New Sew Along Project | Lori Holt, Home Town Quilt

I am SEW very pleased that you and Missouri Star Quilt Company have joined hands in allowing all of us to use your link to receive 20% off our purchases. I live in Washington state, in what we refer to as the Pacific Northwest area of the US. I have done shopping at MSQC for a few years now ... in fact my sewing studio could be another one of their cute little shops in Hamilton Missouri! But I digress ... I am watching all of your videos, appreciating your style, choices of projects, and, most of all, you, Rachel. You have a lovely manner, and enjoy our time together on youtube. Thank you so much for all you share. You are delightful!

Thands for sharing

Can’t wait until September, count me in. Thank you for doing this 😊

I love Lori Holt. I really love that house quilt. It’s so pretty. I would love to join in. I’m not ready for it yet either. I’d have to go get everything so thanks for sharing as always. I love your videos.😊

♥️♥️♥️

You've inspired me to give this a go. Thanks Rachel

Oh this is so cute! I’m not sure I have the skill level yet but maybe I’ll try!

Hello Rachel, I used polyester batting on my design boards so that the fabric pieces would stick better. 😉😇

I use fleece in my board and I made few of those in different sizes.

That sounds like fun. I love Lori Holt. I made some of her design boards and I use them for quilting and also when hand embroidery and cross stitch.

I’m very excited to join you in doing the Home Town quilt!! I already have the templates and I’ve been wanting to get some of Lori Holt’s fabric from Missouri Star. I love watching your videos and feeling like I’m in England !!

I'm exhausted just looking at Lori's post. I do like the idea of the house shapes templates, though, so I might be enticed to join in. I so love your videos.

Hi Rachel! Love watching your channel and all of the fun things you do... I found you while learning about EPP and, of course, Liberty fabrics. My friend, Mary Ann, recently met you at the festival of quilts .... I was green with jealousy, LOL ... she still isn't home from her trip across the pond for another week or so .... as Alaska is entering the fall season I am starting to settle in and prepare some winter projects and looking forward to the many videos and discussions Mary Ann and I will surely have. You provide many sweet hours of entertainment for us. Thank you for your sweet self! Cheers!

I have been collecting fabrics for the hometown quilt by Lori Holt. I also made a couple of project boards. I would recommend that you use the silicone finger protectors while hot gluing. I also used my iron and a sheet of greaseproof paper to flattern any lumps of glue. I am going to try masking tape on the edges where hot glue might squeeze through more than I want it to. I did my first order with MSQC a couple of weeks ago. I bought their Rotary Cutter. It was damaged but they were very quick at sending me a replacement. I will definitely be buying more. They do have a bundle system when ordering and keep that open for a week where you can add to your bundle. It's very tempting to add more and only have one lot of postage to pay. I will try your code on my next order. Thank you Rachel, can't wait to start sewing my Hometown quilt. ❤🎉

Hello Rachel, Julie here from the US. I was wondering if you would do a video of how you store your fabrics, scraps, future projects and works in progress etc… love your channel. You’re a ray of sunshine! ❤

I'm so excited for this i just bought her hometown simple shapes last week..❤

For the appliqué shorten your stitch length. It will help greatly with the curves. You are inspiring me to start another project!

Just bought the Home Town so simple shapes from Missouri 😀 waiting for delivery..... with lots of Lori Holt fabrics from the Missouri 25% off Lori Holt day 😊 I did use your link and got a good saving. So THANK YOU ❤ I'm currently doing a Lori Holt 'Bee Happy' see along. It doesn't take long to work out how to turn out the applique shapes. You deffo need either the cover or prym corner/ edge shaper. A tip is to put the point between the fabric and interfacing so you push up the fabric not the interfacing. I bought my interfacing from Amazon (I'm in Nottinghamshire so UK) I bought this: Vlieseline/Vilene Interlining Sew in - Light - L11 / 310 - White Works perfectly The 30's Playtime fabrics work really well with the Lori Holt fabrics. Im just matching my stash as best as posdible to the Lori fabrics listed. Really looking forward to this sew along 😊 will you create a FB group? Great vid as ever Rachel!

I love all things Lori holt. Sadly, I can't buy her fabric, books or simple shapes here in France. I made lots of her blocks from her see your stash series.

You might try a knitting needle or crochet hook if you have one handy as a point turner!
