I thought I was on the wrong page. The last video I saw you had short hair. You’re picture shows you with long hair, glasses and thinner. You look so pretty. I know it’s you, I recognize your voice. Thanks for all you do. I purchased your book, Scrappiness is Happiness!
Guess What? For Christmas I received a 1950 Featherweight Sewing Machine, and lots of attachments, from my husband. It is black, not fancy like yurs, but it makes me happy just to look at it. But, now I need to learn how to use it.
My late engineer husband used to also use the same expression, "what are you building?" Either a guy thing or engineer thing! 😅 Bless their hearts!♥️ Love 'em!
I appreciate you saying its ok to jump in late. I did see the bee tutorial. I guess I missed the mushroom tutorial. hmmm??? They all look so nice and cute! This is my goal this year to do a quilt along. Wish me luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
Hello! Just click on my videos so that you can see all of my tutorials...it's also helpful to click on the description box of this video where I have linked to other of my block tutorials for this sew along as we go!
I like that your blocks are usually 6" and 12" finished, so I can take any of them from your books and make my own sampler quilts. Really like this one and need to make a pillow for my granddaughter with this design. You got me started using the clapper, and the difference in my blocks is amazing. Thank you.
I know I will keep watching! I have learned SEW Much from you Lori. I was terrified of this block when I saw it in the book. It just looks so hard. But you did your magic & broke it down into an easy to follow pattern. Thanks!
Happy to have you and Cassie back! Congrats to all for the new family member! Sew glad you explained the difference between this block and the pineapple block. Sew good to know your reasoning.
I’m making three of your quilts, Lori, making my way thru Scrapiness is Hapiness! You are so easy to follow and I love your style. My two daughters are getting full sized quilts and I’m doing as big as I can make Criss Cross Star Block quilt for our king bed fingers crossed 🤞 😅
I love how you cut up your “off cuts”! Doing it as you go is such a good idea. I’m late to start doing this but will spend a few hours a week cutting up my huge bags of random size scraps. Thank you so much for your incredible tutorials.
I have been watching and have the scrappiness is happiness book but have been making so many donation quilts for people and gifts, I think now I am able to jump in and get caught up. I was afraid of this quilt….but after the tutorial makes it seem doable.😊 Thank you so much for your tutorials, i look forward to them every time! Happy New Year.
I just started and will try to catchup. When I first saw it, I was “goodness, it seems hard!” But it isn’t as you explained it. Wow, can’t wait to catch-up.
Is there a video showing how you cut up a fat quarter for one of your quilts? I'm starting on the My Happiness Quilt, and having some issues with cutting up the fat quarter in order to get all the pieces required. Thank you so much for all your tutorials. They are amazing.
I have your book, made some design boards, and I am currently working on getting my scraps in order using your tips. I’m looking forward to the point I can start making these darling blocks. Thank you!
Just found your channel a couple of weeks ago - love your style. I started quilting in July. Have lots to learn, did finish a lap quilt for 3 of my great grands for Christmas and have been interested in doing a “quilt along”. So, thank you for letting us know that it’s ok to join in late. Thanks so much for your videos.
Good Evening Lori, Happy New Year to you and your family! I bet you have been enjoying your new little Grandson 🥰 👏 during this holiday season. Congratulations to Kass and her husband. I love babies. ❤️❤️❤️ Thank you for sharing this tutorial on this block, very helpful. Have a wonderful beginning to this new year. ☺️ 🥰 Chris
Happy New Year Lori! I’m so happy to see your cheerful face on your videos! Thank you for sharing your love of all things quilty with us. This QAL has been super fun.
So Super Lovely -- I think this one would be super fun as a quilt so it is going on the list for this year. Scap_P_Apple it is. Happy New Year!! To your family Ms Lori - and I am sure we are all excited to hear about the grandbaby.
Thanks so much! That is my Calico Snails Kit from my new fabric collection called Calico. Here is the link to my video where I show and tell all things Calico! 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/ws3cf3UEKtw/v-deo.html
I’m excited to finish our remix series. I’ve stayed caught up all year. Can’t wait to get the last 2 blocks and then the setting or sash in abd borders!
@@LoriHolt Lori tx, I love everything you do. Can't wait to start the spools quilt. I bought my fabric. You are amazing and wish I could do them all! I setup my scrap like you showed us. It is so easy to find what I need now. But hate to cut your fat quarter bundles. Never know what you'll surprise us with. Ha ha
Lori: do you make your clothing? Your green gingham top is so pretty. Your clothing always matches or has the colors used in your videos. So very pretty.
Well. I definitely should have watched this BEFORE I started the block! From now on, your voice will be there saying “ Open it up and check before you trim”. It certainly does not look as good when you attach the triangle squares in the wrong place!!. Thanks Lori
Hi Lori. I'm New here.I love this block. I never thought that it's so easy to make it. Could you tell me the name of this wood block that you put in after open the sewing seams? Where I can find it? I live in Brazil . Tks for sharing.
Great block and explanation. You make it look easy. Also…love the quilt on the sofa , is that a snail quilt and where can we find that pattern. I need to get this book❤
Thanks sew much!😀 That is my Calico Snails Kit from my new fabric collection called Calico. Here is the link to my video where I show and tell all things Calico! ❤ ua-cam.com/video/ws3cf3UEKtw/v-deo.html
Watched the video while having my morning coffee 😃 I bought the book back in November, but been too busy to get the time for sewing until now. Hopefully I’ll be able to start on the quilt I’m planning to make very soon, and dig out my scrap bins from the moving boxes 😅 I love your scrappy little quilt under your sewing machine btw, that one really caught my attention 😍 Do you have a pattern for it? Happy sewing 😊💕
Thank you sew much! Yes I do have a tutorial for that sewing mat within my Sew Your Stash Series here on my channel. The video for that is called Quick Broken Dishes. I hope this info helps! 😀
Hi Teri 😀 No I do not pre-wash as I don't find it necessary anymore as we now have excellent quality fabric to sew with and have not had any problems:)❤
@@LoriHolt You are a gem! I will take that advice and start immediately. Love following you, my friend and I are in Colorado, we are addicts, she gets mad when I forward your videos, only because we cant keep up with you...She will appreciate your advice, and thank you for sharing your talents, we love you.
Hi Judy! That is my Calico Snails Kit from my new fabric collection called Calico. Here is the link to my video where I show and tell all things Calico! 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/ws3cf3UEKtw/v-deo.html
I have a couple questions how many boxes of scrap fabric do you save and what are the sizes of them. Second the board you put the cut pieces on are they hand made ? This is my first time watching your video and I just loved it. You are a great teacher. Thank you very much.
Lori has a video on how she makes the design boards or you can buy them on Fat Quarter shops web site. I believe Lori also has a video on her scrap baskets and the sizes she cuts her scraps. Lori also has a blog which has a ton of information
I have a question about the new project panel. I bough one from a local shop and the tabs are printed differently than the panel on fat quarter shop and the panel on the first panel that you did. The panel I have has solid lines down the middle center horizontal and vertical and Shaw after being sewn. Is this correct? My local shop contacted Riley Blake and they said it was correct/approved. So I guess I need to buy from a different shop to get a panel with the dotted lines? Just wanted to verify.
Yes!!!... I certainly do keep my leftover triangles to use later...I just don't keep them in the triangle shape anymore, I cut them up into usable size squares instead because I have found that works better for me because I use squares in my scrappy projects all the time!😀
Hi Kelly! Thank you so much.That is my Calico Snails Kit from my new fabric collection called Calico. Here is the link to my video where I show and tell all things Calico! 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/ws3cf3UEKtw/v-deo.html
Hi Donna! I'm thinking that you are asking about the green square with the sparkle star on it? That is my fabric and it's from my collection called Gracie Girl that I did with my daughter Kassidy several years ago:)❤
Hi Missy...The pattern for the entire Scrap-Apple Quilt is in the book Scrappiness is Happiness and you can see the finished quilt hanging on my design wall in the slide show at the beginning of this video. All 32 different blocks in the book are made into a quilt and have patterns for them for a total of 32 quilt patterns in the book.❤
@@LoriHolt Thank you so much. I have made 3 simple quilts. Do you think I would be okay to tackle this? The quilt is beautiful with all the different blocks.
@@LoriHolt thanks so much Lori I also won one of your 2023 planners on Kimberly's members only livestream the day she was so sick. It's a beautiful book. I'm not as creative as you, but I'll use colored pencils,etc, & try to summon my inner Kimberly or Lori! Happy New Year Lori 🎉
My dad used to ask me 'whatcha building's when I was sewing and cooking both! Great memory!
This is a gorgeous block, especially with all your beautiful fabrics. It looks pretty easy, too.

Brilliant! Love the book and this block, in particular!
I love your style of quilting. I have a lot of your books and I hope you never stop creating. 💕
I appreciate you saying its ok to jump in late. I did see the bee tutorial. I guess I missed the mushroom tutorial. hmmm??? They all look so nice and cute! This is my goal this year to do a quilt along. Wish me luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL!
The mushroom block is one of Lori's tutorials that she did about a month ago.

@@pjstitcher8364 Thank you for that. I'll go back and look for it! 😊
love that pattern Lori
I like you patience explaining the reasons why you do things and also the methods you use. And the cutting advice for scraps.
Happy New Year!!!💖
Thank you for your videos with this sew along,I had to stop for awhile wanting to get started on it again.
Love it!
Going to be so pretty 😍
I love your scrap apple block.
Just finished all the sampler blocks. I enjoyed so much making these blocks. Thank you for the book and tutorials!!

Very nice and interesting ❤️ 👍
Love this block! Can’t wait to start my quilt!
I definitely need to work on cutting my scraps like you do, it took me 2 hours to cut the fabrics for this block yesterday.
Hi Sheila...yes! I have found that having my "scrappy pre-cuts" at the ready makes cutting easy peasy! 😀❤
I’m excited to finish our remix series. I’ve stayed caught up all year. Can’t wait to get the last 2 blocks and then the setting or sash in abd borders!
Hi Tena...thank you!! Those last two block tutorials will be coming up here on my channel this month!❤

Lori, not sure I've ever heard you mention if you pre-wash the fabrics before cutting into your scrap baskets. Do you pre-wash? Thanks
Hi Teri 😀 No I do not pre-wash as I don't find it necessary anymore as we now have excellent quality fabric to sew with and have not had any problems:)❤

How do you not have loose threads on the back?
How can I get measurements of each piece for this block?
Are we still able to get this book?
What stitch length do you use on your Featherweight?
