Tips for Quilt makers 

I just love your tutorials I too start any unfinished projects. In time I finish one or two. Keep more coming

Lorena you are great with ideas ..... I hang my Baltimore album blocks on hangers but I like the idea of putting them on a roll. Thanks for the tip I am going to try it.

I love watching your videos, you make me laugh. Thank you for your tips, very helpful.

Glad I’m not the only one that has so many projects going. My biggest problem is I spend too much time online looking at new fabrics and patterns. I’ve made tons of quilts in my head 😂

great idea!...now I need another closet...

I also use, square plastic clear tubs that i store my fabric, quilt blocks, patterns and special rulers in so I don't lose pieces. This also keeps bugs out and the pieces lay flat.

Love this video because of your honesty about not being able to STOP!! Lol. I'm the same way! I have SO many projects that are half way finished because something else catches my eye and I can't say NO! 😂🤣. I feel your pain! No judgement here! Guilty as charged! 🙋

It’s June 2024 and this is still great information ❤❤

Loved your tips! You could also put old wine corks on the end of the "pointy things". I do this to my ice pick so I don't get stuck by it when it's in my kitchen drawer.

I like the whimsical one the best. You could put 3-4 of those rolls in a 2 gallon zip lock from Walmart

The knitting needle covers are nice. But if you're a wine drinker, you can use the cork from the wine bottle. I just cut off any portion that is stained by wine so it doesn't stain my fabric in the bag.

I love your videos and how you keep it real! Love your humor!

The pointy thing! I know it as a stiletto, I’d pop a cork on the end ...great tips, especially the wadding book..

You are too cute! Thanks for sharing neat ideas!

Lorena, for your appliqué squares consider lining a tote or box with pvc pipe from the hardware store, then you can stick your rolls inside.

Never thought about that, but you are right! Going to JoAnn to get one of those lint rolls!

I just had a thought - to hold your applique blocks onto the rolls, what about blue masking tape? It wouldn't leave adhesive or creases. Nice video! Thanks!

You can use disposable ear plugs in a pinch for caps on those “ pointy things “ :)

Oh one more tip. I save used toilet paper rolls and wind my binding onto it as I make the binding. Then I can just put it onto my extra spool holder as I'm attaching the binding and let it wind off as I sew.

Instead of a rubber band, use pony tail holders. They will stretch to size and won't have the hazard of melting or smearing and leaving rubber on your blocks. You could also use velcro strips like they sell for electrical cord management under your computer (at Staples or other office supply stores).

they are lovely

Would you please do some videos on your appliqué? I do wool on wool appliqué, you need to try it! I fuse down my pieces but would like to see how you do yours ;) Thank you, and sorry for giving you yet something else to try ;-))) Barbara

Lorena! Your videos are not only informative, they are uplifting, and funny, too! :-) Thank you for sharing your awesome tips! Love your little fur baby! Is she a Pie-Bald Doxie? I LOVE the black & tan mini doxies! Lost my Doxie last December. He was 18 years old. Miss him so much! Give your sweet little one a bone for me...and hug her! :-)

Loraine, are you coming to Washington. ??? if not im going one day to the show...awesome video...chris

Also, roll your clothes before you put them in your suitcase for a trip. No fold lines or ironing when you get there.

If you go to some of the some s stores you can get those hangers for free as they just throw them out here n Canada. All you have to do is go in and ask. I use then for all my o really a meter material and like you I use them for keeping my blocks straight and together as I am piecing.

I use pool noodles for rolling my squares and they are cheap at the end of the summer!

Like the stiletto Mom uses back of an earring and it stays in place

Great tips - Thanks :)

Lol, your not the only addic. I have 8 quilts going, 2 are appliqué, 2 are paper piecing and the rest are normal.

Di look for nice wood hangers to display my small quilt art panel.

I just found a quilt top from 4-5 years ago, just needs to be sandwiched.

When do you sleep❤️I am Earning so much.Keep it coming

Do you hand or machine appliqué?

babe, go to dollar store, get foam ear plug for $1.00 , several in package.

you remind me of an actress but I can't think of her name, I would swear you were her sister, you even talk like her, do you know who I'm talking about? I love your vid's!
