I've just opened my box. I liked a lot of the things in it. This is my first year for the Keepsake box, and I like their fabric packs, which I've ordered a lot in the past. For the past two years I ordered the Missouri Star boxes, and although I liked them, they had too much stuff in them that I would never use, particularly a lot of things geared toward hand sewing, which I hate to do. I ended up donating a lot of the stuff, so I thought I'd try the Keepsake box this year. I think next year, I'm just going to use the money to buy fabric, and skip the boxes.
It is 2/3rds the way through February and it is still listed on thier website at full price! I was thinking of buying it until watching your video. Thanks for your honest review. Their description of what to expect from this box is VERY misleading. As you pointed out very little fabric or high quality notions but lots of paperwork/ promotion content. Thank you for saving me $200+ (I am Canadian so exchange/shipping). 🙂
The box has a lot of cute stuff and the fabrics are so pretty but I know your box has more bang for the bucks! The sounds of your grandson playing is a joy to hear!!
My first time buying this box. I really wish these boxes would contain fewer PINK projects. I can't be the only quilter who stays away from pink. Every advent box I bought this year is teeming with it. Anyway, I don't know that I intend to order it again. I've bought many of their pineapple packs and also the pineapple slice boxes, until the price increase, and have loved their products.
You box by far is a better value and I just opened 6 days. Definitely needed more fabric to finish projects. They could have thrown in 2 Diana packs as they gave you 2 patterns using that type of pack. Honestly I’ve never ordered from pineapple fabrics so I’m not familiar except for your previous unboxing.
It's a cute box, but I didn't find the value to be near what I paid. Like I said, if they lowered the price a bunch and added more fabric I would be more excited about it.
I got the box and I am so disappointed! My mug arrived broken. I contacted them immediately and I'm still waiting for a replacement. My Diana pineapple pack fabric is so ugly. Different prints but all the same weird blue color. I expected better notions. These all have lower price points. And we received hardly any fabric and patterns. Last years was so much better. I won't purchase this box again. Thanks for sharing. Always like to hear your opinion.
First time buying this box because I heard about last years box. What a disappointment. There is not $150 worth stuff in this box! I came here to see if my thoughts were confirmed.
I agree the box was overpriced for the items that were received. Very disappointing will not be buying this one next year. Thanks for doing the review and validating my feelings towards it.
I wasn't sure if i wanted to get this box or not. I did subscribe and it is on its way now. I don't think I will be getting this another year. Not really impressed with it. I feel there should be more fabric for what we paid for it!! To many nick knack things for and I don't know if would make the projects or not. I might be giving them to someone who will like them. Too many coupons to entice you to buy more.
I purchased this box from a review of their box of 2022. What I received, I was not really impressed with. Not impressed with the Pineapple fabrics. Nor was I impressed with the patterns. I to will not be getting this one again. Don't know whose box I will get next year.
I have started doing boxes because I didn't like the options available. I still have a few left if you're interested in checking them out. Here's the link to make it easy for you; softsquares.com/shop-now/ols/categories/boxes---holiday-birthday-mystery-scrap--gift
It’s nice to see my opinion validated I was so disappointed after last years amazing box
You are not alone
Thx for sharing!! Some really cute stuff.
Thanks for watching!

I'm sorry to hear about your experience. The boxes are so different from each other.

He is 4 and had new toy! lol
@@SoftSquares my granddaughter is 4 lol they are so much fun at that age!
That’s a really nice box
Glad you liked it
Wow - I would have really been disappointed if I had ordered this. The items look like something from a sales rack.
I hope not too many people ordered it because I agree

I agree with you
I bought this based on the comments I saw on last years box. I was very disappointed. I was expecting more fabric/projects rather than notions.
I totally agree!
My box is missing the 1/2 yard cut of strawberry fabric😰
That is a bummer. :-(

I'm so sorry, but completely understand. I appreciate you watching my videos and for your comments.
I sent keepsake quilting a long email on how disappointed I was with this box and how it would be my last
Good! I have not heard of anyone liking it this year. They need to know.
I would have preferred the camera aimed at the box.
Good to know. Thank you for your comment.

I'm sorry to say that I agree with you. I'm bummed about the box and sad to see how different they went with it from last years.

I agree. I believe they did themselves a HUGE disservice by changing their box. I've only seen comments that are similar to yours (and mine).

So very glad I didn't buy this one. I haven't seen any of the Xmas boxes worth buying this year.
this was disappointing
Thanks for sharing the contents of the box. This has helped me make my decision to not order a box. I was not impressed with the contents of the box.
I agree. They made a big mistake this year. I don't think anyone will get it next year.
I am very disappointed! I heard d last years was way better, won’t buy this again.
I feel the same way
Worst box I have seen. I agree way overpriced.
It's sad, but true
I love keepsake quilting but I was not impressed.
I have been happy with them until now.
I think this is. Disappointing box.
I wonder if they will try to do it next year.
