- In this video I show you how I make and use my design boards...they are an essential tool in my sewing room.
The 3/8" thick foam core board that I used in this video is harder to find now but no worries...a thinner foam core board works just as well:)
I hope you enjoy!

Thank you, Lori. I made three boards in an afternoon. They were fun to make. I appreciate you demonstrating how to make these boards. These boards will help make quilting so much more fun and enjoyable. They are so cute, too. Who can't help but smile when they see a board full of fabric ready to be sewn into blocks. ❤ A small tip - I used a t-shirt pressing silicone mat as my surface protector when using my glue gun. It worked great. I love your Scrappiness is Happiness book. The Santa hat quilt is on my to-do list for a Christmas quilt for my daughter.
This is something that Lori sells, yet she's willing to show us how she makes them for free?! She is AMAZING!
I didn’t even know she sold them, but knew fat quarter shop showed how to make them. She is pretty incredible! I wish everyone was like that bc you will always have people use both options
@@lizziedae91 I agree..>I purchased some from FQS and I also made some as well...so I have alot of them on hand...and I love love love them...Lori Holt Is my rock of all designers...

Where can I find her online shop?

Tip: I use a small silicon spatula, from kitchen supplies at the grocery store, to hold down hot glued areas in projects. Just in case you can't find finger tip protectors at your craft store.
Lori: I love all the sewing and quilting projects; and the videos are wonderful!!! Thanks so much!
Lori - thank you for sharing. Even though your design boards are part of your business, you are still willing to show your “customers” how to make their own. You are one special lady - thank you again. Stay safe. From a grateful quilted from Redcliffe Queensland Australia
I absolutely love this!! Not only do I plan to make some for my quilting projects, but I think I'll make a few for my small grandchildren to use with flannel shapes as a playboard. Thank you so much for sharing this idea!!
M Schmidt great idea for kids when you are using yours.
What a great idea!!
BONUS!!! Not only did I learn how to make a design board, but... I now know what I’ve been missing my entire craft life!!! A GLUE GUN TOOL BUCKET!!!! Made a list and shopping tonight!
I have added some chop sticks as well. Longer is better for many projects
Thank you Lori for going over this!
I bought my foam boards from Dollar Tree, This project was so fun making...Thank you Lori
Hi Lori, my gorgeous Sister Sheree from @Yarravalleyquilting in Victoria Australia has put me onto you ... she adores your work and designs. I've recently discovered quilting after our mums passing last year and I inherited her one of her sewing machines!!! As a creative and crafting family I've taken to it with passion and guts and together over Zoom we are doing your flea market flowers together and she has made me come and watch your videos on making the flowers and leaves. We are loving it. I then discovered this video and as someone just starting out im trying to slowly build both a stash and equipment and have now made about 15 different design boards to cater for all the up coming designs and quilts we want to work on. You made the video so easy to follow and im loving my new design boards ... thanks for being so inspirational and for sharing your knowledge.... you make it easy for a new novice to have expert skills .... I'm now a fan and addicted to your videos ..... truly blessed ... regards Mike 🥰
Thank you, Lori!! I'm brand new to quilting, and always figured that keeping things organized would be my biggest challenge (one of the reasons I had never attempted quilting until now) - I would certainly sew seams the wrong way or add a block in the wrong place without some way to keep the bits organized. I really appreciate your tutorials!
Thank you Lori for being so generous. It’s a great quality to have.
I love these design boards and will make myself a few. Right now I have 3 quilts going and plan to buy the #2 books in a couple weeks , I can hardly wait. I enjoy your tutorials as well and thank you so much for doing them.
These boards are great! I am also a cross stitcher and they would be awesome in my project bags. Thanks for sharing your technique with us.
Thank you so much for showing us how to make these! As a quilter, I am finding these very useful as I create my blocks and also as a means to display special blocks on a small easel! You are a gem!
I made 6 a month ago. I love them! Making quilt that has 63 blocks all different. I can plan 6 blocks at a time. Love, love, love! Thank you Lori Holt for the tutorial.
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm now truly understanding how handy and valuable these little boards can be when sewing quilt blocks, storing blocks safely, etc. Plan to make a few. I'm SEW impressed with the number you have made for yourself.
Lori, you are an inspiration for a better and fun life. bless. thank you for sharing your talent with the world to make it a better place.
Yeah Lori. I just made a design board for a friend this morning. Wish I had watched this before hand. I would love a tip a day from you! It would make my day. Thanks for all you do.
Thank you for your generosity in teaching us how to make these, multiple times. This is my third lesson and I enjoy seeing how they have evolved over the years. What a great idea. Can't wait to make my first one(s).
I came across your tutorial for the design boards on FQS about a year ago and made a bunch for my sisters and mom who are quilters - they love them! I had some small pieces of foam core board leftover and made small ones to use with my mini squares. You've created a great way to stay organized - thanks a bunch Lori!
Thank you Lori so much for your kind heart and all your talent that you are sharing these boards and your blocks for us beginner quilters. May God continue to bless you.
These were life changers in my piecing. I made several of them a few years ago after watching a fat quarter shop video. I am inspired to make the littlest one for stitching. I appreciate your channel and look forward to it each week.
I have made several design boards and a few bitty boards for my cross stitch. I like how I can keep things so much neater in my sewing room. I have to sew in short spurts usually and it makes it handy to have all the pieces ready to sew together. I don’t have to pull out my project bin and sort through all the pieces and arrange in the proper order. I am surprised at how much more I can get done in such a short time when all the pieces are on the boards ready to stitch. I love all your tutorials. I appreciate you taking your valuable time to up our game in the quilting and cross stitch world!!❤️🌻
I did your sew along with the mugs and houses and hearts years ago and remember making these at the time. They are they greatest and I think I might just have to make me a new set or two with some of your new fabrics. Thanks for your videos here on youtube.
I had left over insulation board and have used it to make my first design board. I LOVE it. Thank you, Lori.
Oh my goodness! These boards are game changers! I watched this video when it first came out and just got around to getting some foam board. Now I wish I'd paid attention to this fabulous idea from Lori years ago! After just a week using these boards I can't imagine quilting a project without them. Thank you Lori!
I went back and watched your old video of making a design board. I bought the core board but never made it. Thank you for making another video. I love your fabrics and products. I always buy them for stocking stuffers even if the person doesn't sew (ie daily to do list, bookmarks, etc.) there's always something fun that you design or make.
I made these in various sizes a year ago n I cannot be without them now. Wonderful creation Lori . Thank you so much . They are the best.
I love these and they indeed do the trick of keeping your block designs in order! Thank you for sharing this DIY (even though you sell them yourself!) for those of us who love tackling them ourselves. EASY to make and fabulous to use! ***One suggestion:Use spray adhesive to put the batting on. It sticks easily and you can smooth it out as you lay it down. This is what works for me anyway.
HI Pam, I was just getting ready to use the spray adhesive also, but then I noticed the type I have is only temporary. What brand are you using? I just ordered a glue gun but would love to use spray adhesive if it could be permanent. TIA Sandra
I use a brand called "LocTite". It is something you can find in most any store, not necessarily for fabrics. It says it is a light weight tack and works great to tack down the batting. I have never had any trouble with it coming loose. When it comes to putting the fabric around the edge I do use my hot glue gun. The spray adhesive would not work as it is not strong enough (and also it would spray all over your finished batting and make a terrible mess!)
Thank you Pam 😃
I LOVE your design boards and I thank you for making it possible for us to diy at home. I have to admit that I just couldn't "waste" Lori Holt fabric on design boards in the past but you're right I should take delight in the cuteness. Thanks Lori.
I can't believe I have been quilting and EPP without one of these. Must make immediately. Thanks Lori.
Thank you so much for teaching this. I have struggles with organizing quilt pieces and blocks , they usually end up in bags. This is such a nice idea!
Amazing, I just got back from Fred Meyer with 6 foam core boards and here pops up a video on how to make your project boards. Perfect I’ll begin in the morning as it’s midnight now and my bedtime. Thanks ladies, and it’s good to see the new bride back helping mom.
Love your design boards. I've never used them before but now I can't do without them. Thank you for sharing. Love your videos.
Lori, thank you so much for the tutorial. I just whipped a 7 inch bitty board following your instructions and it looks superb! Such generous spirit!
I remember that original video with you and Kimberly, LOL! How nice to do an update!
I love these. I have several in my sewing room. Thank you Lori.
So nice of you to show us how you make those awesome boards! Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this! I have always run in to mixing up my blocks when I go from my design wall to my machine or iron. Sooooo appreciate you sharing this!
@Lori Holt - I totally agree with the other commentors that you are a darling for showing us how to make something you sell. These are a boon to those of us who don't have much room and only short periods of time to sew. Such a time saver to be able to pick up what you need to sew rather than spending half your time figuring out what to sew. Thank you and stay safe!
Love, LOVE these! Thanks for sharing your gifts with us. You're a very talented lady.
Thank you for this tutorial! I'm going out to get the foam core board today . These will make great gifts for my sewing friends. And for me, too!!!
I have made so many of these from your previous tutorial and use them all the time! What a game changer! Thanks for the refresher- time to make some more!
Amazing Idea!! I love it!!! I think I can quilt now. Yes, you right Lori Holt I stop quilting because I keep messing up the blocks and would forget which one to sew and when. But with your design board, I have confidence that I can make a block in a more fun way. I will also need to order your Seams so Easy and the Alphabety!! Thank you for making quilting much easier.
I made a few 10" and 12" design boards this weekend from foam boards I had sitting around collecting dust from my kids' school days. I love these. Going to make a few more this week. Thank you.
These boards are awesome!! I use them everyday for sewing and for my cross stitching. You have such great ideas. Thanks so much for sharing them with me. Have a great weekend!!
I have many of your design boards that I have purchased. Thanks so much for showing me how to do it myself. That is very nice of you. I'll give it a try. They are so useful. I never start a project without several ready to go on my cutting table.
Thank you for an updated video tutorial. These foam core boards are so useful and when I first made mine I used them without the binding until I unearthed my glue gun and added the cuteness. Now that I’m Cross stitching I will need to add some smaller boards. So happy that you started a TH-cam channel And look forward to seeing your talents and clever ideas in future videos❣️
I want to thank you for sharing these design boards. I am making 12 inch heart blocks with 1 inch finished half square triangles. Having everything laid out sure helped with assembly. Thank you again so much.
Thank you Lori. Such a brilliant idea. I can’t sew without them. You are so wonderful to share this with us.
Me encanta bordar punto Cruz.por tal motivo me gusto el bordado que entregaron .gracias.
Absolutely amazing idea! I made several 10” ones already but I’m SO grateful you did a separate tutorial on them. (The tutorial I watched was great, only it didn’t seem to be showing as much bulk by the final join)So when I went to make them for me I was frustrated with the joining of beg and end. I love to craft, I love to quilt. I have (almost 3, on Monday it will be 3!) grandchildren and my oldest (5) and I make “critters” on her accuquilt all the time. We use these design boards (I guess I’ll be making more lol 👍🏼🥰) I also started teaching one of my sisters to quilt and she is loving the design board as well. Thank you for sharing!!! I can’t wait to see future great ideas!!!
I do a lot of machine applique so I love these design boards to keep all the pieces together for each project. Thanks for the tips!
I made several years ago using your tutorial and was planning on making a few more...thanks for the video tutorial!
Oh I’m so glad you did this video. I just bought foam core to try and make some . Now I have great instructions! Thank you.
Absolutely love these. Happen to be using mine right now. Thank you Lori!
Thank you so much! Sure beats the cold cookie sheets😉. Sometimes the things we need the most, are the simplest things to make. Blessings!
Lori thank you for sharing your sewing room organization tips. Very helpful and inspiring!
Thank you Lori, Love your things... and just made 2 of these boards while my grand daughters napped. You are so kind to share this. I just love the one i purchased from Fat Qt. Shop too.
Lori ... thank you so much for sharing this tutorial!!! I am very cramped for space in my small sewing room (actually in my small home everywhere) ... I am so grateful for this tutorial, I am sure that I will make several of these!!! Thank you again!!!
Lori , You have my heart a racing !! I can't wait until I can get to the fabric store and get some beautiful fabric to make your projects !! Your Materials are my VERY FAVORITES EVER!!!
I want to start off making my own fabric boards just like yours from your line of fabrics. I also want your new book ! Love you much sweet friend and thank you for teaching us all your glorious tricks !!❤❤❤
These look awesome Lori. I wondered how you make them. Thank you for showing how you do it. Possibilities are endless. 💕🐝
Thanks Lori for showing us how to make these design boards! I have 2 I bought from the fat quarter shop but I’m going try to make some. I just love them so much!
Thanks, Lori, for all your fantastic ideas!
Thanks Lori for your newer rendition!!! I'm just getting back into Cross Stitching after a long hiatus & these are going to be soo helpful. BTW I've been using these already for my sewing and they really do help. I'm one of those types who always sews incorrectly but not any more !! TYA !!!
I love to watch Lori work. She’s so efficient and makes the best tutorials.
I was so happy to find foam board in my closet...I'll be making me a few design boards thank you Lori.
These boards are such a great idea , and are going to be such a help to me in piecing my blocks. So clever! Thank you Lori, for this tutorial. I recently found your channel. God bless you.
This is genius! They work so well! Thank you Lori!
I love this! Wonderful hints and lessons. Very unselfish of you, Ms. Lori!
This design board shall be a quilter helper. I just love it
Hi Lori! Thank you so much for this well thought out tutorial! I made myself 3 when you showed us how on FQS. I love using them! Helps me to stay organized. You have made quilting so colorful and fun! Patti
Wow I can't wait to make a few of these. I have purchased the largest size from FQS that I use when I'm stitching on a large piece fabric. Keeps the fabric clean and safe. Less handing. Thanks Lori
Thank you Lori I love your design boards use them all the time
Thank you for sharing your talent. Because of this free tutorial, I immediately purchase your Vintage Housewife shapes. Love all your design and I just stumble on your U tube tutorial today.
Thank you❤️
What a great idea! Thank you Lori for this tutorial.
I didn’t think having a design board would make a difference but I made one yesterday and was I wrong! I used it while I was sewing tiny house blocks and it was so handy. I put all of the house block pieces on the board and was able to sew them together in no time and not get confused about which piece went where. Thank you for the idea, I wish I had used one sooner😀😘
These are amazing 💕 I have quite a lot of felt which I think I could use instead of batting. Thanks for the tutorial 👍🏻😊
Thank you so much. I love the design board. I just love watching you sew. You and Kimberly Jolly. You two are the absolute BEST!! I have enjoyed your videos and I have purchased material and patterns. After two years and watching you sew I feel like I’m still a beginner. I absolutely love the quilt you made with the 64? Squares. I would love to feel confident enough to do that and the mushrooms. Maybe one day soon.
“Fun and done!” You need that on one of your journals. Easy tutorial, thanks!
I want to just sit and watch you!! You have amazing projects!
I love and appreciate all of your wonderful tips, Lori, thank you!
I am loving all of your tutorials and your brilliant ideas. Thanks for sharing.
I have made several design boards and I use them all the time! Such an awesome idea 😎 thanks for sharing again 🎯
Thank you so much for sharing how to design the boards and everything else. You make it look so easy.
How wonderful. Thank you for showing the making of these Design Bords.
I've been using one for a long time. I love it! I also love that you have now taught me how to make them myself. I agree about making it cute. Thank you so much!
This is a lovely gift idea for my quilty sister! Thank you!
Your videos are so happy and bright. Love your nails!
Thanks Lori....I made some design boards using your directions and they work great!!
Thanks for the tutorial, Lori! I have looked at these for quite a while and thought I could make my own, but was afraid they might be a bit messy. You shared some great tips and now I can see this is a project I can do and get a nice, tidy result. Thanks again!
I LOVE these SO much! I also love that you share how to make them 💕. You’re SO inspiring and talented! I’m over the moon being a new follower of yours. I’m obsessed with your ‘sew your stash’ videos! You helped me get ‘unstuck’! Thank you for being inspiring and lovely ❤️
I just found your channel!!!! I’m so excited. Thank you for this tutorial on make😁 a design board. That’s so kind of you to show us and not just push your sales. 🎈🎈🎈
I’ve made several of your design boards and love them. I’ll have to remember the popsicle stick tip next time I have glue leaking out. Thanks Lori. Blessings and take care.
Lori you are so fabulous! I love your ideas, your products and your heart!
What a great idea and project. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and talents with us.
Loved these...... I watched the video with you and Kimberly went right to FQS and ordered one..... then onto Amazon and bought some foam board. I am going to make some bitty ones for my cross stitch bags but will probably love them for my quilting more. Thank you for sharing .... you are truly amazing....... Hugs from Minnesota
Thank you for making this tutorial! I am going to make some for myself and a quilting friend. I can't wait to get the foam board.
I absolutely love the design boards Lori!❤💕💕💕💕😀
