Hi, hey, welcome to my channel. I'm Holly and I love to create, mostly with fabric since I fell in love with quilting. Here on Dandelion Stitches I share quilting ideas, fabric hauls, but what I love the most is reviewing quilting subscription boxes. Several times a year we do a three month Battle of the Boxes where you get the chance to vote for your favorite, or not so favorite.
I'm past the age of retirement and proudly claim my "aging hippie" status. I have 3 adult children, 6 (soon to be 7) exceptional grandchildren and a giant Australian Labradoodle named Dandelion. Look for her at the end of each video. Several months ago I was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and I share a bit of that journey here. If you see my hands shake, that's why.
Kind and more than a little quirky, my goal for this channel is to provide a positive, drama-free place for you to come and share my love of fabric, color, and life.

FABRIC HAUL - Floribunda from the Create Joy Project.
Maybe there SHOULD be quilt police to ticket quilt companies that steal $ from quilters via scam subscription boxes.
Is there no pattern to make from the pumpkins?
The Common thread. I like the fabric, but the cost is way too high. 3/2
Fabric is okay, price is not okay. Their website is weird. Click on most of the tabs, and it comes up with 'this is empty'. I'd give the box 1, and that's being generous. I like jewel colours, pastels. and just about every other colour except mustard. Sorry about your bronchitis, coughing can be tiring. Hope you're much better very soon.
Hi Holly, I give this a 1. The only real thing of interest is the stacker, and that’s not worth $100. I’d never use the papers cause pumpkins are not my thing. Sorry. But I’m happy to see you. XOXO Take care my friend. Carol from down the road
I would also give this box a one. They could have packed the box better for mailing. I tend to gravitate toward purple and reds.
I have a feeling this box will not be around for very much longer! For the price, the value certainly is not even close. To add insult to injury, the shipping is an additional expense! I’d much rather spend my money elsewhere! I’m no different than the next person, I want a screaming deal but what I don’t want is to be taken advantage of and this box, although the fabric is lovely fall colors, packs no punch, no excitement! I’m left wanting and feeling like you/we deserve more! The plastic zipper pouches can be purchased for little to nothing on Amazon and can barely be counted toward the total cost. I have paid $49 for a new release layer cake that I felt like I really wanted but I’m not sure about the pumpkin papers since pumpkins are a relatively easy shape to duplicate. If it were me, I would be discontinuing this box and spending my money where I can definitely get more bang for my buck. Is 1s across the board too harsh or maybe too generous?! $105 ish would go a long way towards a nice fat quarter bundle! Well, that was a long post to say, ‘Thank you but no thank you!’😏
I vote a 1 only because I love the fabric. That's a bad box
I give the fabric a 5 and 0 for cost
My first thought… Wow! it’s not worth $99. However I did like the fabric and the pumpkin papers. I feel you should feel like you got a deal when you get a box 2
This box is terrible. 1 it is still not worth it. Terrible they charge an outrageous price for a very poor box
All I can think of is would I stand in line with that in my cart knowing the cost I’d be paying. I vote 1
Hi Holly!! Wow that’s way too much for what you get and I give this box a 2 😮 my favorite colors are blue, purple, wine, pink… well I like lots of colors except most greens, mustards and I’m not crazy about some neons.
Hello Holly it's so nice to see you today. I spent the night in the hospital on Saturday falling again but this fall fixed what was heard on the fall Monday.❤
Open! Thank You for a chance to win this beautiful box!
So wonderful to be open to all the joys of life! Keep going!!
I love metallic fabric.
Hi Holly, At first I thought the fabric is ugly. But when you showed the entire collection together, I can see great possibilities in the collection. You’ve opened my eyes to new ideas. I have my original Bernina 150, but I sew on my Bernina 570QE. I love her. So far no name. I have a Bernina Kaffe Edition which goes to classes and get-aways. She is Fiona but named before my puppy came. Take care my friend. XOXO Carol from down the road
Open Gate box always impresses.
Open !!! I enjoy your videos, you are so positive for us and yourself! Greatly appreciated
Your headpiece is not too much; it's fabulous! Oh, Dandelion ... 💝
Did you know what is white is culturally defined. In the US blue tinged white is white, in Latin America red tinged white is white. This even plays out in the color of laundry detergent used on whites.
Love this Open Gate box! Would love to be able to get it.
Pokey Pig
Congratulations to both of you!
Open Gate Quilt has the best projects
Thank you Holly! OPEN Gate is beautiful.
This was great, I had a pattern that I got on the Robert Kaufman website and it was poorly written, I was so lost I found your site and was able to finish the bag. I hope to make future bags just like you just made.
Holly: You are the best, have such a loving and open heart: I smiled during the entire time I watched this video. I can relate to the dog story❤
I would grab that box out of the postal person's hands and open immediately. Hugs❤
👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉 Congratulations Joyfulstitching AND Holly!!! What a milestone and a wonderful gift. 🥰❤️😀
Great job. Easy to follow demonstration. Much appreciated.
Open Gate box is a solid 5! Thank you for sharing.
What a beautiful Open Gate box! I love sunflowers and that runner will be great. I rate the box a 5. Thanks for another fun video Holly!
This box I adorable. A en out of ten or in case a five.
Open curates a great box…but (with the add ons) is a a little pricey at $86 … love the fat quarter add on and the project #1…but the project #2 is just meh for me…so all together I give this one a 4. Thanks for sharing the newest open gate box with us!
Congratulations!!!
The box is definitely a 5 for me in both evaluations.
Open gate box is so nice
Fabulous box! I needed your little video of joy. Thinking and praying for all the victims of Helene, I feel guilty doing something for myself when so many are suffering. Love to you🥰
Congratulations 🎊 🎉
I would give the Open gate box a 5. Love the bright fabrics!
Congratulations!
Congratulations to @JoyfulStitching for winning the 10K giveaway♥
I would love to OPEN this box. Such beautiful fabrics and projects. Your kindness shines 😊
A 5 for sure. All of the fabric is beautiful!
Loved watching you open the box of beautiful fall fabric and projects!
HI Holly, I"m OPEN to this lovely box!, it's a 5/5 in my opinion. Thanks Holly, have a great weekend, N
I would love to open an Open Gate box of my own! 🙂And I had a mini Butterfinger today.
Holly - I’m so glad I’ve found you on UA-cam! Love your head pieces, your personality and your videos! Keep them coming!
So glad you found the channel, too; thanks for being here!
