always beautiful fabric, nice contrast with the black & white.
I like your scissor case. The flap strap was a great save! Kaffe fabric is always so bright and beautiful!
I love your color choices for your scissor pouch. I think it’s adorable, but i get it, when youre the sewist, you see everything. :)
Hello Holly, you look great!!! I love the fabric in this box. It will be a beautiful quilt. Thank you for sharing. Until next time, have a wonderful day!
Wow! Kaffe for the win. I think that quilt will be stunning. I love all of the colors. Happy Monday!
Crazy about this box. Colors are outstanding and they make me happy! Your hair is beautiful and so your smile. Zen is wonderful. My son in law raises bees and they give me hope in the future. Your channel uplifts me every time. 😊
❤❤❤Oh my stars !!! I love love love this fabric. I love the Fort Worth box. Good people. Weekend was great. Saw new Bernina and WOW. I wish I was younger. And rich. And believed in myself back then. Lol -Wishes and dreams don't waste them.
I love Kaffe's cool colors best. And your scissor pouch came out so cute. Sending Light and Love to All. ❤🙏❤
I absolutely love the scissor pouch! Don’t beat yourself up!! I’m in love with the Fort Worth box!! The Kaffe fabric is GORGEOUS!!!!❤️❤️👍🏼. You look awesome!! xo
Never stop what brings you joy! Sewing is my happy place too. Kaffe is one of my favorite designers. You need to make the quilt and see what a contrast the black make and how beautiful it is. I made one and the contrast is what makes it so beautiful. Enjoy your sewing and have a blessed day!
Great box. I put the small mat on top of my large mat when triming hundreds of small pieces, saving wear on my expensive large mat
Great idea, and those little mats "spin" easily even though they are not a rotating mat!
I love looking at Kaffe Fassett fabrics. I think they’re gorgeous. I’m a bit intimidated by cutting them though.
Thank you for sharing with us again, Holly. I love the box.
That fabric is beautiful. I love the bold colors. It is nice they gave you enough to do the quilt top.
Have a good week. I love your moment of zen. Thank you.
Hello from Canada. Love your videos and your sense of humour. You make me chuckle. Sewing brings me joy too.
Somehow i love the onion rings, and all the bright colors!!
Love all the spots....lol. Though some more than others. Beautiful fabrics! ❤
I love the box. Thank you for your beautiful attitude 😊
I can't believe I once didn't like Kaffe fabrics. These are gorgeous eye candy, and I love the black white elements too. I used the onion rings print as the backing and it's now one of my favorite quilts. $70 for a quilt top plus notions is a great deal!
Definitely my colors as well, go purple and green! Well some blues too.
Hi Holly! I'm not a Kaffe fan. But who doesnt love a big fat beautiful blossom!
The zen went perfectly with them!
i am a huge kaffe fan. i had a grandma and she loved modern items so kaffe reminds me of her! i would love to hear him speak . with a floral background i just dig him and robin pickens regarding floral anything. i always look for anna marie horner as she blends with kaffe. so funny you mentioned her.
i am glad fort worth went to every other month so maybe i can some of these projects done!
I have never loved Kaffe in general BUat this works! I love the big blue and purple cabbage leaf prints nadcthe black and white prints together! This was a great box for the money too!
Wow! That Kaffe fabric is beautiful!
Awesome box. Soon as I saw it thought of my Destanie. She would just love that quilt I’ll go look see if they have any more! Fingers crossed! 😂😂 Thanks Holly, for all you do. ❤️❤️🤗🤗🥰🥰🤗🥰
Such a great blue for this box!
Thanks for sharing. What a lovely introduction to my Monday morning. Be blessed my friend.
Great box! I love Kaffe fabrics.
Nice box. I like some Kaffe and some I don’t, same with Tula. I can’t wait to see what you do with it, have fun!
I started on a baby quilt for my niece’s baby number 3 as a reward for spending some time making my happy place happy again. Isn’t keeping our sewing spaces organized always a work in process? I like your scissors pouch.. I saw someone else open this box and they were thrilled because their box had paper and no squiggles. Looks like you got squiggles and he made the same remark about the embroidery scissors. 😂. I love this box. Thanks for sharing
Beautiful box!!! I'm generally not a fan of Kaffe but this is gorgeous! I giggle every time you get scissors!!! Your collection should be getting quite large by now! Have a beautiful week my dear Holly♥
Good morning Holly, it's nice to see you.😊
Hi, Charlotte, it's Holly's assistant, Lisa. I'm going through the comments today while Holly is busy preparing for some things this week. She'll be catching up on comments later in the week, but wanted to make sure I popped in to reply in her absence. Have a great week!
I love the fabric and pattern for this box.
Wow beautiful fabric
The fabric is fabulous. I love it.
I think Liberty and kaffe in one quilt would be interesting, a wee print combined with a super big one. I may need to give that a try myself
Thank you for sharing! I think that box is definitely worth the price. Quilting kits are pricey these days!
I love that fabric. The colors are beautiful.
The itty bitty mat would be great for trimming 1/2 square triangles with the clearly perfect slotted rulers. Love the fabric. Had a good day shopping for fabric, tidied up my sewing room and did some cutting. Am happy to see you are doing better too.
What a great box! The lotus blossom fabric looked like it had cupcakes and drinks tucked into places? Love some Kaffe, not all but I sure loved these!
Good Morning Holly!! Hoping for coffee soon, LOL, my daughter’s wonderful boyfriend has a very nice espresso machine and I don’t know what to do with it!😂. He will be up soon so I can enjoy ☕️, and it is really amazingly delicious! We are enjoying being with them and doing touristy things in Seattle. I love the Ft Worth box, those beautiful fabrics and that pattern will work up pretty quickly. Awesome!!! Please show us when you do it! 😍. So glad I got to see you this morning! 🤗
We spent the last few days visiting with both my daughters and their kids. Six grands from 3 to 13. Lots of fun and fighting, as you’d suppose. We’ll, more squabbling, I guess, and all music to my ears as they only gather together once a year. ❤️
And I get to sew all day tomorrow as hubby is taking our eldest and her two daughters to Calico Ghost Town outside beautiful Barstow CA(said very tongue-in-cheek), at their request, “Um, girls, you realize it’s going to be 100 degrees, right?” And I don’t have to go! Yay. 😅
Ohhhh what a wonderful time!!!
🥰❤️😀
@@marlenehinton5749 LOL -- poor you ... have to stay home and quilt.🙃 This is Holly's assistant, Lisa, looking through comments today as Holly is busy prepping for some things this week, but will catch up on comments later in the week. Enjoy your day quilting!
GM. The scissors donate to a lical 4 H club. Have a great week.
from Gerry- the small mat is great for squaring up hst and you can rotate it over your large mat. Blessings.
Wow!! That box was off the chain!!! Kaffe fabrics are certainly eye-candy. I've never used them because I can't see myself cutting most of them. Did you notice on the black & white one that had what looked like letters, had Kaffe within it? Hidden like an eastrr egg. Have a Groovy wonderful Monday❤
Ooh, easter egg ... fun! Too bad there weren't also Cadburry eggs in the box! Replying today on behalf of Holly (this is her assistant, Lisa) as she is busy preparing for some things this week and will be looking at comments later this week. Have a super week!
@TheHawkeyeQuilter thank you Lisa!
❤ I love the way you do the Fabric displays and your comments. So many of the other UA-camrs just gosh and get all of this all this is so pretty oh this is beautiful. Oh, I like this how cute how cute how cute and they use the same words over and over again cute Pretty love. You have a conversation with the Fabric and I really like it.
Thank you so much!
Embroidery scissors are like socks missing from the dryer for me I have a lot of them but can never find them. Love the idea of every other month boxes. I will have to check them out. Have a great week. Stay dry😉
Good morning and happy Monday! My weekend was pretty good. As of last Friday, my partner is officially retired so we'll actually be able to spend quality time together 😀 Saturday, I worked on making a new handbag - same pattern as my current one, but different fabrics and hopefully no mistakes in the finished project this time - and yesterday was another build day for Midsummer Scream. Also our neighbor painted their wrought iron fence; it was all white before; they left the curved parts white and painted the uprights in rainbow colors. It turned out very bright & cheerful.
This box is not my style at all. I love the colors that Kaffe uses, but the patterns are too big and clashy for my taste. I wouldn't make the quilt, I wouldn't use the labels. The mat is so tiny! You wouldn't be able to see the markings unless the fabric you're cutting is just a scrap. The snips are cute, though.
I am sorry that the scissors keeper didn't turn out the way you hoped. It's still useful at least, and the fabrics you used look wonderful. I'm with you, though - a zipper is preferable to a snap or magnetic closure, and binding, bah! In theory it's great, but in practice it's so difficult to catch the back edge properly without either leaving a bit of a flange or missing the edge altogether.
Huh. I was using the touch screen to scroll and discovered I can move the captioning from one part of the screen to another by dragging it. That's useful to know; so often UA-camrs will put a caption or info at the bottom of the screen & I can't read it because the closed captioning is in the way. Excellent!
Love the fabric!
Love the box. Love Kaffe fabric. Hate the tiny eye hole needles. Enjoyed your moment of zen. See you next video
It's Lisa, Holly's assistant, stopping by to visit comments today as Holly's busy prepping for things this week but will swing by here later in the week. Wanted to let you know those Clover self-threading needles have a notch near the top of the eye where you can push your thread down into it vs. trying to get the end of the thread through the hole; so it's not that the eye is necessarily small, but the notch is small! They're pretty helpful and good when you want to bury thread tails when machine or hand quilting; I've not used them for hand stitching or EPP as I use smaller needles for that so not sure how they'd work for stitching.
I LOVE our Moment of Zen. Amazing picture!
Great box. Love the fabric. Thank you for sharing.
Have a great day everyone
What an amazing box! I love Kaffe but feel intimidated to pick a pattern to use his fabrics. I have read that he wants his fabrics to be cut up and used in ways that celebrate the colors. This pattern really does just that.
My new grandson arrived last week, and he and my daughter are doing well. His 18 month old big sister is a bit jealous and overwhelmed but life is good!
Happy Monday!
Very nice box!
Awesome box!
The fabric is gorgeous. Kaffe always makes me happy.
I am with you! Love all the vibrant colours as well as little prints.Kaffe fabrics light me up!
Holly, those wavy seams will become your trademark. Maybe that will be the next big trend. Haha. Never stop quilting!
That fabrics make me happy. I would enjoy sewing them with a pattern like that. I think the photo isn’t good, because it doesn’t admire the contrast. Thank you for sharing.
Those are beautiful fabrics. Did you notice in one of the black and white fat quarters it says “Kaffe”
Fabulous explosion of color on this Monday morning!!! Fun box.
Oh my, beautiful Kaffe fabric. I love the bold colors of Kaffe fabrics. I believe to word flamboyant!. Wonderful pattern and fabric ❤❤❤❤❤
TBH I was wishing I had one of those little mats. I was trimming down HSTs to 2.5” and I didn’t feel like pulling out my larger mat that turns for a block that size. So, the mat you have will come in handy if you ever need to trim down smaller blocks.
I find Kaffe fabric intimidating, but it’ll look great in that pattern!
I don’t really like big bold prints, but those colors I do.
All the spots - absolutely! No need to choose, go with what you're feeling at the time, why else would they make so much cool fabric! Love the zen picture!
Holly, I was quite an accomplished sewer before quilting. I think that scissor holder would be difficult. I always use snaps instead of magnets. I find the magnets over time wear through the material. I like the way it turned out, though.
I am going to date myself here, but the big black and white Kaffe circles remind me of the intro to The Twilight Zone.
This weekend, I went out and picked a huge bucket of French green beans from my garden. Darn, if a yellow jacket/wasp (I didn't get a good look) didn't bite me. It itches and is slightly swollen , but boy the green beans taste good. Since we have 4 varieties of grapes climbing up on pig wire in the garden, we tend to get the nasty wasps on our acre. I usually go out before the sun is up to work in the garden, and the wasps are asleep.
Holly, have a great day. Yesterday was a little cloudy, so we only got up to 98. We are in our July stretch of plus 100 degrees. It is 79 degrees already and it is not even 7:00 am. Big sigh.
Love Kaffe
Did you see Kaffe spelled out in the black and white fabric? It’s not really noticeable. It’s the 4th fabric.
I see lots of quilters that use the wavy sewing when quilting the whole quilt. How about we say you are evolving. You are choosing fabrics from other designers and there's noting wrong with that. This box with the Kaffe fabrics appealed to me and most times it doesn't. So now I'll have to rethink his lines in the future. Love the scissor holder. Great job. TFS
it’s never a failure when trying something new. it’s a learning experience. love the box…not sure I’d use the pattern with the fabrics provided.
Hi, it's Lisa, Holly's assistant; she's prepping for some things the next few days & will be catching up on comments later in the week. I agree about the pattern with these fabrics, but I know Holly likes her Villa Rosa patterns! Have a great week!
Beautiful quilt at the beginning of your videos! Could you tell us about it? Fabric line and pattern. Just so lovely! ❤
Hi, this is Holly's assistant, Lisa; I'm checking in on comments as Holly's busy preparing for some things this week but she'll look at comments later in the week. The pattern is called Wyld Whirl and it is/was a free pattern by Wyldwood Creative that they send/sent with every fat quarter bundle; they're in Renton, WA if you want to contact them about it. I'm not sure what fabrics Holly used, but I'll check in with her and be sure to return here to let you know, and I'll also ask her to mention it in a future video as several people have asked about it. Happy Quilting!
Wavy seams -- it is said that as Monet's eyes became worse he saw colors differently; hence, his "green period," "blue period," etc. His paintings are worth a lot of money! I have a hack that I used recently; will send you one -- it's a rectangle Lego! You put it on your machine with some removable sticky adhesive (e.g., the putty you use to put posters on the wall). I used Duct Tape brand putty (there are others) and it holds in place well and didn't harm my machine when I removed it (by twisting the Lego clockwise and counter clockwise until it came off). Hope this is helpful to anyone that also wants to try it!
The magnet not sticking is not your fault. I have had the same time happen as well as once having a magnet so strong I felt like I was going to rip the material. Some magnets are stronger than others. The By Annie magnets are supposed to be very good but I have not used the one I bought yet so I cannot say for sure. The scissor case was beautifully done!
Good morning Holly, I appreciate the vibrant Kaffe fabric, but it's just too bold for my home or my taste. If I used the fabric, I'd have to tone it down with another pattern and some solids. I hope you have a great day ❤
It's Lisa, Holly's assistant; I'm checking in on comments today as Holly is busy preparing for some things this week and will catch up comments later in the week. I know what you mean about the colors being too bold for your home. One tip: cut the fabric smaller; you end up with beautiful pops of color as an accent surrounded by the color of your choice that coordinates with your home vs. it being the focal print! Might work great in a postage stamp quilt, the Crossroads block, half square triangles, Jacob's Ladder just to name a few. Happy Quilting!
That was a really good box. I saw that Kaffe is going to work with Liberty to do some traditional Liberty prints in Kaffe colors. I am super behind on video watching.
Holly, If you were going to choose two boxes, besides Open Gate, Which ones would you choose? ty
Hollllly! Girl! You are way way to hard on yourself - I think it looks great, I do like the zipper pouches better because I like the fabric but the first looks lovely. I like the band you added to it even though you have magnetics cause you could put those clippy thingys on it etc. Oh! There's Ghastlies fabric where the characters are holding scissors that would be great for a scissor pouch.
Buying fabric is my super power, just sayin'. I'd use that little mat in the kitchen for cutting up my veggies - and my sandwiches...I like my sandwiches quartered ;-) Ooohhhh - love those big prints, they look great cut down into little pieces like a 2.5" square. I like the entire box, I'd do a different pattern but it's really pretty fabric - especially the black and white fabrics. Very striking.
The value is definitely there. I can't remember what our voting scale is so I'm giving this a 10.
What a beautiful box. If I may ask those who pray, to pray, those who send love and light to do so. I'm doing everything I can to get out of my current apartment. I'm going to have to pay more..I just need to get out of here
Prayers, light and love are headed got you. God will see you through it, lean on him. 🥰🥰🙏🏻❤️😀

Hi Holly, beautiful fabric. However, depending on the pattern when you cut large prints, unless your fussy cutting, you can no longer identify it as a flower. Not a fan of the black/white fabrics, not the color but the patterns. See you soon.
I’m still using little sharp scissors from the urgent care when I had stitches…not cute as the embroidery scissors in the box, but they work.
I agree the fabrics are beautiful, but they are way too bright and brash and in your face for me. The first fabric with 'roses' looked like cabbages! I will be forever wondering if Miss Bumblebee made a landing. I like to think she did. Great action photo.
