I adore Lori Holt....she is so real and kind....not forgetting, very talented! One of the things I love about her is that she is unafraid to share how she does things and she encourages us to give it a try also! Thank you Lori!!
I'm so glad Lori decided to do this tutorial. She seems to be very socially anxious (which I can TOTALLY understand), so I'm proud of her for stepping out of her comfort zone. Of course, I could be all wrong, and she could be super comfortable in front of the camera! Haha. Either way, I appreciate her level of perfectionism, that she shares her skills with us and for all the years she's given the quilting world inspiration. Her work is easily recognizable, and always adorable.
I can hardly wait to get started! I am waiting for the Pellon interfacing and the Bias Tape Makers. The video is very clear and fun. My kitty Maggie will be helping me as I Sew Along. Sew Fun!
She has a written tutorial on her blog A Bee In My Bonnet every Monday for all her sew alongs. They are not videos, but they are very detailed. Thank you for asking!
When is Lori going to have templates in pdf size for us that live outside the USA. It cost a lot to ship whereas if it was in pdf we could make our own templates.
I love all of your quilts, Lori! This one is so sweet and I love your method of applique. My 13 year old daughter and I are just beginning quilters. Until now I have mostly been a garment sewer. I was wondering if you would talk a little about how to prepare your fabric for quilting. Everything that I have seen makes me think that you do not pre-wash fabric and then as you cut and applique, you are careful to not use steam and press on the back so that nothing shrinks or gets distorted. I guess some quilts are only for display and will not need washing often but what about quilts that will be used and loved and then washed. Do you prepare fabric differently depending on the use of the quilt? As a garment sewer, I pre-wash everything. Thanks!
Hi Raina! Thanks for your question. There are three camps in the quilt world - Always pre-wash. Never Pre-wash, It depends on the look of the final quilt. If you wash completed quilt that has not had the fabrics pre-washed, it will shrink a bit and take on a more ''vintage'' or ''well loved'' look. If you are not using it often and it's for display, you can give it a light vacuum to remove the dust and never wash it. It will look as new as when you finished it. I hope that helps!
Hola. Soy Monica de Chile. Muy lindos los trabajos, hermosas las telas. Lo complicado para nosotras para tener un negocio, es que sale muy caro comprar telas 100% algodon. Me encanta coser y trabajar con telas,pero solo disfruto los tutoriales las bellezas que hacen. Con telas de poliester lo he intentado, pero la calidad no es la misma. Ojalá hubieran talleres aqui en Santiago, sería una forma de apoyar a la microempresa. Saludos
sbere do Where do I get the materials i the Florida aquilt shop somewhat close to Atlantic Beach I have the 5" ch a rm pack but I am sure I will need more to make the whole quilt. I did mame the bloom quilt znd hsd a lot of fun mking it. I am on a limited income so I would like to be able to make this one without costing me an a rm and a leg if you know what I am talking about. Please let know info if you can. I don't know how to send you picture of mt bloom quilt I vthink it turned out very good for not knowing how to b c applique. Very wellbut like I said it was fun.
Hi Susan, I'm not sure you will still be able to find a kit still available for the Cozy Christmas Sew Along. You can try your favorite online fabric retailer. The templates will still be available. Here is the free pattern download from our website: www.rileyblakedesigns.com/media/uploads/Free_Quilting_Projects/2016/CozyChristmasFreeQuilt%20(1).pdf Thanks for asking!
Here's the link to the pattern bit.ly/2boc6Cl Lori uses her templates as well to complete the quilt. You can find them at your favorite quilt shop or online at sites like www.missouriquiltco.com/ and www.fabric.com.
Thank you for your comments. We like to show many techniques for projects since different people find some techniques better for their way of thinking than others. We love needle turn applique techniques as well! Thanks for taking the time to give us your feedback.
Many people hear the term "needle-turned applique" and run. If you're not familiar with the technique, it is quite difficult, and I believe they wanted this quilt along to be doable for a larger variety of quilter.

thanks for sharing about the bias tape bowtie knot. leaving that end side until other sides are sewn is a great hint for small pieces anywhere.
Adorable fabric, design equals an awesome quilt❤️
Wow this is great! Thank you so much for sharing this!! Can't wait to sew along with you! Hi from Australia!
We are so glad you enjoyed the tutorial. Have fun with the project. Happy sewing Down Under!

Thank You so much for sharing this!!!! Is great !!!
Great tutorial! Looking forward to sewing along!!
So glad you enjoyed the tutorial! Have fun making the blocks!
It looks great 👍 but I would have to take out a loan to afford to buy all the component parts for this quilt 😳‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️
I know, right? I love all Lori’s beautiful fabrics and kits💖
How do I find the videos with the other blocks? I printed the pattern and got the fabric! Can’t find it in her blog
I'm so glad you have the video! There is a ton of information on here that you don't describe on your blog.
So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!

When I try to download the pattern I am told they are not there???
Could you put a button in the middle of the bow?
Great detail thank you Lori and Cindy but on a seperate note is there a video for the lovely pin cushion?
I am sorry. We do not have a pattern for Lori's pin cushion. It's from her personal collection.

Where did you get the template please from UK
Where do you get the patterns to trace the templates or where do you buy the templates?
Is it possible to purchase the requirements for this quilt in the UK. Thanks for such a lovely tutorial.
The links are showing as not available. Has that information changed?
Love that iron! What kind is it?
what kind of iron are you using? and where can I find it?
The iron is an Oliso and can be found online. Thanks for asking
Are the patterns for the Cozy Christmas not available any longer?
Hi Bonnie, the pattern can be found here: www.rileyblakedesigns.com/assets/images/freepatterns/quiltpatterns/CozyChristmasSewAlongGuide.pdf

The pattern link does not appear to be working. Is there another link?

needle turn applique takes way less time. People think needle turn is harder but it's not.

She doesn't not seem very happy nor enthusiastic....
