I moved to live this Country three years ago, original I from COSTA RICA 🇨🇷 is a small country in Central America. For eight months ago I am follow you and I have been buying some of your fabric they are so beautiful. I am your fan, I love all that you teach. I am learning with you two important things one to sew and another one to understand more the English language. My apologies if I made a mistake my English, for now, isn’t fluent but I am learning 💝💝
Silvia, your English is so much better than my Spanish. Muy bien!!!
Silvia, my first child was born in San Jose and I love your country. I miss all the "Pura Vida" friends my husband and I made while he was working there for the US government. Dalinda in Texas
Welcome!
Welcome to the US, Sylvia.
Bravo to you and thank you for sharing! Watching these videos for me are part of my learning and also connecting with other quilters!
Using the bowl for the shorter strips is a wonderful tip. You are the most organized quilter and everything you make is beautiful. Thank you for sharing with us.
Oh my! Your red Singer is amazing! This is so organized even though it is scrappy. It really makes sense. Thank you for this tutorial!
Not only did I enjoy the tutorial, I also enjoyed being with you in your sewing room. You have surrounded yourself with soulful inspiration. The environment alone sparks joy and speaks of the love you have for your grandmother.
Lori! Your vintage sewing machines are beautiful! Red is my fav color so when I saw this red sewing machine it made my eyes so happy! :) LOL! Anyway, thanks for another fab tutorial! Lori, I have scraps for days and this is a fab way for me to use them to make an adorable scrappy quilt! Scrappy is my fav! I have been quilting since 1990 and I think I love quilting more with each passing year! My sewing room is my happy place and I am addicted to fabric! LOL! You are one of my favorite fabric designers! I love your new Prim collection! I love the happy colors you use! Anyway, Thanks for sharing and blessings to you!
I was expecting to see the aqua machine, and she threw us for a loop with a ruby machine and matching chair!
The Brownie Troop are going to love this. A String quilt is a sewing project they can do with their Moms. Thank you Lori. Pat-South Padre Island, Texas
First let me start with saying how adorable the red Minnie Mouse Singer is, I just love it. I have been wanting to make a string quilt and your instructions are spot on for me, I just love how you keep the fabric strips organized. I did see string quilt that my great grandma made from wool scraps she must have had from making clothes, they would use wool because they lived in Colorado and would have had cold winters, my grandma had them on the beds in her trailer and we loved them because you never got cold and the weight felt good. Thank you for sharing your talents and your darling sewing space your videos are so calming to watch.
First one I ever made was in ‘92 in Florida. We were just visiting family and the neighbor was a quilter. She invited me over and we both made a quilt that day! Her, the expert - me, the nervous but willing newbie. I still have the quilt. She let me use all her Christmas scraps. Best day ever in my sewing life. I’ve been called a pro now a days but back then I was skeptical about making quilt tops, much less the whole quilt.
i am in love with your little red machine
I have just discovered your CZcams channel Lori. I watch, learn, and enjoy many others, but you definitely get the prize for easy, clear instructions and ORGANIZATION. I can only aspire to your level of order in my sewing room. Thanks for all the great designs and sewing tips!
I am so glad you set up a CZcams channel. Such a great teacher, and very informative.. My only issue ...... Weekly, I could watch you for hours everyday. Your projects are beautiful. Until next week 😀
I've been making quilts for 25 years, but I am learning soooooo much from your tutorials. And, I love all the color in your sewing space. It's like a cuteness explosion happened in there!!
Love the string blocks, and love tearing off the paper! Love snapping beans too, must have an inner, subconscious, destructive streak.
😂
Thank you so much for all your time and teaching showing us so much. I am 61 and started sewing with my Grandma and Mom when I was 10. So a lot time ago. Your videos bring back so many memories to me. I still have my very first quilt I made with my Grandma. I love this block. Thank you again.
بہت ہی پیارا اور آسان۔ lovely, it gives a courage to a busy person like me do the same
Lori love the idea of using interfacing. Thank you for letting us know that you dont need anything else but backing.
Love the forgiving nature of this and the fact it is scrappy but no fuss with seam matching. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Lori, its always enjoyable joining you in your sewing space to watch you create.
Hi Lori. I've watched this several times, and love what you're doing. Thanks for explaining it so well.
I LOVE this. I'm getting a real backlog of projects to try. Thanks, Lori Holt -- you're a gem!
I do love a scrappy string quilt! Your sewing room is such a happy place. Thank you for sharing all the beautiful work you do!
OMG! Even your fabric matches your vintage sewing room - love it. Thank you for sharing this. I will definitely try it.
Wow just love this string quilt !😊
I am in awe of your limitless creativity!
OMG i love your studio space! So light, bright, colourful! Its such a joy to watch you work. Thank you!
Love it! Thank you! You make those Grandmas proud!
This is so much nicer than using paper as a foundation. Thank you for the wonderful tip
Love love this tutorial! Scrappy String blocks were one of the first blocks I learned how to make and they have always been my favorite. Love your scrappy blocks CZcams series and can’t wait to see the next one. I hope this series never ends! 😍😍
I just love all these scrappy block options! I have always loved scrappy quilts and this one looks sew beautiful and easy-peasy! Thanks Lori for your constant inspiration!❤️
L❤️VE this tutorial! Thank you Lori for making these videos, we all benefit from them!
The string design quilt looks so good with the fabrics you design. Love it! Thanks, Lori.
Thank you so very much for this series. You’ve given me lots of ideas for projects that will make great gifts as well as helping me up my technique & skill games. I appreciate you!
Lori. I just love watching your tutorials.

This is a wonderful way to use up my scraps. I probably need to sew a couple more quilts in order to have enough variety as I am a fairly new quilter. Thanks a bunch!!
Love your tutorial on the Strings Quilt Blocks. I actually bookmarked this from your blog - so that I can easily find it when needed again. Love that it is on You Tube now.
My grandma had one, really nice and did scalloped hand quilting. 😊 Nice memories.
This is just wonderful. I absolutely love the variety of colors! Thank you!
Love how you teach this episode. Love how you speak. Not too much talking like some of them, boring.
I love how you surround yourself with color and sunshine bright sewing room. Thanks for the great videos!
Enjoying this “Sew Your Stash” series! Would love to see more like this.❤
I love this idea, perfect pillow gift for daughters birthday. 💕
I just love this design the way u did it. Im a new quilter and I like when I can be taught new things to do. Thankyou for your share video.
Love,love,love this! Great use of scraps! Another winner Lori!💕
I love your little sewing machine. So cute.
I thought so too, adds a little more umph while sewing
Hello Lori, love your new machine! Thank you for sharing the awesome tute, your creativity is much appreciated. Being productive with scraps is one of my fave things about being a quilter.
Reminds me of my grandma and mom style of quilting. Love it
I love the fact how organize you are. It makes sewing sow much easier. Love your creations
Donna thanks for your step by step tutorials. I have learned so many wonderful tips from you.
This is wonderful way to use scrap fabric
I'm brand new to the hobby, not using batting is something I'm so pleased I don't have to do, I didn't realise it was optional depending on what I want to create. Thank you for this video x
Yay, yay, I love what I see already!
Thank you for another great video!! I have never thought about not using batting with a string quilt, such a great idea!! It would make such a great summer quilt!! 😍
I love how organized your scraps are!
Sew Becca Me too. Wish mine were like that.
I Was thinking that also, wish my scraps were this organized🤦🏽 gotta do better😂
I try every now and again to organize my scraps and “be like Lori”. And then I give up. Until I see her working with scraps. Then I start the process all over again. It’s a cycle.
Haha..my thoughts too
So cute! Thanks, Lori ❤️
I have never seen interfacing used as the foundation. I love that idea! Several years ago I made a string quilt using muslin as a foundation… It was so much fun to make. I really enjoyed seeing your red Featherweight. I have a black one that was my mother’s and I learn to sew on that machine. I recently brought it out to play... Such a cute and reliable machine with good memories😊
Are they painted? Were they all black in the beginning?
You really are a fabulous teacher. Thanks for sharing your creativity, tips, and techniques.
Lori I absolutely love your videos and have learned so much. I am making my daughter a quilt like this one. I sewed the strips on white fabric. It will be a king size. Thank you so much for the videos!!!!
Love it! Never thought of using interfacing. My granddaughter, who I am teaching off and on, is going to love this!!
I love your everything..from notions to quilt instructions ♥️
I'm really enjoying your sew your stash series. String scraps are my favorite way to use my scraps. They are useful for so many projects. A friend of mine dumps her strings in a bag and just uses them as she pulls them out! Her creations are just lovely. I'm not that adventurous.
The quilt on your design wall is beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Excellent tutorial - really well put together and I'm going to have a go...sometimes you want an easy technique to free your mind but to still be stitching and this is it! Thank you. xx
I love this scrappy tutorial. Your fabrics are so pretty and soothing.
One good point I got from your video is the speed with which these strips go together! I will go thru my scraps and get them pre-cut to these strip sizes; I think this will speed up future projects! Thank you for sharing.
Love the tutorial, and as a bonus I now have ideas on how I want my craft room to look🥰
Such a cute quilt! I love your bright fabric prints! Using interfacing and just leaving it in is a great idea. I will definitely try that.
Thanks for the tutorial, Lori. I love the idea of using interfacing instead of foundation paper. Going to give this a try.
Thank you Lori for the awesome video teaching us all how to make a scrappy, stripy quilt. I would love to make one like this with all the scraps I have from previous finishes. Love all that you do and I especially loved seeing that beautiful red machine of yours! She is a beauty!
Hola Lori es hermoso y lo haces tan simple de realizar muchas gracias!!!🌺
You make everything look so easy! You've inspired me to try this method! Thank you!
You are so clever, the quilt is adorable. I ordered the little cross stitch sew she did pattern. I am stitching it now. See you next week, stay well and sew on!
Thanks, Lori for another great project idea. Between you and Kimberly, I"ll never be bored! LOL
Love your red featherweight! I have been looking almost everyday for one lol. Love, love, love your videos!
I LOVE that I don’t have to worry about seams matching and I can use any width strips to create a block! And it makes scrappy one! Thanks Lori for wonderful inspiration!
I now use tailor’s clapper for flatter block! I’m buying dry iron too! 😊
What lovely clean colours your fabrics are! And they are similar in design size too. That's why they go so well together. You have a real eye for colour.
Am definitely going to do this, but in pinks and whites for my vicar. She loves pink!
Just starting to sew. Been looking around for ideas how to get going and came across your channel. Thank you so much for the ease of following along with what your doing.
This is one of my favorite scrappy methods.
I'm gonna try this for my bags, I have a bin full of scraps
Love this! Thank you for sharing this with us!
Wow I never considered using a stabilizer. This is great! I'm going to try it with my batting scraps. Can't wait. Thank you so much for the inspiration!
Love live this quilt!! I’m working on one this weekend!!! So fun! You are the best!!!!
I love your sewing machines!
Love this block! Thanks for another great tutorial!❤️✂️❤️
❤ your red machine! Thank you for the lovely tutorial!
I SEW want to do this quilt. I have the interfacing and hope to start soon. Your videos are SEW inspiring ❤️
Love the tutorial and thanks again Lori. I have done this method with batting, but make sure it is 100% cotton batting. If you use polyester, even 80-20, the polyester distorts as it is shifting and melting when heated with a hot iron.
Yes, cotton or wool (and poly shouldn't be used on bedding as it is a fire hazard.)
I love this tutorial!! I can't wait to try this myself! ❤️
You have convinced me to press my seams open rather than to one side. I tried it and could not believe how much flatter and smoother my block was! Impressive! I'm now changing my pressing method! Thank you! Love your projects, videos, and your straight forward teaching method. Thank you for sharing so much with us all!
So glad that you reiterated this technique from Lori! I think I might have missed it.
Thanks for this. You are so kind to share such good ideas!
Lori I made your lovely strip blocks. I made 4 and put the blocks to for a pattern. I used the interfacing idea but I used a thick stiff interfacing I purchased a JoAnns. I was able to cut it the exact size of by 81/2” blocks. The heave interfacing was easy to sew on, but a little hard to turn. Thank you for your great video.
I love your sewing room!! ❤️❤️Can't wait to try this super cute block!!
I've seen these around but never really knew how to do it. Thanks for the tutorial and I hope to make a few using my 1.5" strips. Thanks
dear Lori, you are my eye opener. thanks so much for the technique. never knew that patching works were much easier to do. love from malaysia❤️❤️❤️
Love your vintage sewing market, still working.
Oh I think I just found a project my 11 yr old grand daughter can do, she loves my scrap piles..Thanks Lori
Love the new series!
I have started making a block from each quilt I make. It will be my memory quilt. I also make a little house block (MSQC pattern) if I have enough scraps. Thanks for the tip of using interfacing, I don’t enjoy removing paper.
Looks so fun!!💗
I love all the colored sewing machines.
I love it! I've been looking for something that is simple like this. ❤️
I have been planning on making a couple of string quilts to “eat up” some of my stash. I like the idea of not using any batting for a light weight throw. Sometime you just need a little cuddle. Also, when not using batting, it is a quick quilt to add to just decorate.
I now have “Granny’s Garden” to make and just order “Prim & Proper” quilt kit and cross stitch. I have the “Sew Row by Row” cross stitch. Jus5 wish I could buy some time.😂😂🌸
I love scrappy projects.
