Boy. Can't wait to get my box! I give it a 5. I definitely like everything in it. I love how her projects stretch my skills and give me a different color palette that I normally wouldn't get. So far, I've absolutely loved every project that I've done. I put 'Row Houses' in the local agricultural fair and got a 1st place ribbon for it. I had added a moon to it with quilted moonbeams radiating outward. Love Open Gate.
Good morning. Beautiful day here, 69 degrees. When you were talking about the blackbird fabric, I saw my first red winged black at my bird feeder this summer. Hope your day is great.
I agree with previous comment. The upbeat comments reflect you and your demeanor. I love watching your channel. The Open Gates box is gorgeous! 5/5 is my vote. River is such a precious sweetheart!
The floral print fabric is awesome! I give the box a 4/5. The bundled material is just not my taste but I k own people who would love it. Thank you for the moment of Zen to start my day. See you next video.
I need to go back to that video with the book bag and get the finished size and any details so I can make 2, I have nephews that love to read a book. Christmas is coming, need to get started for sure. Thank you Holly, I love todays box. Open Gate's is one I would get if I could. Have a great day.
The Open Gate box is nice! Like you, I like tan and black. Fabrics and patterns are so individual but, like you said, sometimes it’s good to go out of your comfort level. Thanks Holly. (Btw- deep pink looks good on you)
I got mine this weekend and made the corner page keeper. It was super easy and cute. Love the fabric as always. The pattern isn't my favorite so I'm not sure if I'll make that one. I was so surprised about the purple - love it. For me, Open Gates is a 4.5 + 5.
Open Gate. I agree, 4 and 5. I love the colors… I want to make something for one of the guys in my life….not sure about the spools…think think think. :)
Black and tan is also a favorite combo color of mine. A very nice box for autumn. I can't wait to see Tiffany of Tiffany's Quilting World make it. She completes the Open Gate Projects as part of her box opening videos. She only opens Open Gate subscription.
I like bright colors and fall colors. I loved the fall colored fat quarters. I will not make these projects though. My mini project had a problem, but I have the instructions and my own fabric. I would give it 8 out of ten this time.
Thank you Holly! I agree with your scoring on this box. I just love all the care they put into the open gate boxes and the quality and value is excellent although I’m not sure I will make all the projects as suggested 🤷🏻♀️ You are always so real and beautiful by the way and you bring me joy!
Goodmorning Holly! My internet is having issues this am. I always watch you on telly, but have my phone connected. I cant connect my phone today. I lov, love Blacjbirds nest. I give the box 2 5's!
Hi Holly! I am with you about if I would make the larger project HOWEVER as I read the pattern, I thought this would be an awesome gift for a family member for Christmas and it will be a quick piece together project. As always love Open Gate and I’ve already made the small project - it was quick and fun to make and will make more for stocking stuffers for my book reader friends! Have a happy day - River is so cute! 🌼🦋💜 bee well🐝 Doreen B
As always for me this is a 5 & 5. One of the best things about the boxes, is that you get things that you never would have and you’re able to try new things. And Realize how much you actually love it 😊Have a Beautiful Day Everyone 😊
5/5!+ for this Open Gate box. Love all of the fabric. And the spinning spools pattern. It would be gorgeous on a black table. Little River is adorable!
You look so refreshed today!! My comments are sincere and from the heart. You’re such an awesome “friend” and I like giving you kind words! 💕💕. Love the box! Colors are so pretty! A fun box, as always. It gets a 5 from me! Omg! River gets cuter by the day!! Love you! xo. P/s…I got my box and LOVE it!!(playtime)
She is so doggone cute! I would be hugging her all the time. And thank you for thinking of by taking the time to show us the boxes. I know we all appreciate you. You are a very busy woman ,but still think of us.❤❤❤🎉
Thank you for sharing this box Holly and pictures of your precious River she is amazing little girl.❤ I am in need of a bit of prayer or good thoughts on my behalf. Something's just not right and I'm having a bit of stomach problems and it's very inconvenient and frustrating. The one sure fact that I know is that my Heavenly Father is watching over me and he will be taken care of me but I could certainly use good thoughts from many of you. Be blessed Holly❤
Charolett please go and see a doctor. I was such a procrastinator when it came to see a doctor. I would ignore my symptoms, thinking the problem would go away on their own. I wish you well, everything will be fine. Hugs.
Hang in there my friend, prayers are coming your way. I'm so sorry you've been feeling unwell. It's so hard not to mentally go to the worst possible diagnosis. Please keep us posted and know how much your are loved. xo
Opengate is always a fabulous box. Plus, they use nicer fabric too. The tan and black are a great combination. The bookmark idea ( to add to the tote) would be such a fantastic gift. The fat quarter bloom is beautiful. This box outshines all of the previous boxes. I'd give it double 5's for each category. Love OpenGate! ❤❤❤ River gets a 10! She's precious.
Good morning Holly sending hugs. The Open Gate Box is delightful with the black and tan motif. I really enjoy your videos they are enlightening and joyful. Have a wonderful day.
The random fat quarter is gorgeous . Lovely. I have started making small projects for my grandkids which involves a few zippers. The process is getting easier. I would give this box a 4.5 and value a 5. So I am guessing you must have started as well on Christmas projects.. Happy to see that radiant smile. Hope all is well. Love you too. Give River a hug from all of us.
I really like the pattern. I can see it done with making each spool a different color, that would be fun. Loved hearing the birds. Holly you show kindness to all of us, so you deserve kindness right back at you!
Good morning Holly!!! ☕️💜 It is so nice when we can leave a door open, even partially! It’s still way hot here but I too love to hear the birds and my wind chimes! Thank you for sharing the boxes with us, it’s very nice, not my taste but again, very nice and the quality is there and the value! Love those acorn pillows!! You are so pretty in that fuchsia top, and you’re smiling, I hope you’re doing very well. RIVER!!!! She has a beautiful smile too! 🥰
Good Monday everyone. What a great way to start our week with our Sweet Moment of Zen! Great box. I love black & tan. Thank you for sharing! Have a blessed week y’all!!!
Good morning all and happy Monday! I had a mostly pleasant weekend - went to a birthday party on Saturday (and I'm so glad Mr O & I went, as only one other person showed up), sewed up a second round basket, and (on the not so good side) managed to hurt my shoulder last night by pulling open the freezer door. Go figure. Today we're going to an arboretum and possibly to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch, which will be nice. Oh, yes, this is gooooooood box. Well, of course it is, it's Open Gate :-) Fun patterns, beautiful fabrics, a useful notion (I have *got* to get me some washi tape, if I ever find it in a shop around here), and a neutral yet pretty thread; what more can one ask for? It's a little surprising that the add-on pattern takes so many fat quarters when you only get four in the packet with it, although choosing the remaining 16 out of one's stash pretty much guarantees that it will be a one-of-a-kind quilt when it's done, and "no one else has one exactly like this, even if they used the same pattern" is part of the appeal of handcrafted items. I judge the patterns differently than you do. It's not "would I make it?" but rather "do I like it?" Collecting patterns is a hobby in and of itself; they're fun to look at & think about, even if one never actually makes the item. Full marks from me on this one for both "would I want it?" and "is there value?" for a rating of 5 out of 5.
Hello Holly, you look lovely as always! Thank you for sharing that moment of zen, River is so precious. The Open Gate box is nice, I'm not a huge fan of the spool pattern or the fabric for it, but the other fabric is great. My vote is a 3 on making it and 5 on value. The acorn pillows are adorable. I hope you have a wonderful day.... until next time.
Oh I could just look at Miss River all the time. Oh heck I do look at her all the time as she is cutest baby ever in 2024. That fabric did have you name on it Holly, and Holly did you know today was National Elephant Day??? I sew forgot to send you a memo! 😂😂 Standing in corner, head down. 😂😂 This box not my favorite and would not buy I must say 3 and 5. Holly you brighten all our days, and Lesa wants in on the group as she rings the chimes. Thank You Holly once again for all you do. Love you 🥰 🥰🥰🥰 hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Awww, sweet River. She is so precious. Holly Dear, the reason our comments are upbeat is because of you. You are like a ray of sunshine and your kindness is inspiring. I hope you make the spinning spools, I Love it. Happy Monday sweet friend ❤️🩹 🌞
Love the Open Gate subscription box. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my subscription because my discretionary funds are getting low and the box projects are piling up. I’d give this a 3 and a 5, just because I’d personally probably not do either project.
Hi Holly! You have such a nice view out your sliding glass doors, I envy you! I love the fabric and pattern in this box! That first fat quarter is so cool!
Hi Holly, you look very pretty in your pink top. I am a fan of Open Gates, but this time, I'm not crazy about the fabric or pattern. I would give the box a 4 & 5. Sweet little River, who can't smile after seeing that cute little face.
❤❤❤ River is so beautiful. I love the Acorn pattern. And Open Gate is awesome. I'm not sure I would by the pattern, but I like the fabrics. They were awesome.
I'm glad I got to see your box (complete) - mine came this weekend, with no information sheet, and no washi tape. It looked like someone had just tossed a couple things in a box and mailed it out - so while I agree with your eval (4/5), mine was only a 3/3, because < 1 yd of fabric wasn't worth $42 dollars to me ☹ I felt like I could have taken my $ to the local quilt store and gotten 4 half yard cuts and a pattern and the thread and still had $ left over. I was so disappointed that I canceled my subscription. Looks like they had some issues, explained on the paper that I didn't get, that might have changed my mind!
I had to go out of town unexpectedly and was so excited to see this box because it will likely be waiting for me when I get home and well…I just couldn’t wait to see what was waiting for me!!!❤ I can’t wait to get home and dive into this beautiful box of goodies! I would definitely give it a 5 and 5! I agree that I won’t make the pillow but I love the fabric! River is absolutely adorable!🥰
I have never done the spool block but have seen some done that were really neat. So I think I'm ok with the pattern and I like the colors of the fabric. So I am going to give this a 5 and a 5.
You look so happy today Holly. I'm still sitting in my recliner wishing the week would go by Fast! Then I can start taking steps with my big boot on. I like the colors of the larger(?) project so 5 for that. But the basic box at $50+ for a small wall hanging and scraps is worth a 3... wait, thread, seam tape, beautiful fat qtr ok 4 for value.
Knowing your scoring rubric, I opened my box ( Saturday) and gave it a 4 and 5 as you did. Your reason for the 4 is the same as mine. Cutting and sewing those small pieces so intimidates me. I may try to “math it out “ to see if I can cut some bigger pieces yet still try to replicate the spool look and go from there. We shall see. I am in awe of the incredible detail, care and quality that goes into Open Gate boxes.
i love the fabric but like you i wouldn’t make that pattern. so i too give it a 4. but the value is a 5. love , love the fat quarter add on and it would be lovely in the acorn pillows. do make them so we can see!
That is amazing. That get the top score! 😊
Boy. Can't wait to get my box! I give it a 5. I definitely like everything in it. I love how her projects stretch my skills and give me a different color palette that I normally wouldn't get. So far, I've absolutely loved every project that I've done. I put 'Row Houses' in the local agricultural fair and got a 1st place ribbon for it. I had added a moon to it with quilted moonbeams radiating outward. Love Open Gate.
I always like open gates. Always has good value. I also enjoy beige/cream & black. Lovely fabric. I give it a 4.5
Good morning. Beautiful day here, 69 degrees. When you were talking about the blackbird fabric, I saw my first red winged black at my bird feeder this summer. Hope your day is great.
Take care,Hollly❣️
I love that you include the price too. River is such a cutie!
I vote 5/5. Such a sweet and precious granddaughter!
I agree with previous comment. The upbeat comments reflect you and your demeanor. I love watching your channel. The Open Gates box is gorgeous! 5/5 is my vote. River is such a precious sweetheart!
Sweet, sweet River. I give this a 5.
Holly, your granddaughter…what a cutie!…..love the open gate box opening. Enjoy the nice weather there, can’t open the door as yet in Az.
The floral print fabric is awesome! I give the box a 4/5. The bundled material is just not my taste but I k own people who would love it. Thank you for the moment of Zen to start my day. See you next video.
I love the hot pink top! Looks great on you ❤yes, to 4 and 5 votes. Precious River ❤
Always a fabulous box! 5/5 for me!❤
She is so beautiful, Grandchildren are gift and enjoy her.
I need to go back to that video with the book bag and get the finished size and any details so I can make 2, I have nephews that love to read a book. Christmas is coming, need to get started for sure. Thank you Holly, I love todays box. Open Gate's is one I would get if I could. Have a great day.
This box is a 5 for both projects and value!
The Open Gate box is nice! Like you, I like tan and black. Fabrics and patterns are so individual but, like you said, sometimes it’s good to go out of your comfort level. Thanks Holly. (Btw- deep pink looks good on you)
Awwww sweet River!! I do love the fabric in this box - also not sure about the pattern. Love Open Gate - one of the few subscriptions I still keep! 😊
I got mine this weekend and made the corner page keeper. It was super easy and cute. Love the fabric as always. The pattern isn't my favorite so I'm not sure if I'll make that one. I was so surprised about the purple - love it. For me, Open Gates is a 4.5 + 5.
You say the comments brighten your day, but I’m here to tell you that your videos brighten my day! Have a wonderful week!
The extra FQ: Moda's Blooming Lovely by Janet Clare. The other fabrics from Kansas Troubles that are black/cream looks like black/gold. Go Hawks! 😊
Tan is not my favourite but this box is still great 😊. The garden sounds are beautiful!
Open Gate. I agree, 4 and 5. I love the colors… I want to make something for one of the guys in my life….not sure about the spools…think think think. :)
Black and tan is also a favorite combo color of mine. A very nice box for autumn. I can't wait to see Tiffany of Tiffany's Quilting World make it. She completes the Open Gate Projects as part of her box opening videos. She only opens Open Gate subscription.

Monique never disappoints! 😊💜. Neither does your moment of zen 💜
Good morning!! Love opening the doors when the weather starts cooling down and there's a breeze!!!! I hope you have a beautiful day!!
I give it a 5.
Thank you Holly! I agree with your scoring on this box. I just love all the care they put into the open gate boxes and the quality and value is excellent although I’m not sure I will make all the projects as suggested 🤷🏻♀️ You are always so real and beautiful by the way and you bring me joy!
Hello Holly! I hope you have wonderful week! Thank you for taking time out to do these openings with us!!❤❤❤
P.S. where do you get those cute little cutters you have?
Amazon. Search "cute box openers"
@@DandelionStitches thank you
What a cutie! I would gif the box a 5 I liked the fabric and it is a good value. The pattern is doable. I hope you have a wonderful week.
I give it a 4.5. As always, thank-you, Holly. You always brighten my day,
Goodmorning Holly! My internet is having issues this am.
I always watch you on telly, but have my phone connected. I cant connect my phone today.
I lov, love Blacjbirds nest. I give the box 2 5's!
Oh how adorable ❤. Love little river

I would give that box a 3/5. Have a great day Holly.
The birds are always welcome! That fabric will be perfect for your black table.
5/5. Love this box. I love the black and tan fabric but would substitute bright colors for the spools as I love the combo of brights with black. ❤
As always for me this is a 5 & 5.
One of the best things about the boxes, is that you get things that you never would have and you’re able to try new things. And Realize how much you actually love it 😊Have a Beautiful Day Everyone 😊
5/5!+ for this Open Gate box. Love all of the fabric. And the spinning spools pattern. It would be gorgeous on a black table. Little River is adorable!
I love hearing the birds in the background. River is all smiles. Beautiful baby
GM Holly. Seeing you the first thing in the morning is my ray of sunshine. I agree with your grade 4 the box. Have a great day.
I would give the box a 3.
Love those fabrics!
Love U 2! That is always a really good box. I would give it a 5. River is just the most adorable baby ❤

Thank you for sharing this box Holly and pictures of your precious River she is amazing little girl.❤
I am in need of a bit of prayer or good thoughts on my behalf. Something's just not right and I'm having a bit of stomach problems and it's very inconvenient and frustrating.
The one sure fact that I know is that my Heavenly Father is watching over me and he will be taken care of me but I could certainly use good thoughts from many of you.
Be blessed Holly❤
Charolett please go and see a doctor. I was such a procrastinator when it came to see a doctor. I would ignore my symptoms, thinking the problem would go away on their own. I wish you well, everything will be fine. Hugs.
Charlotte, sending prayers, love and healing. He will see you through this.
🙏🏻✝️❤️😀
Hang in there my friend, prayers are coming your way. I'm so sorry you've been feeling unwell. It's so hard not to mentally go to the worst possible diagnosis. Please keep us posted and know how much your are loved. xo
River is so cute What an amazing blessing she is
Hi Holly, you look well! Love, love, love all the fabric in this Box!
River is sweet. Nice box. Have a wonderful week, love you, bye.
Hello Holly, good morning to you. You are a wonderful sweet lady. This is a wonderful box. 5/5.
Good morning to you. You brighten my day. I look forward to seeing you on Utube.
Open Gate is a great box. This month it's a 4 and 5 as well. The table top quilt is cute but the dark fabric is not me. TFS
That little River is just adorable!! Loved the open gate box. Always a good one! Hope you have a wonderful week!
Opengate is always a fabulous box. Plus, they use nicer fabric too. The tan and black are a great combination. The bookmark idea ( to add to the tote) would be such a fantastic gift. The fat quarter bloom is beautiful. This box outshines all of the previous boxes. I'd give it double 5's for each category. Love OpenGate! ❤❤❤ River gets a 10! She's precious.
I can rate this now: 5+: 5. Great box.❤❤❤
Good morning Holly sending hugs. The Open Gate Box is delightful with the black and tan motif. I really enjoy your videos they are enlightening and joyful. Have a wonderful day.
I so look forward to your videos, you are so smiley this morning. Hugs all around.
Good to see you again I absolutely loved the materials ❤
The random fat quarter is gorgeous . Lovely. I have started making small projects for my grandkids which involves a few zippers. The process is getting easier. I would give this box a 4.5 and value a 5. So I am guessing you must have started as well on Christmas projects.. Happy to see that radiant smile. Hope all is well. Love you too. Give River a hug from all of us.
I give this box a 5 thank you for sharing your nature with us and the singing birds.
I really like the pattern. I can see it done with making each spool a different color, that would be fun. Loved hearing the birds. Holly you show kindness to all of us, so you deserve kindness right back at you!
Open Gate does an excellent job. The project/fabric is not my favorite. I give this box a 4. River is so adorable. Thank you for sharing. Be well.
Good morning Holly!!! ☕️💜 It is so nice when we can leave a door open, even partially! It’s still way hot here but I too love to hear the birds and my wind chimes! Thank you for sharing the boxes with us, it’s very nice, not my taste but again, very nice and the quality is there and the value! Love those acorn pillows!! You are so pretty in that fuchsia top, and you’re smiling, I hope you’re doing very well. RIVER!!!! She has a beautiful smile too! 🥰
Love, love, love. Open gate is always the best. 5 and 5
Hey Holly, it's nice to see you. I love your door open❤
Very pretty fall colors - except the black & cream. Sending Light and Love to All. ❤🙏❤
On a scale of 1 to 5..... I think it's a 10! Glad to see you having a good day 😊 you certainly brighten ours 🥰
The fabric in this box reminds me that Fall is right around the corner. I give this box a 5.
Good Monday everyone. What a great way to start our week with our Sweet Moment of Zen!
Great box. I love black & tan.
Thank you for sharing!
Have a blessed week y’all!!!
Good morning all and happy Monday! I had a mostly pleasant weekend - went to a birthday party on Saturday (and I'm so glad Mr O & I went, as only one other person showed up), sewed up a second round basket, and (on the not so good side) managed to hurt my shoulder last night by pulling open the freezer door. Go figure. Today we're going to an arboretum and possibly to one of my favorite restaurants for lunch, which will be nice.
Oh, yes, this is gooooooood box. Well, of course it is, it's Open Gate :-) Fun patterns, beautiful fabrics, a useful notion (I have *got* to get me some washi tape, if I ever find it in a shop around here), and a neutral yet pretty thread; what more can one ask for? It's a little surprising that the add-on pattern takes so many fat quarters when you only get four in the packet with it, although choosing the remaining 16 out of one's stash pretty much guarantees that it will be a one-of-a-kind quilt when it's done, and "no one else has one exactly like this, even if they used the same pattern" is part of the appeal of handcrafted items.
I judge the patterns differently than you do. It's not "would I make it?" but rather "do I like it?" Collecting patterns is a hobby in and of itself; they're fun to look at & think about, even if one never actually makes the item. Full marks from me on this one for both "would I want it?" and "is there value?" for a rating of 5 out of 5.
Great job naming those eyeballs is chopsticks and eyeballs!
Hello Holly, you look lovely as always! Thank you for sharing that moment of zen, River is so precious. The Open Gate box is nice, I'm not a huge fan of the spool pattern or the fabric for it, but the other fabric is great. My vote is a 3 on making it and 5 on value. The acorn pillows are adorable. I hope you have a wonderful day.... until next time.
Oh I could just look at Miss River all the time. Oh heck I do look at her all the time as she is cutest baby ever in 2024. That fabric did have you name on it Holly, and Holly did you know today was National Elephant Day??? I sew forgot to send you a memo! 😂😂 Standing in corner, head down. 😂😂 This box not my favorite and would not buy I must say 3 and 5. Holly you brighten all our days, and Lesa wants in on the group as she rings the chimes. Thank You Holly once again for all you do. Love you 🥰 🥰🥰🥰 hugs 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗Love ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is a 4/4 for Mel. The fabrics are pretty, but not my style. I loved seeing baby River…wow is she growing. Just so precious!
Beautiful fabrics and pattern. Too small for me. 4 on both.
Hi y’all I think this box is fantabulous!
5/5
Zen: she is such a doll 100+++
❤️😀
Open gate is great, but this time for me it is a 4.
Tiffany's Quilting Life usually sew s up these projects, if you want to see them made up.
Yes please!
Awww, sweet River. She is so precious. Holly Dear, the reason our comments are upbeat is because of you. You are like a ray of sunshine and your kindness is inspiring. I hope you make the spinning spools, I Love it. Happy Monday sweet friend ❤️🩹 🌞
Oh and my vote is 5/5
4,5
Love your new hair length.
Love the Open Gate subscription box. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my subscription because my discretionary funds are getting low and the box projects are piling up. I’d give this a 3 and a 5, just because I’d personally probably not do either project.
I agree with you, all of the fabrics is absolutely a 5 but that pattern isn't one I would use. Absolutely love this fabric line. Thanks for sharing!
Love the add on fat qtr…beautiful fabric. I would not make the pattern…
Hi Holly! You have such a nice view out your sliding glass doors, I envy you! I love the fabric and pattern in this box! That first fat quarter is so cool!
Love watching
Hi Holly, you look very pretty in your pink top. I am a fan of Open Gates, but this time, I'm not crazy about the fabric or pattern. I would give the box a 4 & 5. Sweet little River, who can't smile after seeing that cute little face.

You need to contact them and explain what you received. They are super nice and will want to know.

I would definitely give it a 5 and 5! I agree that I won’t make the pillow but I love the fabric! River is absolutely adorable!🥰
A box full of beautiful fabric!5
I have never done the spool block but have seen some done that were really neat. So I think I'm ok with the pattern and I like the colors of the fabric. So I am going to give this a 5 and a 5.
You look so happy today Holly. I'm still sitting in my recliner wishing the week would go by Fast! Then I can start taking steps with my big boot on.

i love the fabric but like you i wouldn’t make that pattern. so i too give it a 4. but the value is a 5. love , love the fat quarter add on and it would be lovely in the acorn pillows. do make them so we can see!
I would probably not make the pattern but give the fabrics a 5.😊🧡💛
