A rising star in the quilting community, Lorelai is on a mission to bring the joy of quilting to young creatives just like her. With industry buzz, a growing social media following, and her own fabric line with Northcott on the way, Lorelai is quickly becoming a leading voice in modern, youth-driven quilting. Readers will learn what tools they need, how to choose fabrics that fit their personality—including quilting cottons, flannel, Minky, fleece, and even T-shirts—and how to master six essential blocks before designing their own. Featuring 12 exciting projects that young makers will actually want to use, display, or gift, like a fun patchwork pillow, a backpack and purse, a phone holder, a laptop case, ornaments, coasters and mug rugs, and more, these are projects with personality and purpose! Lorelai understands what it feels like to be new to sewing, because she was just there a few years ago. Now a nationally recognized quilter with award-winning work and industry partnerships, she’s ready to pass the torch and help young creators everywhere fall in love with fabric, thread, and the magic of making something by hand. With step-by-step guidance, clear photos, and friendly encouragement throughout, Lorelai makes quilting approachable, creative, and fun.

This ruler helped so much. I was doing a project that took 2 layer cakes. I cut the first one with a regular ruler and the pinked edges made it difficult to get it even. Once I got the Cake Cutter Ruler it was a breeze!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We're so glad the Cake Cutter Ruler made your project easier. Pinked edges on layer cakes can definitely make accurate cutting a challenge, so it's wonderful to hear that the ruler helped simplify the process and gave you more consistent results.
We appreciate your feedback and are delighted that the Cake Cutter Ruler turned the second layer cake into a breeze. Happy quilting, and thank you for choosing Lori's!
Love my rulers!! Thanks for sending them to me. Hopefully, I’ll be in your area this summer. I’ll make sure that I stopped in and say hi.
