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.
The circle ruler and want to give that quilt a try. I love the design board too. I love the whole post and videos. Her sewing room is a dream!
ReplyDeleteAfter seeing the video on using the thimble template, I really want to try that. :)
ReplyDeleteI want the angler she uses for her easy corner triangles. I'll also be making some of those design boards--both big and small. Thanks for so much great information!
ReplyDeleteI watched the video on Lori's new circle rulers and loved the idea of using pelon to sew circles, turn and make them perfectly round!
ReplyDeleteI would love to try her circle rulers and making a circle quilt. The quilt with circles looks like a fun piece in any room.
ReplyDeleteI liked the rotating mat Lori used, as well as some of her other favorite notions. I definitely want to get her circle rulers. Thanks for the videos and for the chance to win.
ReplyDeleteI love reading Lori's blog and now to have the videos is really great. I have already made the design boards before the videos came out but I do use them all them time. I would like to try my hand at the barn block...it's so cute.

I absolutely love Lori Holt. I made one of her design boards and use it all the time. I have her circle rulers. And I am totally envious of her sewing room and all her vintagy stuff!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteWhile 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!!
ReplyDeleteI need one of those design boards! Thanks for the tute:)
ReplyDeleteI love the videos, the design board tutorial was very easy. The vintage irons were great. She is so personable. Love her fabric as well. The solids will look great with her fabric lines. Keep the videos coming, they are great!!!
ReplyDeleteI want to try her Quilty Barn Along. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteI am sooooo jealous!!! I would love to get a tour of Lori's entire home! LOL I love her style and color selections-I would just love a peek into the whole house. (Though her sewing room is a good place to start.) Honestly, how could you NOT wake up with a smile everyday if you lived in her cottage!?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to try making her design board:)
ReplyDeleteAnything curved intimidates me - I want to try her circle rulers!
ReplyDeleteI'm going to try out the angler. I bought one a few months ago, but I've never even opened it! I needed Lori's inspiration to get me going!

ReplyDeleteFirst 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.
ReplyDeleteForgot 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!
ReplyDeleteI'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.
ReplyDeleteI 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
ReplyDeleteHELLO! LIKE TO TRY THE CIRCULAR RULER! THANKS FOR SHARING!
ReplyDeletemsstitcher1948@yahoo.com
So many useful tips! I think the design boards were my favourite: I don't have a dedicated sewing room (and isn't Lori's amazing...) so they would be so helpful x

ReplyDeletecarin.aschan@hotmail.com
Thank-you for the insights and innovations provide through this lovely lady. Lori's distinctive style has always appealed to me, her quilts are quite amazing. I gleaned a stack of tips but the one that stands out is her organisation of her studio.. that impressed me greatly. :grace55(at)hushmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteI will make a designer board and I would like to try the Easy Angler ruler for HST's.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to make a design board - what a great way to keep pieces in place when constructing a block!
ReplyDeleteEnjoyed the videos!! I'd love to make some of the design boards.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
I've used one of Lori's design boards, but see I need to make more.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely have to try her half-hexie tips...love how easy it is to follow her tutorials!
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
I like her design boards. I also like her use of muffin tins to organize quilt pieces.
ReplyDeleteThe hexie rulers look so fun! I especially like the 5" one and the idea to use the pellon sew-in interfacing.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteI will be trying the design board. thanks
ReplyDeleteI just love Lori Holt's style. Her designs, fabric and home are so wonderful. I loved hearing the story behind Gracie Girl and am ecstatic about tje Quilty Barn along--I can't wait to get started. And the portable design boards are such a great idea. I am always frustrated trying to get my pieces back-and-forth between my sewing machine and ironing board--I have to make one asap! I love Lori.
ReplyDeleteThe rotating mat was dreamy! I like the hexagons demystified too. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAm definately going to make one of Lori,s design boards that,s on my to do list. Loved watching all of the tutorials will be buying the hexie ruler next. Would love the chance to win thanks.

Love the tips given for it and also enjoyed seeing the way she uses all her vintage items for every day use. I also plan on making some of the quilt block design boards.
ReplyDeleteI have wanted to make the small design boards and it was great to see Lori actually demo it. I would like to get one of the lazy susan type cutting mat...so efficient!
ReplyDeleteThe color combo of turquoise and red--how very cheery!! Thanks for the tutorials and the studio tour. I might need to make a design board.

ReplyDeleteOh Lori you are an inspiration! What a lovely home. I am going to make some design boards too. I love the barn quilt. Going to have to get started.
ReplyDeleteSo fun. I watched the design board tutorial, so cute as well as the studio tour. Love the tool tips and am very interested in the angler tool and open toe foot. Who knew I could ditch the quarter inch foot that gets caught on things all the time. Lori is an inspiration and her blog is chock full of great stuff!

I liked watching her demonstrate how to use her hexie rulers - so easy!
ReplyDeleteI loved Lori's studio tour (and all of the other videos too!) Thanks for doing those!
ReplyDeleteFor me it will be the circles. with the interfacing and would love to try her new rulers but that will have to be in time....thanks for the videos
ReplyDeleteLove the thimble rulers. I think I would use the smaller thimble to make a scrappy quilt (always looking for ways to use up scraps -- they seem to multiply while I sleep).
ReplyDeleteThis 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
ReplyDeleteCiao, io vorrei provare gli Esagoni e anche i Circle.
ReplyDeleteMi e' piaciuto ogni momento dei video! Bello lo studio.
Grazie per il giveway.
Marina
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!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all of the wonderful videos with Lori Holt of Bee in my bonnet. It's hard to pic a favorite. I think I will be making some design boards from that great tutorial.

ReplyDeleteThe design boards are a great idea. I also love Lori's ironing surface.
ReplyDeleteLove the videos. I want to make a design board. Fun and useful.
ReplyDeleteShawn
I love Loris quilts, they have so much color they make you happy. I am going to try the circle rulers to make a fun summer quilt. Lori's solid fabrics are also to bright and happy. They will work great with her fabric lines. Thank you
ReplyDeleteLori is so talented. I already made one of the design boards. I love her designs.
ReplyDeleteI would love to try the hexi rulers. Also I so need me some design boards. I love Lori I would stalk her if I could. She is fabulous in every way.
ReplyDeleteI loved the studio tour and now that I have watched her use the circle ruler, I am not so intimidated about circles. Also I want to try the guide she used in her notions video where you dont have to use a 1/4" foot. That seemed handy.
ReplyDeleteAlso I love the solids bundle. It is hard to pick out solids on a computer screen so this makes it easy. You know they match her fabric!
Love the circle ruler and the design board - I need one of those!
ReplyDeleteI have to make the circle quilt, it's so great!!
ReplyDeleteLove the design boards that are just the size of blocks you are making! Would love to win some great fabric :) Kathi

ReplyDeleteLove the idea of the ironing table.I use many of the storage ideas all ready but I need to get the angler, what a time saver! I enjoyed all the videos. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to make some design boards!
ReplyDeleteNice, love the colors. Would be such a fun quilt. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteI loved all of the videos, thank you for doing this for everyone. I feel like I know Lori know.
ReplyDeleteI would love to make a design board for when I have complicated blocks that I need to keep things turned the right way! :)
ReplyDeleteSandy A
Wow those videos were sure fun to watch....so glad you all made that trip and shared all of your good finds with us. I think I like the circle ruler concept the most....would love to try that. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletei would like to put together her design board great idea.
ReplyDeleteI found Lori's design boards tutorial last Sept and made a bundle of them. I love using them and shared the tutorial at a quilt retreat.
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to make a half hexie quilt, and that ruler would make it so much easier! I want to try it! And am in love with her new fabric line!
ReplyDeleteI would like to make Lori's design boards to use.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeleteWhat 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!
ReplyDeleteI have specifically been looking online to see how she uses her design board and what did I find today, a lovely video from you showing every detail. Yay!
ReplyDeleteI love the design board and the hexagon quilt. And her whole house!! The colors are so fun.
ReplyDeleteI really want to make a design board. I made my entire row along quilt top without one, and after watching the videos, I can see how useful one would have been.
ReplyDeleteI want to try to make a hexie quilt after seeing how much easier it is with that ruler!
ReplyDeleteReally great videos! I would love to try Lori's circle ruler and the hexie ruler! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeleteI loved all of the videos, they were so interesting and helpful. I could go on and on with what I've learned from Lori. She makes everything seem effortless! I love the IDE of using her design boards :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful studio and love her circular ruler.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful studio and love her circular ruler.
ReplyDeleteI love Lori Holt: I've been following her since I found her about a year ago!! i love the tutorial on the design boards: I've already made a few since seeing her idea!! Enjoyed the circle ruler video too and will have to come back and watch the other videos. Hexie ruler video is next!! thanks for the chance to win the fabulous solids: they are great looking to go with all my LH fabric!!
ReplyDeleteThese 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.
ReplyDeleteI really love her new line of fabric, especially the green floral and all the bake dish colors.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
The design boards look so handy! Looking forward to making a few! Thanks for the chance to win!
ReplyDeletelove cirlcular ruler

ReplyDeleteLove the colors of the thimble quilt. Got to get the pattern.
ReplyDeleteLove all of her videos! Her studio is gorgeous and her fabrics are soooo yummy!!! I'm going to make those design boards- what a clever idea and just the right size!

ReplyDeleteLove the videos! Fun to see the new rulers, and variety of things you can make with them. Love the new Solid color fabrics!!
