This box was AMAZING!!! Deb Strain took a common theme and gave it a Refresh! The backing fabric is divine!!! The whole collection has been refreshed, it's a little more contemporary and elegant. This makes me want to buy fabric!!! It really really does!
This Open Gate box is amazing! Make sure you look up the rest of the Desert Oasis line from Moda, it's all beautiful! I have several pieces just waiting for me to make a quilt. Last winter, we camped in the desert in Quartzsite, Arizona. Best experience ever!
I wish she could have a type of subscription with the small /medium projects . I love her boxes but I am not a quilter . I enjoy sewing projects that involve quilting .
I got to meet Deb Strain from Moda last week at our sewing guild. She was extremely nice and fun to listen to. I love all her work. Those placemats are going to be gorgeous! And I’m not a placemat person! 10/10!
Okay, the dancing daisies fabrics are gorgeous! I'm also not into yellow but with all the cream and grays - love it! I know we aren't judging but I like to be judgie so TEN! I got her Halloween specialty box last year (cause of you) and loved it. You sent me the Christmas house table topper and although I messed up the cutting and had to (had to I say) add grunge, it turned out wunderbar. Great projects! All the colors are fantastic and right up my alley - I do wish she had extra fabrics for sale - so I guess just plan on ordering two or three boxes at a time? Congrats winners - I thought DRK2 was either Batman person (Dark Knight) OR a K-2 doctor?
I reluctantly gave up my monthly Open Gate box because I just can’t keep up with all of the projects and other projects I have. With that I gave myself permission to get specialty boxes, and I am so happy I got this box. The fabric is even lovelier in person and the projects will be great. If we were judging I would definitely give it a 10+!!
Thanks so much Holly, I needed to hear what you said today. When life kind of sucks we can still see the loveliness around us. I so needed that. And the box is crazy awesome.
Beautiful fabric! Thanks for the video! The watercolor fabric well, makes my mouth water! Desert oasis is stunning! (HaHa! I typed "stunning" just before you said "stunningly beautiful" Great Minds Think Alike!
I’m not okay at all. My sweet dear Shih Tzu, Senghe, that would have been 18 on the 21th has to leave me tomorrow. I sent a picture that is on your rolling screen. I’ve had him since he was eight weeks old. This is the day I have dreaded for years. He’s getting all the love and attention I can give him. Blessings.
That’s an interesting way to use a salt cellar. The fabric is not my jam personally but I can appreciate that others may enjoy it. It’s nice that the box had multiple projects.
Hi Holly. I started the regular open gate box and now am going to have to get this too. I love all of the bee fabric and I’m a yellow person. Thank you for sharing.
OMG I’m so bummed. I received the email to order this box but with my dad’s accident/passing away early February, it went under the radar. And I had to stop the video when you pulled out that sweet Daisy pin cushion to have a moment. At Dad’s funeral the deacon gave a heartfelt 😊talk about him and then handed a daisy remembrance pin to each of us. So Daisies seem to be our comfort that he is near. 🌼💜🦋 absolutely fabulous box! Have a wonderful day! ~ Doreen
This is the most beautiful fabric I’ve seen in a long time! I could see this is so many projects for my home! 💕💕. Love the placemat a bunch! Your hair looks so pretty today! Great open gates spring box!! Love the view of the birds. I have bird feeders as well.
Congratulations to the Winners!! YAY Holly we were able to see the birds. Sometimes if I’m watching the screen I tend to not listen carefully to you, 😂😂😂😂 just saying! Spring Box is awesome. Thought I had ordered it, about Dec However if I don’t get it it’s ok! Water Heater flooded garage had to get new 1 the went out today to go pick up RX’s and my car would not start! I just replaced battery less than 3 years ago, made a call AAA came out since I had my receipt, they replaced battery for Free!! YAY for me. 😂😂😂😂 I was thinking Holly, if River is already 4 lbs. she may just come early. Kysa won’t be able to carry her much longer. Can’t wait to see her. ❤️ 🥰 🤗
Even though you are not judging this box, I would give it an 11, it’s fabulous! Do you mind if I ask how much it costs? Also, I’m sorry you have not been feeling well, but I must say, your curled hair looks great.
Talk about perfect comedic timing! When you were talking about how long this video is, there was an ad in the middle so it came out as "...or just take a bre-" ::cuts to commercial:: Guess TH-cam really needed that break! I literally laughed out loud when it happened. It also makes me smile when you apologize for the video being long; it's like, "Oh, no, we're getting MORE of the thing we come here for, whatever shall we do?" Open Gate has, as usual, hit it out of the ballpark with this one. Three projects, with backing & binding included? Triple play! The pincushion looks like it will be fun to make, and I love that it's done on top of a little box so you can store a little thread conditioner or beeswax in it, or a packet of hand needles, or a bit of soap for sharpening pins. The best crafts are ones where you end up with a usable object, and not just something that will collect dust (although those have their place, too, don't get me wrong). Regarding the Dancing Daisies quilt square, that bees-and-flowers theme is absolutely delightful, especially with the yellows being more of a goldenrod color than a true, bright yellow. (I *love* goldenrod as a color.) I'm itching to make a small tablecloth using the cream-with-a-daisy-border, plus some napkins made from the yellow print. And then of course there are the placemats, which I think is my favorite of the three projects. The fabric looks like waterpaintings, just gorgeous. If you turn the sort of stripey-one 90 degrees, it would look like a pond, very restful & relaxing. They really put a lot of thought and creativity into this box; it's very obviously spring-themed, without using the usual pinks and pastel greens so often associated with the season. Beautiful colors, fun projects that all coordinate well as a set, absolutely *gorgeous* fabrics and just overall a fantastic box. EDIT - Auuugh, almost forgot - Congratulations Paula and DrK!! Those boxes were lovely and I hope you enjoy them 🙂
Good Tuesday morning! Congrats to the winners👏 love love the fabric and j don't love yellows. Really love the desert fabric beautiful. Its a winner over the top its a 10 plus for me . kisses to dandelion. Have a wonderful day!!!!
Hi Holly. What a pretty collection of projects! Hope you will share your finishes with us! I am especially Interested in the pin cushion! Sooo cute and different. And those pins…oh my gosh. Still thinking about D. Hope she’s soon back to her normal little cutie self. And you are still in my thoughts and prayers as well. ♥️🤍♥️
Open Gate literally blows the other boxes out of the park! I absolutely would not use the beautiful fabric intended for backing of the quilt, it would be used to make my quilt larger and buy more fabric if needed for the border and binding! Also, the selvages with the bees and quotes on the teal fabric would be incorporated into the quilt such as on the tag etc. Dearly love everything about this box♥ Congrats to DrK2 and Paula on your winnings!! Be well my friend and hugs to you, Tom and Dandelion♥ Love to all the Wishes from Kansas♥
Open Gate…she never fails to blow my mind. I LOVE the yellow and grey. I NEVER thought I’d make placemats…but you know…I might with that fabric. Or, like you…buy more and make something else pretty to stare at. :) Thank you so much for sharing. And so fun to watch the give-aways. Have a beautiful day.
Good Morning! Love this box. The Dancing Daisy's material and quilt are adorable. And I do not like yellow at all. But I like this. The pin Cushion adorable also. And the spring has sprung material is scrumptious. I would make a wall hanging with it instead of placemats. Very beautiful. Excellent Box. If we were grading, this would be my first 10. I hope you start feeling better. Just remember, even with a chronic illness, you can still have good days. See you tomorrow.
Hi Holly I love this box but not subscribed to it. Do you know if I could get April's box if I subscribed now? I just adore it. I have been watching the unboxings of Open Gate, and like what I have seen. I would love to have this spring 2024 specialty box also.
Every time I cleansing breathe, I yawn, maybe cause I'm wat hing in the middle of the night😂😂. This box would have been rated 11/10. Absolutely wonderful. Congrats to the winners. Watched twice, had to zoom in the birds.
Great Spring Box!!!
Gorgeous box

Love breathing but the birds are wonderful, so jealous, havent put out bird feeders yet. Beautiful!!!!
Thank you for sharing Holly. I love your shows and look forward to it, even stay up till midnight.
Be blessed 💜
Your little River is precious. She has perfect little features.
Hey Charolett! She is adorable. I think preemie babies look like little elves. She is starting to get a little bit of meat on those little bones.
That is an awesome box!! Love all the fabrics!!❤
This is a perfect box! I love everything in it! 🎉
That was a very nice box.
I absolutely love everything in this box. Thank you for sharing. Love Dandelion.
Holly, this box is a 10. Thanks

The fabric for the place mats would be a wonderful 3
Yd quilt
👍👍👍 hope you are able to make these projects, would love to see them completed.
I’m not okay at all. My sweet dear Shih Tzu, Senghe, that would have been 18 on the 21th has to leave me tomorrow. I sent a picture that is on your rolling screen. I’ve had him since he was eight weeks old. This is the day I have dreaded for years. He’s getting all the love and attention I can give him. Blessings.
I'm so sorry. Of course you are not okay. Sending you love for your broken heart.
I am so sad for you. They are never with us long enough. 😢
I was so excited to see your Chelsea Garden.. I just purchased this layer cake and yardage. I love this fabric.
That’s an interesting way to use a salt cellar. The fabric is not my jam personally but I can appreciate that others may enjoy it. It’s nice that the box had multiple projects.
Perhaps the green would be lovely sashing. I'm partial to white.
10's across the board. Thanks Holly
Thanks❤

Goodmorning Holly! Wowza! That's some neat stuff! I hope you'll show us what you make!
Have a lovely day!
Loved the daisy material
That white with bees and a row of daisies would make a lovely tablecloth 😮
I think that Monique is fantastic
Hi Holly, today our first bluebird arrived! That definitely put a smile on my face. Open Gate is becoming my favorite box! I'd give this a 10+.
Wow!! I know this box isn't rated, but it's a 10 for me!!! Also, it sure seems like yellow is a "trending " color this spring 💛. Thanks Holly.
This is the most beautiful fabric I’ve seen in a long time! I could see this is so many projects for my home! 💕💕. Love the placemat a bunch! Your hair looks so pretty today! Great open gates spring box!! Love the view of the birds. I have bird feeders as well.
Love the fabric and projects. I have both of the main project collections!
This box is awesome! Thank you for sharing!😊
Hi Holly! Are you not judging this box? Well its very pretty. Open Gates does a great box. Enjoy it! Love to see what you make.😊
Hi Holly, I'm very impressed with this box. It's a 9 from me x

Hey Auntie Sharon - IT'S BABY DAY! I'll keep you posted. xoxo
@@DandelionStitches OMG I’m so
Excited for you and everyone!! I knew River was ready!! 🥰 🤗 ❤️
Thank you Holly! I am so thrilled that you love this box! I pray you feel better, my friend.
This box was very popular. You did a lovely job! I love the watercolor looking fabrics. Good job Team Open Gate!
@@murlthomas2243 thank you!!
Open Gate is the bomb. Beautiful fabric!! Have a great day and keep smiling.
I ❤everything in the box. My favorite flower is a simple Daisy.
Even though you are not judging this box, I would give it an 11, it’s fabulous! Do you mind if I ask how much it costs? Also, I’m sorry you have not been feeling well, but I must say, your curled hair looks great.
I think it was $179. Worth every penny.
I agree, those three adorable projects are well worth it!
Wow!! A fabulous box! I need to get my hands on the watercolor fabrics. It is stunning fabrics. Happy Spring day to you😊
Love all the fabric pretty yellow. Looking forward to seeing the quilt. Glad you finally got a break in the weather.
Monique has exquisite taste! I ordered the box when it was first announced. I’m in NJ and my box should come today or tomorrow. I can’t wait!😊❤
Wow! That was an exciting box; love the fabric. But I do miss Dandelion.

What a gorgeous box!
Open Gate really thinks of everything. I looked up this box-$179. It’s a whole springtime of projects though!
Wow Open Gate hit it out of the park once again!! I loved it all especially the watercolor looking fabric! Great box. Congrats to the winners!🎉
Good Tuesday morning! Congrats to the winners👏 love love the fabric and j don't love yellows. Really love the desert fabric beautiful. Its a winner over the top its a 10 plus for me . kisses to dandelion. Have a wonderful day!!!!
How that’s an amazing box. I keep thinking I need a box from them. TFS
❤❤❤ I love the fabric in this box. And the projects.
Wow! Beautiful fabrics! Bless you Holly. Pam Miller
Some of the fabric, I love the colors, but not the pattern on it. Sending Light and Love to Everyone. ❤🙏❤
10+!! Maybe 11. 😊
Hi Holly. What a pretty collection of projects! Hope you will share your finishes with us! I am especially Interested in the pin cushion! Sooo cute and different. And those pins…oh my gosh. Still thinking about D. Hope she’s soon back to her normal little cutie self. And you are still in my thoughts and prayers as well. ♥️🤍♥️
Love the open gate fabric. Be blessed Holly.❤
How much for the specialty box? Too bad no large images provided for the finished pin cushion, place mats, and lazy daisy quilt.
$179. I agree about the images, but the instruction sheet was really well done.
Wow, All great projects. Love the fabric!

Very pretty items....... not a fan of the daisy fabric. Cute pin cushion!
Omg!!! I’m so excited!!! Thank you so so so much! I will send you an email! ❤️
Congrats !
Another beautiful box by Monique at Open Gate! 🎉❤🎉❤
Hi Holly, this box is Wowza ! See you next time.
Open Gate…she never fails to blow my mind. I LOVE the yellow and grey. I NEVER thought I’d make placemats…but you know…I might with that fabric.

Holly I think Open Gate Quilts finally broke you into yellow!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Monique has chosen gorgeous fabric as usual!
Hi Holly. What an amazing box! I love the fabrics!
Hello Holly! I had a total eclipse in my neck of the woods. Did the rain leave your area? It rained big time here in Texas. Your hair is beautiful.❤
No eclipse here. Bummer. It has stopped raining, though!
Love the box. 19 minutes fir a video is not too long for me. It's the ones that last one and half to 2 hours. That's a lot. TFS
You look beautiful 😊
Wow...thank you. xo
@@DandelionStitches loved watching the birds too
