Thank you for the tutorial. Really wonderful that you provide quilters with a free pattern.

[@gramajojo]

Definitely would like a “tour” of your new sewing space. I don’t always see along but I do watch every episode and usually learn something new.

[@melodykemp9685]

Lori, you are one amazing woman!! The quilting world is blessed to have you!

[@SharonCarbine]

Loving the crows, Lori. Thank you for sharing them. Hoping you and your family are thoroughly enjoying your new home! :-D

[@suellyngeorge196]

Thank You Lori !! Been anxiously waiting for this to begin !!! I’ve learned so much from you and very grateful for all you do !!

[@SusanRiley-nx7bt]

Hi Lori, Hope you are enjoying you new home and sewing loft, looks so neat and organized. Can’t wait to see your whole new home. Love watching your youtubes, and how you explain every thing. 😊

[@sheliaheverin8822]

The Autumn collection is absolutely gorgeous.

[@klz4377]

Congratulations on your new home. ❤️

[@elizabethjohnson5299]

Your technique makes me think maybe I can do appliqué! Thank you so much for your video!

[@rutheglin-pugh2320]

I'm glad someone else wonders about the quilting of applique in your quilts. Some advice would be good, as some if us get our quikts quilted in an all- over design. Love the quilt of the border blocks hanging in the background.

[@sherriejohnson508]

Thank you

[@MargaretNaabDesigns]

I love watching your tutorials and just amazed at your talent! Can you tell me do you quilt over your appliqué or around them? ❤

[@erinpennington9716]

My daughter and I, love your happy colors!

[@sokolum79]

What I would do to play in your craft room for a day. Fabric, yarn, floss!

[@HappyLittleStitchShop]

Here we go!!! Can’t wait to sew this with you! Thank you for this adorable autumn quilt design, Lori! 🤗🧡🤗

[@beckysouk2510]

❤❤ - love the lesson on appliqué!

[@scottydog6539]

Your new sewing loft is beautiful. Enjoy it.

[@terryblair966]

Love the demo as usual! You do a great job!

[@lorettahenderson8979]

Lori...love your new fabric and pattern❤❤

[@lindagillian8157]

I’m excited to try to do this sew along. Thank you!!

[@salliep1]

all done! such amazing instructions!!! thank you!!!!!!!

[@cherylcawley3370]

Thank you so much for your instructions! I love how you have added pictures and break-downs of every block to the sew along guide. Please let Riley Blake know the 1st block doesn't list the star in between the crows, nor next to the cutting for the fabric. I was getting ahead last night and noticed it was missing. Thank you for everything, I love it all and plan to make 2 of each of your new scarecrow quilts.

[@mdnisg61]

I always enjoy your tutorials.

[@sarabrunsvold2461]

Such a cute quilt!!! Love the fabrics!!

[@amybarry3807]

Great video. Hope to see more of your craft space

[@baseballquilter]

I love all your work and I admire you so much! I plan on buying this pattern book. I probably won't be able to start anytime soon. I'm working on other blocks from your Scrappiness is Happiness book. Great space😍

[@terryblair966]

Your place looks wonderful 😊!

[@beckypetersen2680]

I'm working on Mercantiile and the Hometown using your blog and videos. Thanks. Hope to get to this one this year after I get the shapes.

[@stitchingepiphanies]

I’m falling in love with this method of applique but always feel torn (hand vs machine) as to how I should finish it. Would you please tell me what your “go-to” method is the majority of the time? Thanks for all of your creative skills! Mary

[@89sethy]

I did your Hometown Quilt with you, and I really miss doing a project!

[@debbieparrish4369]

Are you not tempted to try the Laura Star ironing system that Kimberly uses. Her blocks look amazing and very flat.

[@Melissa1957]

Hello Lori, I love watching your tutorials. I am going to jump in and try this quilt. One question please, are these quilts machine washable?

[@artaberns364]

Love this sew along. Your instructions are very good. Did you move to a new home?

[@pennytreaster6665]

Help!! I am looking for todays How to Build a scarecrow post! I can't find it & have been searching for a very long time!!

[@stepoff1277]

Lori (or anyone who knows really), can applique quilts be used like a pieced quilt? Or do they need to be made just for display? I love the quilt and pretty much all of your quilts/fabrics/patterns, etc. but I like for my quilts to get used and fear that an applique quilt wouldn't be as sturdy. I don't display much on my walls as I don't like clutter and don't dust often (I know..I know...lazy momma). I work about 60 hours a week and when I am home I am in survival mode just trying to keep up with dishes and laundry and floors and bathrooms. Then there's the need to spend time with my lives and I like to get some sewing in. But, I want my quilts to be usable but really like the this one. I just don't want to make it and wash it two or three times and things start falling off. 😂

[@keytopast6404]

If you machine applique. The quilt will be sturdy and you can wash the quilt.

[@jenlee4134]

How do I find out what aurifil colors match the autumn collection for the applique?

[@bobbiedovin2303]

Love your seam ripper. Please share where you purchased it

[@kaywilliams6868]

why cant i find all the sew along for how 2 build a scarecrow . the only one i can see is the first one

[@kaywilliams6868]

i know right

[@Jsppydays]

So I printed the pattern. Got all the fabric for my stash label them all. I decided to start with the overall's block. I think there is a huge mistake on the fabric cut list. It said to cut out the overalls top square bottom pants and then it says to cut out 2 1/4 inch blocked four squares think #22 and 13 for the patches underneath the blue fabric? What!!!!! Help. Hopefully I can figure this out. Why would the patches and circles be the same color of the overalls? Let me know if anybody can help me but I think it's a huge mistake on the pattern print out.

[@tinadougherty7019]

Was finishing my Crow Block and notice the star is not in the guide, what size did you use?? Thanks Tina

[@christineproulx-sigounas3819]

I bought the Kit … and started by Cutting All my pieces. Now that I am tracing the forms on the interfacing, I am VERY Upset that the pieces are TOO Small or TOO Exact for the Form!! Why are we Trying to “Save” fabrics!! Are we listening to the “complainers”??!!

[@Jsppydays]

Have you noticed the fabric is so thin? I bought some fat quarters that came in the mail and I was shocked. I was thinking they made a mistake and sent me samples.

[@sandyvotel3484]

Oh dear. I am so sorry to hear this

[@betssteenkamp1773]

Hi Lori, Where do I get your quilt with the different bííg blooms? Thanks, Bets

[@gophersmom]

I cannot reach your blog page. It keeps telling me it is down and can't be reached.

[@LoriHolt]

Hi Paula...are you using the link that I have provided in this video description? I just clicked on them and it comes right up.

[@gophersmom]

@@LoriHolt No Ma'am, I am saying the whole link to your blog. I have tried 2 different search engines, and 3 different people's links including yours and cannot get to your blog.

[@donnaforrest9397]

I love all things Lori Holt except that you say in every video over and over that this is an open toe foot. Yes you can see between the crack but it isn't an open toe foot...

[@kaywilliams6868]

i am so angry don't understand why i can't find the so along for how to build a scarecrow all i find is the advertising for all lori holt products and i have 85%of your produts

[@kaywilliams6868]

sew along

[@dawnloya8523]

I can’t be the only one curious about where all your “ stuff” is in the new home. Design wall, yarn wall, cutting table, fabric scrap baskets, etc. I love the tutorial and the loft set up is beautiful ❤

[@lindamercer1736]

Hi Lori, would very much like a sewing room tour - LOVED your other space in your previous house. Where has all your other stuff gone? you had so much. Fabric cupboard, Yarn Wall and where you stood to cut etc. xx Loved the video as I do all your videos. Thank you Lori

[@WaterfallFW]

Love it. I can’t wait to see your whole home. I hope you share all your decorated rooms. Thank you!

[@sheilacraft5027]

A new sewing space! I sew wish I could have one but, I'm thankful for the space I do have as it's bigger than some folks have. I have double of everything because I really screwed up when I ordered from FQS - double Sew Simple Shapes, Double background fabrics, Double FQ bundles... I have got to get a better system of ordering.

[@christineproulx-sigounas3819]

Listening to your instructions or reading your instructions on your blog, is like following a pattern written by Fat Quarter Shop! It is So thorough and Easy to folllow!! ❤💕

[@lindaskinner5887]

Love the quilt piecing. Thanks for sharing.

[@Angie-gk8bp]
