Lori Holt on YouTube!

As you know, a few weeks ago we took a trip to Utah to film a few videos with our friend Lori Holt. She welcomed us into her charming cottage and had a whole bunch of fun. The videos are now all up on our YouTube channel and we wanted to tell you a bit about them! Also, we have a fun giveaway at the end of this post so don't miss out!


We are absolutely in love with Lori's ruler sets, so we filmed tutorials on how to use the Circle Ruler Set, Thimble Ruler Set and Hexie Half Ruler Set. Each ruler set comes with a free pattern, and in the video Lori walks you through how to construct a block from the free quilt patterns. These rulers are quite amazing and the possibilities are endless! Just watch and see!










Lori's home is filled with vintage treasures and her studio is no exception. Jina of Riley Blake Designs took a tour through her studio and Kimberly went through Lori's favorite sewing and quilting notions. Some of them may surprise you, but you will have so many creative ideas after watching these videos!






We are always looking for ways to organize our sewing space, and Lori's design boards are just the thing to keep our blocks in order. We love the idea so much that we filmed a video on how she makes her design boards!



We also filmed her sewing block 5 in her Quilty Barn Along. Learn the story behind the Quilty Barn Along and follow along as she makes block 5!






And last but not least, we caught a few spare minutes to sit down and have a chat. Learn all about Lori's background in quilting, her upcoming collections, including the adorable Bake Sale available at Fat Quarter Shop, and more in this one-on-one interview!



We hope you enjoyed the videos! Now it is time for a giveaway! We are offering up a bundle of Lori Holt's Designer Solids, which coordinate perfectly with any of her collections. To enter, leave a comment below letting us know what new tip, trick or project you will try from watching her videos! Contest closes Friday May 10!

UPDATE Giveaway is now closed. ✾Jamie Lee Cooley✾ has been selected as the winner! Please contact chelsey[at]fatquartershop[dot]com to claim your prize.

  9. I DID try her angler approach to those corners and what a time saver to not have to draw all those little lines on fabric! I'm still working on her adorable row-a-long. And a big thanks to Kimberly for bringing in some of the fabric I have been using!

    ReplyDelete
  10. While I love and hope to try out the circle ruler, I have to say I love the color of her kitchen! I think that's the color I want to paint my sewing room. Her pics just confirmed my choice! What a great space she has!!

  23. First I want to move to her studio! It's like a little dream place. I'm totally stealing the idea for painting the baskets. The Circles video was my fave. It was genius to hear about the interfacing and turning to make perfect circles. Love her cheery fabrics.

    ReplyDelete
  24. Forgot to tell you I will be making Lori's Design Boards... had found them on her blog and bought the foam core board, cut my fabric strips, but then was afraid of using the glue gun. Your video of Lori making the boards showed me that it really is easy, and her directions for placement of the glue made it seem easy enough for even ME to do! Thank You!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I'm definitely going to look into those circle templates...love the wee design boards, that would be perfect for my Farmer's Wife blocks that I'm hand piecing together.

    ReplyDelete
  26. I am sooo looking forward to her new fabric line, Bake Sales! That will be the catalyst for my next project, and I am IN LOVE with the cake stand quilt behind her head in the last video of the blog post. My daughter has a baking blog, and she would love that quilt. Hopefully, I can find that pattern!! Thanks!!! Holly

    ReplyDelete
  48. Enjoyed the videos!! I'd love to make some of the design boards.

    ReplyDelete
  49. I have always loved the idea of the design boards and now being able to see her make one, I think I'll be doing some of those soon. I had already bought some of the foam core awhile back for another project so I have that all ready to go. I also noticed she has a cutting board (or it appears to be one to me anyway) under her hot glue gun. GREAT idea. I'm going to buy one of those the next time we head out to IKEA because they have packs of those at a great price.

    I am in love with Lori's kitchen! My kitchen is SO ugly I'd never want anyone to show it to anyone. It's extremely functional but, not 'cute' and hers is just adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  50. I've used one of Lori's design boards, but see I need to make more.

    ReplyDelete
  51. Definitely have to try her half-hexie tips...love how easy it is to follow her tutorials!

    ReplyDelete
  52. I love everything! Your blog is so pretty,your pictures are beautiful. The studio tour movie is amazing,and the toy cashier and stove used as pincushions are darling. I think the design board idea is so clever, and for me that sew at the kitchen table will be so helpful. I am a beginner quilter and all your ideas are awesome!
    Thank you!

  53. I like her design boards. I also like her use of muffin tins to organize quilt pieces.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I want to make one of her quilt barn blocks and also make one of her block design boards. Those are perfect for transporting the block components from the cutting table to the sewing area!

    ReplyDelete
  140. This is a wonderful spot light on Lori Holt and her accomplishments. She has so many wonderful things to share with us. I am certainly going to make the design/block board organizers ... what a wonder to find. Thanks for your generosity and inspiration. Judy C in NC

  142. Thanks for the videos! After seeing the rulers in use, I NEED THEM ALL. While I'm deciding for the online purchase, I'll start with a design/audition board for my blocks. Just in the nick of time, I've got elements on my kitchen table that need to be assembled into scrappy blocks!

    ReplyDelete

    I love her quilt using her hexie half ruler. I think I would like to use it and some vintage fabrics to make a picnic blanket for one of my daughters and her family. I also enjoyed seeing her sewing space because I will be moving at the end of the month and will be setting up a new sewing room. Next I want to watch the video about making the design boards. I think I will have to make at least one after I get my new house settled.

  169. I have really enjoyed your new videos. I also enjoy Lori Holt. It never fails that I think I have my block laid out and end up un-sewing. The design boards are brilliant.

  170. What fun informative videos. So many neat tricks and tips; thanks so much. I absolutely must make the design mats! I even have the foam core purchased. Lori is so right; from the layout to the sewing machine I switch things around too often. I think the boards will help and maybe solve the problem. Of course, the colorful edges make the mats so fun looking and HAPPY!

  180. These videos with Lori Holt are wonderful. I am just getting to know her and have enjoyed the personal interview and tour of her amazing studio.

    ReplyDelete
  181. I really love her new line of fabric, especially the green floral and all the bake dish colors.

    I watched a few of the videos and now I have to make the barn quilt! I love that the blocks finish at 20", so the quilt comes together quickly and there aren't too many blocks to make.

    I enjoyed the tour of her studio and her favorite notions clip, too. I agree it would be awesome if Aurifil had a box of her color threads. I wondered about her iron collection and love the idea of using the muffin tins. I did her row along and that would have come in handy because a lot of the blocks used 1" squares and it was difficult to keep track of them all:) Now I know how to stay organized and cute all at the same time!

    Thanks for putting together these videos. They are sure to be a great reference for quilters. Now I am off to check out the Natalia Bonner video.
