1930s prints we all love. 💕 log cabins were used to show signals quilt history is very interesting good luck with it. Hand work is very therapeutic if you want to give it a go. Just a needle and thread and 1/4 inch ruler plus fabric and pencil is all you need
So glad to add you to my favorites on YT. LOVE how you are so thrifty with your time & thread by always sewing squares/ triangles together. Thanks for inspiring all of us.
From the fun music to the gorgeous array of colors, I had a smile on my face the whole time watching this. COVID knocked me down for awhile but you’ve inspired me to get back to doing what makes my heart happy. Thank you for making these videos.
So happy about your You tube channel...... This will definitely be one of my favorites to watch......Thanks for keeping it short and simple. Although we love to hear about the lives of all the you tubers we are here for the quilt information. You have a very calming voice and I love the interaction between you and Kimberly. I hope you two can get together soon. Stay safe and healthy. Hugs from Minnesota
Kathy Guenther I agree and I love Lori’s work. I also watch Karen at Just Get it Done channel. Great tips and her more recent videos are straight to the point (not so much her early ones 😬)
Hello from Brazil!
Even I have not so good English, I am beem able to understand and LOVING YOUR WORK! How much I lerned with only one video! Thanks and kisses!
Great teacher,you can tell you have also had great parents! Very creative ideas and technics ! THANK YOU!!
Oh, I wish to be as organized as Lori some day🥰 love this quilt block sew much🤗
So excited for this series and your own you tube channel. You are an amazing teacher. Thank you for sharing. I am now inspired to go through my scraps
I love this series so much! I rewatch them often!
You have the best scraps, of course, it’s your fabrics!! Love your videos. You are so inspiring. Thank you and looking forward to more of your videos.💕❤️🌻❤️💕
Thank you for making this video and showing us your scrap storage system! It has inspired me to implement the same system, which I can tell is very efficient and minimizes wastage. I also really appreciate you showing us your work space setup and sewing techniques using a camera angle that allows me to see things being done from the sewer's viewpoint/perspective. (i.e facing their machine and projects). I love that you were able to demonstrate your workspace setup - designed incredibly well to maximize the amount of piecing, ironing, HST and folded corners done per unit time. It is so much faster without having to get out of your sewing chair to iron, trim, etc. Just doing this alone would triple my speed. I'm looking forward to your future tips and tricks in upcoming videos! Thank you again for your generosity in taking the time to do make these tutorial videos. I know that I and other viewers will gain very useful knowledge and skills as we view each one!
Thank you so much Lori for all your inspiration and sharing with the quilting, crossstitch, crafting world.💝
I don't have a big stash, but I do have a small one. I am going to have to work on that! I love your fabrics, and ideas, and I am looking forward to watching all of your videos. Thank you. I am also going to make some small,, and one big, design board.
Love your directions! So easy to follow! I am in the process of building my Lori Holt fabric stash. It reminds me of my grandmother and since I have received much of her kitchen stuff and her china/barware, it just seems fitting! Thank you for doing these videos!
I am exactly the same Vicki. I'm in luv with Lori's fabrics
Thank you Lori for helping me learn ways to use my scraps! I love this block!
An absolute joy to watch. Love scrappy quilts! Thank you for sharing your work.
I love the organization scrappy quilt blocks. I would never think of going natural linen color. It does look great but does not pull away from the colors in the other fabric
Lori. Thank you so much. Love all your f books and fabrics. Thank you again for sharing so much with all you fans.
Love your tube channel. I look forward to many blocks and tutorials. Thank you
Loved the way you have organized your scraps into strips and squares. Excellent. Thanks for sharing.
Waiting for your new videos to arrive. Thanks for sharing your experience
Hi Lori! Thank you! Great tutorial!
I happen to see some white foam board while at the dollar tree yesterday. I didn't realize they carried it. When I saw it, I instantly thought of the design boards that you showed how to make in another video. So I'm going to give it a try. I think they will be a great help. Thanks for all the great tips and pleasant tutorials!
I Love The Way You organised your stuff by colour by size that really fantastic I am inspired I very much inspired I am gonna copy you
How fun!! Lovely closet ideas. And I surely LOVE your green featherweight!! 💚💚💚
You make it look so easy! I'm glad you are using up you leftovers and have them all organized in such a way to create a new quilt. Do you ever make lap quilts for Nursing Homes? Or Pediatric Wards? Do you ever make Aprons from scraps sewn together? Notebook covers? Handbags? Little girls skirts? Teapot cozies? Hotpads? Dogbed covers? And the list goes on!! TFS.😊 👍 💖
Love that you are using a Singer Featherweight! I have 10 of them and use the exclusivily for eveything I sew. This block is my next project. Thanks for the Tutorial!
Wonderful, colorful, informative, concise and ins pairing video, Lori!! Thank you so much!
I'm impressed with your instruction style (direct and informative) and all your clever inventions to assist with sewing. I'm buying one of your Seams Sew Easy Guide (how smart)! Love this block. Thanks.
I made this block and I can’t wait for the next one. Thank you so much Lori Holt.
What an informative and COLORFUL site!. Thank you.
Just watch Lori has changed my thinking and sewing style. Thanks for sharing all the tips and techniques.
I am glad I seen your tutorials. I have saved a lot of thread by following your tutorials. Thank you very much. I will keep watching. Sandra B.
These are so fun to watch Lori thank you so much! I can’t wait for the other videos
Thank you so much for this video... I have started cutting my stash up like yours but now I need to begin sewing them up.
Lovely!!! I do try to organize my straps, but have not mastered anything as beautiful as yours stash!!! I will try harder........ I only today found your youtube video. Too bad because I would love to follow and sew along with your scrappy blocks. I am going to catch up and continue along. At least that is my goal. Thanks for the tips and sew along opportunity. I believe I will be on the road to leveling my stash piles. Stay safe.
I have 4 or 5 containers of scraps and I plan on trying your method and I love that block. Thank you Lori you have given me much needed inspiration to get things in my sewing room more organized
You may that look so simple! I will enjoy making one of these! Ty!
I have enjoyed all of your sew your stash videos. Thank you for showing us how to make these blocks. I eagerly come home from work eager to try each block. This one is next. I guess you can tell I didn’t watch the videos in order. Thank you. I’ve learn a lot.
Hank you Lori, your videos are great. I've recently started sewing blankets n find you've been a great help. I did three blocks using the strip method and I'm so happy with results. Really glad I found you on the tube. Again, thanks for the instruction videos.
I am so glad you decided to do a UA-cam channel. I am such a fan of all you do. I love this video! Keep up the good work.
what an organised stash! I feel so much better that my stash though unorganized, is ok, that it's not too many fabrics. 😸🌷👍
Thank you so much Lori for this tutorial ! Now I want to make one quilt like yours. I love your UA-cam channel.
Thank you. Really enjoying your new UA-cam videos. I need to get busy and cut all of my leftover fabrics into usable sizes.Right now they are stored in 2-gallon plastic bags by color and stored inside bins under my work tables. Not ideal since the bins are heavy. Trying to figure out a better way to store them. Certainly cutting them to various sizes should help reduce some of the weight. At least that's my hope. I love the quilt block you made in the video. Seeing it in a full quilt is very inspiring. Definitely on my list of quilts to make.
I enjoyed & loved this block a lot. Keep up Lori with ur wonderful work👍
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE This video. I can't wait for the next one. More videos please!!!!
Lori you inspire me!!! Thanks for sharing your talents with us!!! ❤️🧵😊
Oh, goodness!! Your idea to sew 2-patches in-between is genius! I’m always having to waste time chasing my top thread when I start back up a chain of piecing and it drives me nuts! Thank you!! ❤️
It is called a thread kitty.
Yay, 2.5 in. The all around wonder shape, always ready to be seen into a quilt. I love it. Thank you.
Oh my gosh what I wouldn't give for a beautiful sewing room like yours.. It is beautiful!! You have set it up just perfect for creating your beautiful quilts.. Thank you so much for sharing your space It is gorgeous... I found it to be so inspiratual. Looking forward to more videos and tutorials..

I cant wait for your scrappy segment, Iots of scraps and I feel so guilty tossing them. Thank you for your video.
Lori, I can't believe I have not watched your You Tube videos before this. I'm a first timer. What a great video! I love that you don't yell at us while your teaching. Your skills for teaching one of my favorite blocks was so through and complete. You can bet I'll be seeing more of your videos for I just subscribed. I already have a number of your patterns and books.
Love your closet! Looking forward to hearing how you choose fabrics for your stash! THanks for making this tutorial!
