Oh Lori your videos are always such a delightful surprise to come upon! Nice way to end the week. Thank you for everything you offer and teach us!! It's always a day brightener when Lori is on.

[@nancisailormoy9135]

I hand wash all my dishes and always use a drying mat and this project is just too cute and easy. I am not doing the chicken salad so just ordered a jelly roll and the dish towel fabric to make a few of these. Thank you for all these amazing projects. I have followed you for years back when it was just your blog but really enjoying seeing your on youtube now.

[@dcwatashi]

Just buy the dish mat at the Dollar Tree and sew your strips on top

[@bethschluep7914]

Thank you for the detailed explanation of your postings for both blog & KZbin for those of us coming in later.

[@candacespaulding3901]

Lori you are an amazing teacher! Very well done. As a former teacher I love that you reach all learning styles in your you tube videos. The haptic- hands on, the visual and the auditory learners!!! Kudos to Cassie too! Candace Spaulding🥰

[@vrypreshus]

This is a good way to use old bath towels repurpose them to make a dish mat, great!

[@shelleyfreeman3564]

Lori, you have such a heart of a teacher. I wonder if you were ever a school teacher. Thanks for sharing your creativity! Your quilting, stitching and cross stitch videos are my favorite videos.

[@juneharris8068]

[@sewhappysarahr8912]

I have been needing a new dish mat! Thank you for this video. This design would also make a cute bath mat.

[@leonakofoed289]

Another project - dish mats! Oh I do love your beautiful quilts mind. Thanks, Lori!

[@Linda-gi8pr]

Your talent and organizationis unbelievable❤ I am in awe!

[@marthaburnum3925]

I have just recently found your channel and amazing fabric and projects. I am loving it all! I love all your vintage items and speaking of your kitchen, I would just love to see it! I imagine it is full of vintage beautiful things!

[@shelleyvanhouten27]

Very cute idea! Never thought of making a dish mat. I’m watching your crochet tutorial - again - 😅 I’m going to learn!

[@conqueringmountscrapmorewi2509]

Hi, I hope you had a lovely day! I had a busy day in my sewing room, playing with strings of fabric and now I get to watch you! I hope you have a beautiful week ahead. Thank you for posting this video, sharing your time and talent.

[@teriadams7398]

I don't have a dishwasher, and with all the canning I would love a few of these as I run out of dish towels. Thanks Lori just adorable as always.

[@kathylara3655]

Happy Sunday. I am enjoying my chickens. Thanks for drying mat idea.

I like the drying mat idea. I’ll have to make one too. Thank you for the great ideas your books are very versatile.

[@pepavolpe]

Thanks again for sharing your great ideas.

[@lisacameron6004]

Love the drying mat idea! And I agree we could all use one a bit bigger than the normal ones you can buy at the store! Thanks for another fun video!

[@RhondaReed]

I love your fabrics, but I think cook book is my favorite.

[@colleenblankenship5549]

You are so wonderfully talented!

[@idabrandon5054]

I love all of your videos, I learn something every time. I use a drying mat for my dishes so I need to make one, thank you for giving me ideas. Thank you for making the videos.

[@darylcatherineholt7852]

Great drying mat idea Lori! Thank you! I noticed that you changed the curtains but the pressing board. I like the new ones.

[@janinerosenke5463]

What a beautiful channel. Your machines are amazing. So is your business. Hugs from Canada.

[@melindarx]

Add this to my list of things to do! Making a scrappy tablecloth/kitchen quilt for my kitchen table now with Cookbook so this is a must! Thanks, Lori! You’re sew creative. ❤️

[@kathyburch9591]

What a cute porject!

[@8machines62]

This is such a great idea. I use towels all the time! I’m going to make one. I had a fall a month ago and stopped sewing. I’m feeling better and hope to get to the quilt along in April.

[@huisuk]

Thank you. Those blocks are super cute

[@cindyc7868]

Very much looking for Spring. Snowing here in NW Ohio today. Thanks for sharing your ideas and talent with us.

Thank you Lori! I enjoy your videos so much!

[@Seasiren1215]

Love this idea. I use dish mats all the time. Super cute. Love the stove block. Thanks for sharing.

[@DotJFreel]

I really love that drying mat idea! Might make one myself. So in love with your fabrics!

[@stacierisen8870]

[@grandmalovesmebest]

Happy to see you. I really need a drying mat right now.😊

[@lynetteperry3559]

wonderful patterns

[@christianesouter2080]

Love your books

[@denisepineda1788]

I love your videos! You always give us such great ideas. I would not have thought to do a cute dish drying mat. That is a good way to dress up your kitchen decorations. I have missed your videos the last few weeks, but we know you are probably busy designing your next line. Many thanks!

[@valmartinez-west9725]

Thanks for all your inspiration for the left over pieces from the chicken quilt. Love your pink sewing machine 😊

[@gerryfix1009]

Love that drying mat!🌻🌻🌎

[@marionbartley214]

[@fridaceja8423]

Wow!! I love it, ❤️ I am going to start cutting this weekend... Thank you Lori ...

[@kogrady31]

I loved this video so much! Seeing how cute the cookbook collection is I had to order a FQ bundle!😍. I don’t have a specific plan for it yet but I am going to pet it for a while first, lol! I can not emphasize enough what a huge inspiration and creative motivator you are!!! Always such a thrill to watch all of your videos...I have watched several of them more than once. Thank you for your time and brilliant creative mind!💕💕

[@theclosetquilterelliemiria198]

i love your fabrics and videos Lori ! I do want to see what the dish mat looks like when it's done :)

[@jeannettegipson5239]

Love your video as always. ❤️Thank You very much 🪡🧵❤️

[@vikkivanveldhuizen2290]

Awesome!!!

[@amandaaskew7606]

Oh my!!!! I will be making a dish mat this weekend!!! I also prefer dish mats over racks, and agree, store bought mats are too small! I usually end up setting out a a dish towel too!

[@lindanahler413]

Great ideas!!

[@carolynpoole7314]

I love it!

[@mdnisg61]

Thanks for giving us a sneak peak of upcoming chicken salad chickens. I always wonder what to do with left over fabric. Your ideas are wonderful. I’ve actually discovered a way to use your flower sewing machine template that lays to show your 1/4” sewing line. To sew diamond shapes together to meet up perfectly each time.

[@shelleythomas1811]

Lori your work is so beautiful, I want to be as good as you one day!!❤️

[@jackiehill6557]

Loved this video. I have just bought your book ‘Spelling Bee’, there are so many things I want to do from this book.🥰🥰

[@hucl_berrystitcher]

Watching you on my phone....I then realize I don't have my phone, where did I leave it?? Then, I realize I am watching my phone. 🤭

[@cherylcrawfordski6770]

Working now 😊

[@nancy-katharynmcgraw2669]

Many thanks.

[@Bmon-js2lk]

🌼💕Love everything.🥰💕🌸

[@lindarussell1932]

Cute!!

[@myraludik4232]

I love the chickens Lori. Can you perhaps tell me when the sew simple shapes of the chicken salad quilt will be available again. Thanks for all the lovely videos

[@cidamota8038]

Eu amo tudo isso q vc posta ❤️ mas estou apaixonada pelas máquinas 😍 cada dia 😍 uma de cada cor vc tem coleção 😍

[@claraisabelanayalizarazo1710]

Lori que linduras ; todo lo que hace , los animalitos me fascinan , la belleza de la naturaleza toda expresada con sus bellas telas , sería LINDO lograr hacer parte de todas esas linduras , DIOS la guarde y le de mucha salud para que siga compartiendo tantas cosas LINDAS 😘

[@myraludik4232]

Thank you Lori. I always enjoy your video's!

Saludos desde Colombia 💓

[@joannehickok4653]

So cool how did you know I was looking for a drying mat?

[@debpangle9964]

💛🌻💛

[@ritaarce4448]

I love your projects!!! I was wondering what the apparatus is on your sewing machine.

[@angesews8110]

Hi what is your seam guide on the machine

[@kathrynpickering1497]

I love your pink Singer! Did you paint it? I also use a dish drying mat and now want to make my own as well! My kitchen is not vintage but I still am crazy for all of your vintage fabrics!!💗

[@annguglielmino8989]

I don't quilt but I am a sucker for a vintage sewing machine. I have several. A vintage pink Singer that you actually use??? I'm in!

[@MakerandDreamer]

Hi Lori, great videos thank you. Can you tell me what the little pieces of fabric do before and after your main piece. Thanks again

[@BellaSandella]

I’m new here but so enjoy your channel. I’ve seen on several tutorials that you’re using a ring binder with each project, such as Chicken salad. Where do you sell the binders and supplies or do you have a tutorial about them? Thanks so much 😊

[@mmakie4663]

Hi Lori. You may have answered this question in a video or a comment but I have not seen it, but I wanted to know where did you get your sewing machine painted? I was just given a Featherweight and I am so excited! It is in shop to see if it is good working order, but it would be fun if I can get it painted one day. Thank you.

[@cattrimm3090]

Love all the ideas for using all of your books. Where can I find your Paper Doll quilt pattern? I would love to use my left over fabrics for paper dolls.

[@karenmattingly8527]

I'm enjoying your blogs. Please tell where you got your Singer Featherweight machines. I've seen you use this beautiful pearlized pink one and a sunny yellow one. Mine got lost and I really had a sentimental attachment to it.

[@dawndemulling1371]

I am interested in your vintage machine. How do you make the crochet flower, and where did you get the orange spool holder. I love your featherweights

[@marionbartley214]

Lori I don't have any clappers. from watching you in this video you mentioned, it absorbs the heat and makes the seem lie flatter? Sounds like I should invest in some. Thank you for that tip.

[@mariawells8026]

The clapper works wonderfully!! Fat Quarter Shop sells them.

[@marionbartley214]

@@mariawells8026 thank you for your reply
