I turned my Chicken Salad applique quilt into a genealogy type family tree quilt by naming all the chickens and baby chick's after my family going back 4 generations!.
There is nothing better than spending a morning with the one and only LH! There are just no words for the inspiration and encouragement Lori gives. Such creativity, and so joyfully shared. Kimberly, you make it all happen. Love you both!
We have the video that Lori mentioned linked in the description box underneath the title where it says show more. Here is a link to the All About My Sew Simple Shapes - Easy Applique Flower Tutorial bit.ly/404EP3l
I’ve never tried appliqué - 2:26:44 BUT- I did just purchase the sew simple set for the Home Town sew along - I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and thought I should give it a try! ❤ Thanks to you, Lori, and to you, Kimberly for all your great video tutorials. As a newer quilter, I’d be lost without them. ❤
I stumbled on Lori's Applique method and got hooked on the process a few years back. I love the layering of the shapes and building the blocks. It is fun to take the block after glued down with me where I can stitch them down at boring events and in waiting rooms. So portable!
OH MY GOODNESS. My Grandma's name is Mildred and she went by Millie too. I have to get this quilt pattern. I almost cried when I saw this pattern. She taught me to sew and when she passed, I was gifted her entire quilt room. Some of the material still smells like her and her house. This will be great to make a Minnie to hang on my wall. Thank you soooo mich.
I love the name Mildred. My mother's middle is name Mildred. My mother hates it!! I remember as a child, I thought it was so beautiful!!! Millie as a nick name is sweet ❤
When I started quilting, appliqué was one of my least favorite things to do. But then I fell in love with all things Lori and she completely turned me around on it. Her method turned something I found tedious and frustrating, into something fun! I'm so glad too because it opens up so many more opportunities to make different types of quilts. ❤
Hi Kimberly and Lori! I love Lori's applique method. I use it on quilt labels and I have several of Lori's quilts planned but right now I'm quilting a vintage quilt top on my home sewing machine. Thank you both for the video!
I’m not very good at appliqué yet but I want to be, because I think it’s so cute and I love watching Lori’s CZcams videos on how to do appliqué. I feel like I’m sitting in the sewing room with her. It’s so wonderful, Lori thank you for being so transparent on your quilting journey and sharing that part of your life with us.🩷
Lori's applique method is by far my favorite. It is so much easier and always turns out so nicely. Thanks for a wonderful video, I enjoyed watching you both together again.
Thank you for the video/live. I love applique , it is one of my favorite things to do, I hand applique while listening to quilting blogs. love everything Lori Holt.
I never did appliqué before in my life. I love all of Lori’s quilt alongs so I jumped in with both feet! I did the Calico Garden and I’m hooked!!!! Her blog is awesome and her technique is so easy that even I did it with a great result. Thank you Lori!!! I’m a forever fan and can’t wait to jump in on the scarecrow sew along ❤
I’ve actually made some pretty nice stuff with the needle turn method . My grandmother taught me. Our first lesson was when I was 9! My eye sight isn’t what it used to be… I recently tried a sew simple project! WHAT FUN‼️ it’s really easy… with a little patience anyone CAN DO IT‼️ It’s my goal to use Lori’s method and make a 20 block quilt that tells my life story… Thanks Lori Holt for all the idea, tips and tricks. Now I can make the quilt I want to make ❤🎉
I had never appliqué until I did flea market flowers and I loved it. I found it surprisingly easy to follow Lori’s method. I sooo love anything LH and I’m thankful that FQS is there to find all of her lines.
Fabulous live!! I love everything Lori Holt!! My mother-in-law did applique quilts about 30 years ago. When I tried to do applique like her.. it never came out right. Fast forward to a few years ago when I discovered Lori Holt and watched her do applique... It changed everything. I've made lots of applique projects using Lori's method and absolutely love the results!! ❤❤❤
My first appliqué quilt was Prairie Meadow. I purchased the quilt kit from FQS and followed Lori's blog and CZcams channel for lessons. For a first time appliqué project it was a huge undertaking and the quilt top turned out beautiful. I would suggest a smaller project to introduce oneself into appliqué, but I do not regret all that I learned and the outcome of the prairie meadow quilt top. Thank you to Lori Holt and FQS for the tutorials and the encouragement to be the boss of my quilts!
What a wonderful video, Lori and Kimberly are just naturals when they work together! So many wonderful things coming, I think I will be asking everyone for FQS gift cards for Christmas! Lori, thank you for sharing your appliqué method ~ I am a beginning quilter and have watched your tutorial more than once. Now I just have to be brave enough to try it myself. Thanks to both of you for all that you do for the quilting and cross stitch communities!
I am excited to start my first appliqué project, which will be home town. I have had to delay it as I broke my arm in three places the week before the sew along started. 😢 watching the videos and are preparing me if I win I am finally able to start my own quilt. I’m so grateful to both Lorrie and Kimberly for all the incredible tutorials you provide us. As a New Quilter gives me so much confidence to feel like I am capable of accomplishing so much.
As a beginner quilter, I love seeing what Lori makes and sews. My sisters are teaching me and I just bought the collection for Hometown. I just got my first sewing machine too, and I'm almost 60 years old. I'm scared of applique, but love the look. I'm a paper crafter, and it looks so similar. I'll have to watch some CZcams videos.
Enjoyed this video so very much!! Enjoyed seeing all the new fabrics and patterns and just hearing all the info along the way. I have been a Lori Fan since 2013, when I found Riley Blake Designs while looking for some quilt ideas. Lori was just bringing out her first Bake Sale fabric line, which led me to Fat Quarter Shop. The doors that opened for me at that time, have been a wonderful journey - that I am so grateful for. Before that, I had been a home sewer for a company that did a lot of raw edge applique. We worked mostly with solids, and would cut out two pieces of fabrics simultaneously, so that the shapes matched exactly, before zigzagging them onto print fabrics to make the many designs for baby quilts. (Doubling up the solid fabrics helped so that the print would not show through afterwards). Now working with Lori's Sew Interfacing - I keep thinking back, how much easier applique would have been years before. Again, thank you for a wonderful video, Kimberly and Lori!
Lori to Lori... I was afraid at first, and I tried your technique, and it wasn't as hard as I had myself worked up for. I am a very beginner quilter. That was really one of the first things I've tried..." Go big or go home" they say. I have purchased 4 of your books so far....and Love them all... Thank you for being you....
I love love all the inspiration I get when watching any of your videos with Lori Holt! Thank you for sharing! I have always been afraid of appliqué… but after hearing Lori talk about it… and the fact that I can watch her videos on how to do appliqué, I feel like I can at least try a small project, like a mini quilt to start with. Thank you for all you do! ❤
I'm very new to quilting but not new to sewing. I was anxious about applique until I discovered Lori Holt world. Your books instructions and videos make the process effortless. I just started the chicken salad quilt but with my neurological disorder I'm sure it's going to take awhile. I'm confident tho because Lori walks you through it all. I was afraid of the actual turning of the fabric but it seems therapeutic to me. Enjoy your day y'all. These videos are amazingly inspirational.
Lori-your applique method is my very favorite. I first appliquéd with the starch, paintbrush & freezer paper-did a whole quilt that way & found it so tedious & fiddly. Then I tried needleturn & did ok, but was a little frustrated & so didn’t find it enjoyable. I tried paper back raw edge fusible-didn’t like the look of it & didn’t think it held up well. When I found your method about 4 yrs ago, I found it to be enjoyable & relaxing. When you came out with yr own interfacing-that was a game changer. Your method isn’t tedious or frustrating. I’ve made many of yr applique quilts-have won Best of Show & many other rewards with them. I will always use yr interfacing & your method. Thank you for it!
Hello miss Lori...well I have never been much of an applique kinda quilter and I been quilting for over 25 years...I tried to do applique many years ago and it was just a fail...never felt the need to ever want to do it again...however...your designs have me drooling..I purchased sew simple shapes a while back and still never made the quilt...I loved your teapot quilt that was all pieced and I purchased the kit from FQS years back...its just beautiful...I loved your granny chic fabric so much I purchased the fat quarter bundle and hung on to it till just recently I made the Sewcelites 2 sew along with the fabric and just WOW it is just simply beautiful and I used black for all the background...I might one day get brave enough to attempt applique but I have your sew by row quilt to get workinig on as well...thank you so much for all these beautiful fabrics and designs..one of your biggest whole hearted fans
I haven’t tried appliqué since I was taught needle turn method years ago. I gathered my fabrics, stencils and other materials to make the Bee Vintage Quilt. Can’t wait to start! Looks like fun. ❤️ I really enjoyed today’s livestream.
I used to love looking at applique, but I dreaded having to needleturn my work and didn't always want to see the fraying if I didn't! So when I tried Lori's method years ago, now I love ❤️ 😍 💖 applique!!! But, because of time constraints, I do more of FatQuartershop's pieced patterns. BOTH of you, I love your work, creativity, generosity, humor and how much you feel like friends to people you will never even know. You are amazing, wonderful ladies!!! Thank you so much!!!
I LOVE when you do videos with Lori! I hang on every word. You both are such special people! So many exciting things in the works, I can't wait! I just recently tried Lori's applique method & let me just say, if anyone is on the fence about trying it, do it! It is so easy & her tutorials are so good! I LOVE the look of it & it's so much easier than the old method. Thank you both, Kimberly & Lori for all you do! This was a great video!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've never done applique. The reason is simply that I haven't done a quilt that required it. Great show! It's always nice to see and hear Lori talk about her projects and her advice about simpler ways of doing things. Have a great weekend and God bless ya'll!
Love it all!!! I do all methods of applique, but I love Lori's method the best because it is so easy and looks so nice. In fact her weight of interfacing is the best and I am HOARDING many packages of her interfacing, I will frequently do 2 versions of her applique quilts at a time. My first quilt was Let's Bake and it was so easy to do it made me feel like a pro. Thank you Lori and Kimberly for sharing what is coming up.
I never used to do applique until I watched Lori's tutorials. She's taught me so much that I love to applique with the method she's taught me. Great seeing you both together!
I love Lori's method for applique! It's the only way to do it. I loved this video. Always enjoy it when you two get together. Love the length of the video too. Had to watch it over a couple of days, but I always had something to look forward to at the end of the day. Keep the awesome videos and great ideas coming!
Lori you are such a talent and a force for creativity. Thank you for your contributions to the quilty community. As far as appliqué- I’m still a new quilter. I absolutely love the look of appliqué. I’m not impressed with my own work yet. I do like the Lori Holt method. My struggle is keeping the interfacing from peeking thru the edges. I’m also still learning how to sew the images neatly. That said, I love the sew simple shapes. Makes it easy-pesie to play and doesn’t require a light box.
I’m in awe of how many fabric collections and patterns you have coming out. I’m a former shop owner, long arm quilter and pattern designer. I also work full time so don’t have capacity to do many but you are amazing. And Kimberly gets all my money. Thanks you both!
This video was amazing and so full of inspiration! Thank you FQS and Lori!! Lori truly designs from her heart and her projects and fabrics just show how much she cares about the people in her life. Kimberly, I never fell out of my chair when you said you pieced Quilted Witch in a weekend!!😮 I need you to teach me how to do that too…it takes me FOREVER to piece a quilt!
Hi Kimberly and Lori! Great video!! Love all the fun stuff that’s coming up!! I absolutely love hand appliqué! Your sew simple shapes/interfacing method is perfection. I love how clean the appliqué pieces come out!! And, the quilts are so beautiful with all the little details added in. Thanks again for the fantastic video!!❤
This was such a fun livestream even though I didn't get to see it live!!! What fun friends!!! I haven't done much applique but I have tried Lori's method and it is fun to do!! Chicken Salad is on my to-do list!! Thank you Kimberly and Lori for such a fun show!!!
Lori's method of applique is the best for me with the finished edges, and it has made me really enjoy applique so much more. Also, I love the combination of piecing and applique in the patterns.
Really enjoyed this chat with Lori Holt. I love applique, I've done a lot of raw edge, but once I discovered Lori Holts method I can't go back! Love it and all things quilted!
Lori’s applique method is one of several different applique methods that I have tried. I enjoyed using this method, but I found that it wasn’t always the best method to use when constructing intricate applique pieces. When I work with a rounded, less detailed shape, it works great. I have fallen in Love with wool appliqué as I went through the process of learning the best methods of applique for me. THANK YOU Lori for sharing your passion of quilting and applique with everyone. Your patterns & books make it very easy to follow your directions and they make it possible to construct beautiful projects that we could only dream of before. 🪡🧵
I have not working any of your applique quilts. However, I have watched several videos on how you do them. I have your Spelling Bee quilt book and some of your fabrics. (So pretty that I have not decided yet what I want to do with them just yet) Maybe 2024 is the year to break the seal and learn a new skill. May pull my Bee quilt book out and look it over once again. Lots of fun ideas to come up with. Thank you for sharing of your wonderful creative ideas Lori!!
I watched your video of you and Lori loved it I have all her booked and never have I appliqué d before because it did not look good but I have mad several of loris appliqué pieces and home town is what I am working on now and I just can’t stop thank you Lori love it.
Luv luv luv you two together!! I am an applique novice but Lori's methods are real competence and confidence builders. I have a habit of poking holes in my seams still when turning out so I only use my fingertip or fingernail for now. I am trying to build my library of Lori's books. So glad to see FQS has so many still available.
Luved this live stream with Lori...so many new fabrics and projects to look forward to. I have never liked applique..im a piecer...but i do like the way Lori does hers. Its the only way i can do applique.
Thanks for a fun video! It was nice to see all the new fabrics. I've used Lori's applique method (and sew simple shapes) on small projects - a table runner, project bags, etc. I think it's fun, and the results turn out great. It takes time, but I machine stitch around the edge to make it go a bit faster - rather than hand sew.
Just love this video. I just did applique when I did a quilt for my happy place. The so simple shapes, with your interfacing, made it so fun and easy. Watching along with your videos, cleared up any questions I had. I can't wait to pick out another pattern to keep going with my applique.
Thank you, LH & KJ...haha It took 5 revisits to see this entire, WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING & sew many suggestions & INSPIRATIONS on MORE LH designs & fabrics & notions. Personally, I enjoy the Needle Turn Appliqué. I am enjoying Your method, too, LH... Not needing the 3 card boxes, thanks anyway. I entered dates of releases on the 1st of the month per KJ's recitation...& noted the same on my payday to "save $ ahead for"..... sew I can hopefully purchase what I want B4 it sells out!, Very enjoyable time spent with you both. Thanks, FQS Staff & LH "staff" !!!
Oh, Lori. The new house blocks are just so wonderful!! I can't wait to make some. Your patterns (and talent) never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all you ladies do!
Sometime this past winter I ordered the Lori Holt jigsaw puzzle that has adorable sewing items on it and throughly enjoyed working it. It was so cute. Fast Forward…. Now the Mercantile series is featuring all the cute sewing room items in the Seed Packet patterns! I am soooooo excited!! What a wonderful surprise! I can’t wait to make these and decorate my sewing room 😊💗
Appliqué-- I am on the edge to begin appliqué. I fear I will not be good at it. After watching Lori’s videos and seeing HOW ADORABLE her projects are…I so badly want to get started. I just need to do it! Thank you for all the fabrics, patterns and inspiration. You both are instrumental in my motivation. Blessings❤
I was so excited to see Lori today! My favourite fabric, designer and all around inspiration 😊. Her appliqué method made me jump in and do the Flea Market Flowers quilt and I was nervous. But it’s SO easy and step by step, I now have the most beautiful quilt. Working on the appliqué blocks for Prairie Meadow and loving every minute of it. Thank you Lori for sharing your brain and kindness with us ❤
Great show!!!! I love Lori’s method of appliqué!! It’s a lot easier than turning the edges under and it just makes the edges look more perfect 😍 thank you for the fun show and showing us all the new things to come in 2024. 🙌🏻
Oh my goodness! What an absolute delight to “visit” with Kimberly and Lori! So many incredible projects coming! I better be saving my $$ and carving out lots of time. You guys are THE BEST!! I don’t mind doing appliqué but never seem to be satisfied with the tack down stitches. I just learned how to use my scan n cut to cut out appliqué pieces for my embroidery designs! I’m having a blast making all sorts of things! Thanks for all the inspiration!
When I first started, I did applique. Love it so relaxing needle turn. Then watching Lori do her's with the interface and sewing it on the machine. I was scared to change my ways. I have to say she converted me. I just love her method.
Work has been so busy - and I was not able to see the replay until today. Great video. Love Lori and Kimberly together. Truly, I like Lori's method of applique better than raw edge with adhesive type material. It is much easier to FMQ and the result is fabulous!!! Lori is looking fabulous!! I need her diet!
I tried another appliqué method and found it to be way too tedious. I believe that is the reason I haven’t tried your method. But, my husband and I both love your mercantile quilt so I’m going to take the plunge 🥰 Lori Holt and Kimberly Jolly - definitely a quilting power house!!!! I enjoy your patterns, fabric, and tutorials. You both have greatly influenced, inspired, and improved my quilting. Thank you for everything you do 🥳
I have never appliqued before, but understanding how you reach it, I think I would like to give it a try, I think I would be able to do it. Thank you for the work you do to teach us the right and easiest way to piece a block and to put a scrappy quilt together.
Enjoyed today's live. I started using Lori's applique method a few years ago, and it is my favorite method. Once in a while I will do raw edge. I am grateful for her tutorials and sharing her tips and techniques with us.....thank you!
I love your appliqué quilts and I want to do the Bee Happy quilt, however I don't know how to do appliqué. I'd say I'm an advance beginner to somewhat intermediate. I watched your videos and I am going to try the Bee Happy it and I just know I can do it because you do great instruction on your videos. First I needed to make one of your quilts to gain some confidence before I tackle Bee Happy. Well I joined the scrappiness is happiness sew along and I did it! My quilt actually just came back from a long arm quilter and I love it!! I am hooked and I'm going to make more of your quilts including Bee Happy and the adorable Snowman quilt for 2024! Thank you for the inspiration and videos Lori, you ROCK!
Loved your get together, I first learned to applique from Eleanor Burns with interfacing. So, Lori when I watched your methods I got excited all over again, thank you for sharing your love of quilting. Not to leave you out, Kimberly, love your tutorials too.
I love applique, it is my favorite form of quilting. I finished your Prairie Meadow quilt a while ago, and using your method made it doable. I adore your fabric. Thank You Lori !
I watch your CZcams showing how to appliqué. I get all excited and then I hesitate. I made one block with you and it’s all pinned and glued to the background fabric and the sewing it down is intimidating to me. I’m waiting for the day I feel brave cause I know it will look awesome. Hopefully that’ll be soon!! 🥰
I love your appliqué method Lori!🧵🪡🥰 It is easy to appliqué with that turned edge and I can prep the blocks to take on road trips! So excited for your new BlackBerry pattern with the Jolly Bars. Also the Christmas Stockings and snowman quilt. Thanks for the great video. I always enjoy when you 2 get together😊. Hugs
❤ both KJ & LH, isn't it such a blessing to have a great sew buddy ❤️ you guys remind me of myself & my sew buddy, I miss her so much, we learned quilting together in the early '90s. I have done some appliqué in the past & plan to hand appliqué my Hexis onto blocks one day. Love everything Lori Holt , have 4 books and a 'few' cross stitching patterns. Love the Let's make a Snowman kit coming. I have just completed the Twinkle Stars & starting on Vintage Kites, all while working on my Chicken Salad (pieced version). I am on the 400 plan too Lori 😅 so many projects to do. Happy Stitchin'
I have tried appliqué before but not your technique Lori. Years ago, I sewed each of my children a Christmas stocking and appliquéd a different picture on the front of each one using Debbie Mumms book and patterns. I remember the appliqué was much easier than I thought it would be and the stockings turned out cute!
Have used the Sew Simple Shapes and enjoyed using them. Applique is my favorite. Watching this video on this rainy Saturday morning. Placed my order and also got the free stitch card boxes. Excited to get them. So many fun quilts and fabrics. Lori looking fabulous! Thanks Kimberly for this video.
I'm working on the Calico Garden quilt. It's my first applique using Lori's applique method. I've been sewing the blocks by hand. I've got almost all my blocks glued down and have been sewing them as I have the time. ( Started on the Quilted Witch sew along , multiple projects going at the same time lol!) I'm in love with every quilt pattern Lori designs! Good thing I finally retired and have more free time!
I do love your method of appliqué. I've made a couple of your appliqué quilts and it's so much easier than needle turn. I've still got to finish my Chicken Salad quilt--just need to sew together! Sew much fun!! Thank you Lori and Kimberly!!!
Lori Holt ....my goodness, so many beautiful designs and fabric coming up in the next year! You make my head spin with ideas and plans. Great video FQS!
Hi Kimberly & Lori, I absolutely love the process of your applique method. It has really helped me get over my fear of appliqueing. I never could get my applique projects to look crisp and neat. Love your interfacing. Thank you so much for all your help ❤️💐
My first quilt that I made was a queen-size quilt and hand applique. Today I love machine and hand applique. I also inherited my great grandmother's quilt that was hand applique, which she won first prize at the state fair in Minnesota. She also hand appliqued a twin quilt for me as a teenager. I, of course, love your techniques for hand applique and have templates and fabric from your lines. Love everything you do❤
I’m about to try Applique with the Home Town Quilt Kit! It is going to be my first big Applique quilt. I dread the preparation in prior to sewing in comparison to piecing, we get to cut and sew, where as with applique, there is a lot of prep that has to be done.. but I’m so inspired with Lori and pumped up to try it this year!
Lori I love all of your collections, I did your Calico Garden quilt. It was the most difficult quilt I have done to date, but now it gives me the confidence to do others. I immediately did the Vintage Sampler and now I feel that all applique is a bit easier with that Calico Garden quilt as a reference.
I've been doing applique for years and love it. My favorite method is needle turn, but like your method for larger pieces. I find the interfacing can make it kinda thick though when lots of pieces are stacked. On the next one I make, I think I'm going to trim out the excess interfacing in the center of the piece and see how that works.
before discovering you and your CZcams channel, I attempted to make some applique templates to use in my mother's memory quilt. I really struggled with the decision I made, use a second piece of fabric for the back. Then I found you. Your technique of using interfacing. I have since purchased a total of 5 of your Sew Simple Shapes and currently making your Hometown quilt. Thank you for all you do, and so graciously share!
Loved this live and all the information given. I’m a new quilter this year. I’ve been watching Lori’s appliqué process and it’s stunning. It is definitely my style however I’m horrified to attempt it. I do plan on learning the process next year after I get a little more comfy with making the quilt tops. Thank you both for all the tips and tricks.
Wow ladies this was so much fun to watch! Kimberly, these are my favorite livestreams-interviews with Lori. Lori, I have two of your applique quilts going right now. Prairie Meadow and Autumn Love. I really do like your applique method very much and prefer it most of the time to raw edge. P.S. you girls both look great! 😊
The winners from the livestream with Lori Holt are Cyanna Mufford, Deborah Mcanear and Beryl Stoots.
I turned my Chicken Salad applique quilt into a genealogy type family tree quilt by naming all the chickens and baby chick's after my family going back 4 generations!.
That's adorable!
Sounds interesting
I made the chicken Salad quilt for a friend and she was so happy that she cried. I found Lori's method easy to do. Loved the show so much! Thank you 😊
There is nothing better than spending a morning with the one and only LH! There are just no words for the inspiration and encouragement Lori gives. Such creativity, and so joyfully shared. Kimberly, you make it all happen. Love you both!
We have the video that Lori mentioned linked in the description box underneath the title where it says show more. Here is a link to the All About My Sew Simple Shapes - Easy Applique Flower Tutorial bit.ly/404EP3l
Lori is AMAZING!! She is an EPIC planner! She has to be in order to design and plan sooooo many patterns, fabrics, quilts, notions… AND sew alongs!!!
I’ve never tried appliqué - 2:26:44 BUT- I did just purchase the sew simple set for the Home Town sew along - I’ve watched quite a few of your videos and thought I should give it a try! ❤ Thanks to you, Lori, and to you,
Kimberly for all your great video tutorials. As a newer quilter, I’d be lost without them. ❤
I stumbled on Lori's Applique method and got hooked on the process a few years back. I love the layering of the shapes and building the blocks. It is fun to take the block after glued down with me where I can stitch them down at boring events and in waiting rooms. So portable!
OH MY GOODNESS. My Grandma's name is Mildred and she went by Millie too.
I have to get this quilt pattern. I almost cried when I saw this pattern. She taught me to sew and when she passed, I was gifted her entire quilt room. Some of the material still smells like her and her house. This will be great to make a Minnie to hang on my wall. Thank you soooo mich.
I love the name Mildred. My mother's middle is name Mildred. My mother hates it!! I remember as a child, I thought it was so beautiful!!! Millie as a nick name is sweet ❤
Lori, I love all your houses~~~they are absolutely beautiful!
Love this live stream with Lori Holt. Her fabrics are phenomenal. Her snowman pattern is calling to me. 😊
Great show with questions and answers.
When I started quilting, appliqué was one of my least favorite things to do. But then I fell in love with all things Lori and she completely turned me around on it. Her method turned something I found tedious and frustrating, into something fun! I'm so glad too because it opens up so many more opportunities to make different types of quilts. ❤
Hi Kimberly and Lori! I love Lori's applique method. I use it on quilt labels and I have several of Lori's quilts planned but right now I'm quilting a vintage quilt top on my home sewing machine. Thank you both for the video!
I’m not very good at appliqué yet but I want to be, because I think it’s so cute and I love watching Lori’s CZcams videos on how to do appliqué. I feel like I’m sitting in the sewing room with her. It’s so wonderful, Lori thank you for being so transparent on your quilting journey and sharing that part of your life with us.🩷
Lori's applique method is by far my favorite. It is so much easier and always turns out so nicely. Thanks for a wonderful video, I enjoyed watching you both together again.
Lori and Kimberly. You ladies truly compliment each other. Thank you for your hard work. You both are amazing and inspiring.
Thank you for the video/live. I love applique , it is one of my favorite things to do, I hand applique while listening to quilting blogs. love everything Lori Holt.
I never did appliqué before in my life. I love all of Lori’s quilt alongs so I jumped in with both feet! I did the Calico Garden and I’m hooked!!!! Her blog is awesome and her technique is so easy that even I did it with a great result. Thank you Lori!!! I’m a forever fan and can’t wait to jump in on the scarecrow sew along ❤
I’ve actually made some pretty nice stuff with the needle turn method . My grandmother taught me. Our first lesson was when I was 9!
My eye sight isn’t what it used to be… I recently tried a sew simple project! WHAT FUN‼️ it’s really easy… with a little patience anyone CAN DO IT‼️
It’s my goal to use Lori’s method and make a 20 block quilt that tells my life story… Thanks Lori Holt for all the idea, tips and tricks. Now I can make the quilt I want to make ❤🎉
I'm a new quilter meaning Less then 2 years, apologies is on my list to try this year. After hearing Lori's method I think it is viable for me.
I had never appliqué until I did flea market flowers and I loved it. I found it surprisingly easy to follow Lori’s method. I sooo love anything LH and I’m thankful that FQS is there to find all of her lines.
Fabulous live!! I love everything Lori Holt!! My mother-in-law did applique quilts about 30 years ago. When I tried to do applique like her.. it never came out right. Fast forward to a few years ago when I discovered Lori Holt and watched her do applique... It changed everything. I've made lots of applique projects using Lori's method and absolutely love the results!! ❤❤❤
My first appliqué quilt was Prairie Meadow. I purchased the quilt kit from FQS and followed Lori's blog and CZcams channel for lessons. For a first time appliqué project it was a huge undertaking and the quilt top turned out beautiful. I would suggest a smaller project to introduce oneself into appliqué, but I do not regret all that I learned and the outcome of the prairie meadow quilt top. Thank you to Lori Holt and FQS for the tutorials and the encouragement to be the boss of my quilts!
What a wonderful video, Lori and Kimberly are just naturals when they work together! So many wonderful things coming, I think I will be asking everyone for FQS gift cards for Christmas! Lori, thank you for sharing your appliqué method ~ I am a beginning quilter and have watched your tutorial more than once. Now I just have to be brave enough to try it myself. Thanks to both of you for all that you do for the quilting and cross stitch communities!
I am excited to start my first appliqué project, which will be home town. I have had to delay it as I broke my arm in three places the week before the sew along started. 😢 watching the videos and are preparing me if I win I am finally able to start my own quilt. I’m so grateful to both Lorrie and Kimberly for all the incredible tutorials you provide us. As a New Quilter gives me so much confidence to feel like I am capable of accomplishing so much.
As a beginner quilter, I love seeing what Lori makes and sews. My sisters are teaching me and I just bought the collection for Hometown. I just got my first sewing machine too, and I'm almost 60 years old. I'm scared of applique, but love the look. I'm a paper crafter, and it looks so similar. I'll have to watch some CZcams videos.
Welcome to the addicting Quilting World!!!
Enjoyed this video so very much!! Enjoyed seeing all the new fabrics and patterns and just hearing all the info along the way. I have been a Lori Fan since 2013, when I found Riley Blake Designs while looking for some quilt ideas. Lori was just bringing out her first Bake Sale fabric line, which led me to Fat Quarter Shop. The doors that opened for me at that time, have been a wonderful journey - that I am so grateful for.
Before that, I had been a home sewer for a company that did a lot of raw edge applique. We worked mostly with solids, and would cut out two pieces of fabrics simultaneously, so that the shapes matched exactly, before zigzagging them onto print fabrics to make the many designs for baby quilts. (Doubling up the solid fabrics helped so that the print would not show through afterwards). Now working with Lori's Sew Interfacing - I keep thinking back, how much easier applique would have been years before.
Again, thank you for a wonderful video, Kimberly and Lori!
What a treat!! I listened (and looked) while I sewed. Lori Holt is my hero!! Love you two together - just "sew" much fun!
Lori to Lori... I was afraid at first, and I tried your technique, and it wasn't as hard as I had myself worked up for. I am a very beginner quilter. That was really one of the first things I've tried..." Go big or go home" they say. I have purchased 4 of your books so far....and Love them all... Thank you for being you....
I love love all the inspiration I get when watching any of your videos with Lori Holt! Thank you for sharing! I have always been afraid of appliqué… but after hearing Lori talk about it… and the fact that I can watch her videos on how to do appliqué, I feel like I can at least try a small project, like a mini quilt to start with. Thank you for all you do! ❤
I'm very new to quilting but not new to sewing. I was anxious about applique until I discovered Lori Holt world. Your books instructions and videos make the process effortless. I just started the chicken salad quilt but with my neurological disorder I'm sure it's going to take awhile. I'm confident tho because Lori walks you through it all. I was afraid of the actual turning of the fabric but it seems therapeutic to me. Enjoy your day y'all. These videos are amazingly inspirational.
Lori-your applique method is my very favorite. I first appliquéd with the starch, paintbrush & freezer paper-did a whole quilt that way & found it so tedious & fiddly. Then I tried needleturn & did ok, but was a little frustrated & so didn’t find it enjoyable. I tried paper back raw edge fusible-didn’t like the look of it & didn’t think it held up well. When I found your method about 4 yrs ago, I found it to be enjoyable & relaxing. When you came out with yr own interfacing-that was a game changer. Your method isn’t tedious or frustrating. I’ve made many of yr applique quilts-have won Best of Show & many other rewards with them. I will always use yr interfacing & your method. Thank you for it!
Hello miss Lori...well I have never been much of an applique kinda quilter and I been quilting for over 25 years...I tried to do applique many years ago and it was just a fail...never felt the need to ever want to do it again...however...your designs have me drooling..I purchased sew simple shapes a while back and still never made the quilt...I loved your teapot quilt that was all pieced and I purchased the kit from FQS years back...its just beautiful...I loved your granny chic fabric so much I purchased the fat quarter bundle and hung on to it till just recently I made the Sewcelites 2 sew along with the fabric and just WOW it is just simply beautiful and I used black for all the background...I might one day get brave enough to attempt applique but I have your sew by row quilt to get workinig on as well...thank you so much for all these beautiful fabrics and designs..one of your biggest whole hearted fans
I haven’t tried appliqué since I was taught needle turn method years ago. I gathered my fabrics, stencils and other materials to make the Bee Vintage Quilt. Can’t wait to start! Looks like fun. ❤️
I really enjoyed today’s livestream.
I used to love looking at applique, but I dreaded having to needleturn my work and didn't always want to see the fraying if I didn't! So when I tried Lori's method years ago, now I love ❤️ 😍 💖 applique!!! But, because of time constraints, I do more of FatQuartershop's pieced patterns. BOTH of you, I love your work, creativity, generosity, humor and how much you feel like friends to people you will never even know. You are amazing, wonderful ladies!!! Thank you so much!!!
I LOVE when you do videos with Lori! I hang on every word. You both are such special people! So many exciting things in the works, I can't wait! I just recently tried Lori's applique method & let me just say, if anyone is on the fence about trying it, do it! It is so easy & her tutorials are so good! I LOVE the look of it & it's so much easier than the old method. Thank you both, Kimberly & Lori for all you do! This was a great video!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I've never done applique. The reason is simply that I haven't done a quilt that required it. Great show! It's always nice to see and hear Lori talk about her projects and her advice about simpler ways of doing things. Have a great weekend and God bless ya'll!
Love it all!!! I do all methods of applique, but I love Lori's method the best because it is so easy and looks so nice. In fact her weight of interfacing is the best and I am HOARDING many packages of her interfacing, I will frequently do 2 versions of her applique quilts at a time. My first quilt was Let's Bake and it was so easy to do it made me feel like a pro. Thank you Lori and Kimberly for sharing what is coming up.
I think it would be accurate to say that Lori is a trendsetter. Loved this! Thank you sew much for all the inspiration and education!
I never used to do applique until I watched Lori's tutorials. She's taught me so much that I love to applique with the method she's taught me. Great seeing you both together!
Dang! Lori doesn’t look like the same person. I didn’t recognize her! Fabulous transformation.
Right!! I showed my husband the before pictures. Lori. .Help people out ...Tell us how you lost the wieght. KETO???
She is amazing, generous, kind, creative…and still has that wonderful speaking voice! 🥰🥰🥰

Same here....good for her...I like the hairdo too !
I love Lori's method for applique! It's the only way to do it. I loved this video. Always enjoy it when you two get together. Love the length of the video too. Had to watch it over a couple of days, but I always had something to look forward to at the end of the day. Keep the awesome videos and great ideas coming!
Lori you are such a talent and a force for creativity. Thank you for your contributions to the quilty community. As far as appliqué- I’m still a new quilter. I absolutely love the look of appliqué. I’m not impressed with my own work yet. I do like the Lori Holt method. My struggle is keeping the interfacing from peeking thru the edges. I’m also still learning how to sew the images neatly. That said, I love the sew simple shapes. Makes it easy-pesie to play and doesn’t require a light box.
I’m in awe of how many fabric collections and patterns you have coming out. I’m a former shop owner, long arm quilter and pattern designer. I also work full time so don’t have capacity to do many but you are amazing. And Kimberly gets all my money. Thanks you both!
This video was amazing and so full of inspiration! Thank you FQS and Lori!! Lori truly designs from her heart and her projects and fabrics just show how much she cares about the people in her life. Kimberly, I never fell out of my chair when you said you pieced Quilted Witch in a weekend!!😮 I need you to teach me how to do that too…it takes me FOREVER to piece a quilt!
Hi Kimberly and Lori!
Great video!! Love all the fun stuff that’s coming up!!
I absolutely love hand appliqué! Your sew simple shapes/interfacing method is perfection. I love how clean the appliqué pieces come out!! And, the quilts are so beautiful with all the little details added in.
Thanks again for the fantastic video!!❤
This was such a fun livestream even though I didn't get to see it live!!! What fun friends!!! I haven't done much applique but I have tried Lori's method and it is fun to do!! Chicken Salad is on my to-do list!! Thank you Kimberly and Lori for such a fun show!!!
The quilted snowman is my favorite! Can't wait. Love all of the new designs!!!!
Lori's method of applique is the best for me with the finished edges, and it has made me really enjoy applique so much more. Also, I love the combination of piecing and applique in the patterns.
Really enjoyed this chat with Lori Holt. I love applique, I've done a lot of raw edge, but once I discovered Lori Holts method I can't go back! Love it and all things quilted!
Lori’s applique method is one of several different applique methods that I have tried. I enjoyed using this method, but I found that it wasn’t always the best method to use when constructing intricate applique pieces. When I work with a rounded, less detailed shape, it works great. I have fallen in Love with wool appliqué as I went through the process of learning the best methods of applique for me. THANK YOU Lori for sharing your passion of quilting and applique with everyone. Your patterns & books make it very easy to follow your directions and they make it possible to construct beautiful projects that we could only dream of before. 🪡🧵
I have not working any of your applique quilts. However, I have watched several videos on how you do them. I have your
Spelling Bee quilt book and some of your fabrics. (So pretty that I have not decided yet what I want to do with them just yet) Maybe 2024 is the year to break the seal and learn a new skill. May pull my Bee quilt book out and look it over once again. Lots of fun ideas to come up with. Thank you for sharing of your wonderful creative ideas Lori!!
I watched your video of you and Lori loved it I have all her booked and never have I appliqué d before because it did not look good but I have mad several of loris appliqué pieces and home town is what I am working on now and I just can’t stop thank you Lori love it.
Luv luv luv you two together!! I am an applique novice but Lori's methods are real competence and confidence builders. I have a habit of poking holes in my seams still when turning out so I only use my fingertip or fingernail for now. I am trying to build my library of Lori's books. So glad to see FQS has so many still available.
Luved this live stream with Lori...so many new fabrics and projects to look forward to.
I have never liked applique..im a piecer...but i do like the way Lori does hers. Its the only way i can do applique.
Thanks for a fun video! It was nice to see all the new fabrics. I've used Lori's applique method (and sew simple shapes) on small projects - a table runner, project bags, etc. I think it's fun, and the results turn out great. It takes time, but I machine stitch around the edge to make it go a bit faster - rather than hand sew.
Just love this video. I just did applique when I did a quilt for my happy place. The so simple shapes, with your interfacing, made it so fun and easy. Watching along with your videos, cleared up any questions I had. I can't wait to pick out another pattern to keep going with my applique.
Thank you, LH & KJ...haha
It took 5 revisits to see this entire, WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING & sew many suggestions & INSPIRATIONS on MORE LH designs & fabrics & notions.
Personally, I enjoy the Needle Turn Appliqué. I am enjoying Your method, too, LH...
Not needing the 3 card boxes, thanks anyway.
I entered dates of releases on the 1st of the month per KJ's recitation...& noted the same on my payday to "save $ ahead for"..... sew I can hopefully purchase what I want B4 it sells out!,
Very enjoyable time spent with you both. Thanks, FQS Staff & LH "staff" !!!
Oh, Lori. The new house blocks are just so wonderful!! I can't wait to make some. Your patterns (and talent) never cease to amaze me. Thank you for all you ladies do!
Sometime this past winter I ordered the Lori Holt jigsaw puzzle that has adorable sewing items on it and throughly enjoyed working it. It was so cute. Fast Forward…. Now the Mercantile series is featuring all the cute sewing room items in the Seed Packet patterns! I am soooooo excited!! What a wonderful surprise! I can’t wait to make these and decorate my sewing room 😊💗
Appliqué-- I am on the edge to begin appliqué. I fear I will not be good at it. After watching Lori’s videos and seeing HOW ADORABLE her projects are…I so badly want to get started. I just need to do it! Thank you for all the fabrics, patterns and inspiration. You both are instrumental in my motivation. Blessings❤
I was so excited to see Lori today! My favourite fabric, designer and all around inspiration 😊. Her appliqué method made me jump in and do the Flea Market Flowers quilt and I was nervous. But it’s SO easy and step by step, I now have the most beautiful quilt. Working on the appliqué blocks for Prairie Meadow and loving every minute of it. Thank you Lori for sharing your brain and kindness with us ❤
I like machine applique. I have never tried your method but plan to soon. It looks interesting to me. Thanks, Lori and Kimberly, for your time!
Great show!!!! I love Lori’s method of appliqué!! It’s a lot easier than turning the edges under and it just makes the edges look more perfect 😍 thank you for the fun show and showing us all the new things to come in 2024. 🙌🏻
Oh my goodness! What an absolute delight to “visit” with Kimberly and Lori! So many incredible projects coming! I better be saving my $$ and carving out lots of time. You guys are THE BEST!! I don’t mind doing appliqué but never seem to be satisfied with the tack down stitches. I just learned how to use my scan n cut to cut out appliqué pieces for my embroidery designs! I’m having a blast making all sorts of things! Thanks for all the inspiration!
When I first started, I did applique. Love it so relaxing needle turn. Then watching Lori do her's with the interface and sewing it on the machine. I was scared to change my ways. I have to say she converted me. I just love her method.
I love applique, thanks for all you do. I also have helped my grandkids and son applique , was a lot of fun. 😊
Best. Show. Ever. Thank you! I love Lori’s appliqué method. I use it whenever I appliqué now.
Work has been so busy - and I was not able to see the replay until today. Great video. Love Lori and Kimberly together. Truly, I like Lori's method of applique better than raw edge with adhesive type material. It is much easier to FMQ and the result is fabulous!!! Lori is looking fabulous!! I need her diet!
I tried another appliqué method and found it to be way too tedious. I believe that is the reason I haven’t tried your method. But, my husband and I both love your mercantile quilt so I’m going to take the plunge 🥰 Lori Holt and Kimberly Jolly - definitely a quilting power house!!!! I enjoy your patterns, fabric, and tutorials. You both have greatly influenced, inspired, and improved my quilting. Thank you for everything you do 🥳
I have never appliqued before, but understanding how you reach it, I think I would like to give it a try, I think I would be able to do it. Thank you for the work you do to teach us the right and easiest way to piece a block and to put a scrappy quilt together.
Enjoyed today's live. I started using Lori's applique method a few years ago, and it is my favorite method. Once in a while I will do raw edge. I am grateful for her tutorials and sharing her tips and techniques with us.....thank you!
I love your appliqué quilts and I want to do the Bee Happy quilt, however I don't know how to do appliqué. I'd say I'm an advance beginner to somewhat intermediate. I watched your videos and I am going to try the Bee Happy it and I just know I can do it because you do great instruction on your videos. First I needed to make one of your quilts to gain some confidence before I tackle Bee Happy. Well I joined the scrappiness is happiness sew along and I did it! My quilt actually just came back from a long arm quilter and I love it!! I am hooked and I'm going to make more of your quilts including Bee Happy and the adorable Snowman quilt for 2024! Thank you for the inspiration and videos Lori, you ROCK!
Loved your get together, I first learned to applique from Eleanor Burns with interfacing. So, Lori when I watched your methods I got excited all over again, thank you for sharing your love of quilting. Not to leave you out, Kimberly, love your tutorials too.
I love applique, it is my favorite form of quilting. I finished your Prairie Meadow quilt a while ago, and using your method made it doable. I adore your fabric. Thank You Lori !
I watch your CZcams showing how to appliqué. I get all excited and then I hesitate. I made one block with you and it’s all pinned and glued to the background fabric and the sewing it down is intimidating to me. I’m waiting for the day I feel brave cause I know it will look awesome. Hopefully that’ll be soon!! 🥰
I love your appliqué method Lori!🧵🪡🥰 It is easy to appliqué with that turned edge and I can prep the blocks to take on road trips! So excited for your new BlackBerry pattern with the Jolly Bars. Also the Christmas Stockings and snowman quilt. Thanks for the great video. I always enjoy when you 2 get together😊. Hugs
❤ both KJ & LH, isn't it such a blessing to have a great sew buddy ❤️ you guys remind me of myself & my sew buddy, I miss her so much, we learned quilting together in the early '90s. I have done some appliqué in the past & plan to hand appliqué my Hexis onto blocks one day. Love everything Lori Holt , have 4 books and a 'few' cross stitching patterns. Love the Let's make a Snowman kit coming. I have just completed the Twinkle Stars & starting on Vintage Kites, all while working on my Chicken Salad (pieced version). I am on the 400 plan too Lori 😅 so many projects to do. Happy Stitchin'
I have tried appliqué before but not your technique Lori. Years ago, I sewed each of my children a Christmas stocking and appliquéd a different picture on the front of each one using Debbie Mumms book and patterns. I remember the appliqué was much easier than I thought it would be and the stockings turned out cute!
Have used the Sew Simple Shapes and enjoyed using them. Applique is my favorite. Watching this video on this rainy Saturday morning. Placed my order and also got the free stitch card boxes. Excited to get them. So many fun quilts and fabrics. Lori looking fabulous! Thanks Kimberly for this video.
I'm working on the Calico Garden quilt. It's my first applique using Lori's applique method. I've been sewing the blocks by hand. I've got almost all my blocks glued down and have been sewing them as I have the time. ( Started on the Quilted Witch sew along , multiple projects going at the same time lol!) I'm in love with every quilt pattern Lori designs! Good thing I finally retired and have more free time!
I do love your method of appliqué. I've made a couple of your appliqué quilts and it's so much easier than needle turn. I've still got to finish my Chicken Salad quilt--just need to sew together! Sew much fun!! Thank you Lori and Kimberly!!!
Lori Holt ....my goodness, so many beautiful designs and fabric coming up in the next year! You make my head spin with ideas and plans. Great video FQS!
Hi Kimberly & Lori, I absolutely love the process of your applique method. It has really helped me get over my fear of appliqueing. I never could get my applique projects to look crisp and neat. Love your interfacing. Thank you so much for all your help ❤️💐
I’ve only tried one method, and it’s Lori’s. No reason to try anything else. I love it!
My first quilt that I made was a queen-size quilt and hand applique. Today I love machine and hand applique. I also inherited my great grandmother's quilt that was hand applique, which she won first prize at the state fair in Minnesota. She also hand appliqued a twin quilt for me as a teenager. I, of course, love your techniques for hand applique and have templates and fabric from your lines. Love everything you do❤
I’m about to try Applique with the Home Town Quilt Kit! It is going to be my first big Applique quilt. I dread the preparation in prior to sewing in comparison to piecing, we get to cut and sew, where as with applique, there is a lot of prep that has to be done.. but I’m so inspired with Lori and pumped up to try it this year!
I just love y’all’s relationship. Also love Lori’s longer hair!
I LOVE the mercantile collection! Stunning! ❤😊😮❤
Lori I love all of your collections, I did your Calico Garden quilt. It was the most difficult quilt I have done to date, but now it gives me the confidence to do others. I immediately did the Vintage Sampler and now I feel that all applique is a bit easier with that Calico Garden quilt as a reference.
Love the quilt, and your ideas. Of course you make things look so easy. And Lori you look great, love the new you.
I've been doing applique for years and love it. My favorite method is needle turn, but like your method for larger pieces. I find the interfacing can make it kinda thick though when lots of pieces are stacked. On the next one I make, I think I'm going to trim out the excess interfacing in the center of the piece and see how that works.
before discovering you and your CZcams channel, I attempted to make some applique templates to use in my mother's memory quilt. I really struggled with the decision I made, use a second piece of fabric for the back. Then I found you. Your technique of using interfacing. I have since purchased a total of 5 of your Sew Simple Shapes and currently making your Hometown quilt. Thank you for all you do, and so graciously share!
Loved this live and all the information given. I’m a new quilter this year. I’ve been watching Lori’s appliqué process and it’s stunning. It is definitely my style however I’m horrified to attempt it. I do plan on learning the process next year after I get a little more comfy with making the quilt tops. Thank you both for all the tips and tricks.
You two are such a joy to watch ❤
OMG! The mercantile quilt! Kimberly is doing this one too? I’m definitely quilting and appliquing along with u
Wow ladies this was so much fun to watch! Kimberly, these are my favorite livestreams-interviews with Lori. Lori, I have two of your applique quilts going right now. Prairie Meadow and Autumn Love. I really do like your applique method very much and prefer it most of the time to raw edge. P.S. you girls both look great! 😊
Love what u girls do. My great grandkids r learning to sew with me . I have them watching the shows
I love these houses!!!!!! I do not have those sewing skills. But I love watching your videos.
I just heard Lori say “I’m a scrappy sewer at heart”. That needs to be on a charm or needle minder! Love that thought ❤
