DAY 18 || Jenny's Countdown To Christmas 2024 || MSQC Advent Quilt Box!

[@kathleenrobinson1847]

Thanks for the daily unwrapping. I love it when you squeal with delight. So sorry this is a difficult time for so many. I know that in my family we have had many family deaths during holiday time. Time helps the healing and I still love this season. I put on the holiday music, quilt and craft. Sending up a prayer for all of you here who might need a little love over the holidays. 🙏❤

[@mellissahannan7300]

Please don't stop, I enjoy this and i appreciate the effort that goes into finding the estimates.

[@peggyborell1624]

One of the reasons I watch is for the running value. I always enjoy your opening, guessing, and cheerfulness! It’s part of my adventure routine.

[@susanbrown7788]

It makes me sad to hear that people are judging you. Shame on them. I really enjoy the box opening and the enthusiasm you have for what you are doing. You go girl! You are correct about the holiday season being hard for many many of us. Every year I dread this time of year. When we were younger we would go on cruises to get away for most of it. I'm looking forward to tomorrow and all the other days that are left. Thank you Kristen.

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you for the kind words. ❤️😊 A cruise sounds good about now.

[@gquilter36]

You’re doing a great job Kris. Look forward to watching you every day. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@maryl9601]

Thank you for sharing the opening and guessing the value. So much fun. Please continue the way you are doing this. Yes, it does bring joy to me and others

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you. I appreciate the support.

[@CindyKeefer-jm3dr]

Thank you for coming on everyday and I'm loving your handling of the Jenny box!

[@ChristineKrannich]

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome!

[@pywagner]

Thanks for being so joyful every day. I very much appreciate it! 😊 Your openings are such fun!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome! I am so glad you are enjoying them!

[@sewbeitquilts]

Love love the fabric! It’s so pretty!

[@stitchann]

Looking forward to watching you every day.

[@SewtheDistance]

I am so happy you are enjoying them!

[@michaelbergstrom2721]

I look forward to seeing you open these each day. Love you being so cheerful. Carolyn

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome, Carolyn! I'm so glad you enjoy my videos!

[@Denise-w8m]

Thank you for your sweet words and mentioning hard times. So grateful to you for being so positive and thoughtful and the positive energy that exudes from your channel ❤❤

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome! I am so happy you are enjoying my videos! 😊

[@sandracedar368]

Love that Charm Pack: BEAUTIFUL! Kris, You are a lovely person. You make this SEW much fun! THANK YOU FOR YOUR GOODNESS!🫶🎄🫶

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! I am so glad you are enjoying this! ❤️😊

[@TracyFregia-f7s]

Kris, you are the BEST! You have the most upbeat spirit! It is such a delight to watch you open the items every day. Please know you are greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing your joy! ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! You are so sweet! 🥰

[@maryellenf3542]

Kris, I appreciate that you share your best guess on the value of the items each day. I see other people reviewing advent boxes but I like your presentation the best! Please don't be discouraged!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[@sandybettencourt5735]

I really look forward to your advent videos and all the information you provide. It’s fun to watch and listen to you!! Keep doing you!

[@SewtheDistance]

I'm so glad you are enjoying them! I have so much fun making these!

[@margm4]

Hi Kris! Seconding that you’re the very best! 🙏❤️🇦🇺

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! Thank you! ❤️

[@jeaniesherwood1738]

As always I’m enjoying everyday in your company 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching.

[@hollyheath4404]

This is my first time buying a box. The reason I bought this is because I loved watching you last year opening the "gifts". You make it fun.

[@lindaeselunas1639]

Please don't ever change who you are. I have watched you since you began and I have always loved and appreciated your enthusiasm and honest opinions of the box. This is my fifth year getting the box and I have always felt that your estimates are exactly correct. I wish you and your family a beautiful holiday season.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! Thank you so much for your kind words! ❤️ I hope you and your family have a happy and safe holiday season too!

[@deborahpowell4373]

Glad we were correct in that it was a “charm pack”!! And I agree that tomorrow’s will be a project. Can hardly wait. I totally love your enthusiasm and your pricing. You help make my day with your joy. Thanks so much!

[@SewtheDistance]

YAY! I'm so happy you are enjoying the box this year!

[@SewMagic-FabricMagician]

Love what you do. Including the valuation. So what if they’re not exact, they’re in the ballpark. That gives others an idea if what they could get for their investment. Thank you! It was your previous years of doing this that eliminated my fear of buying the MSQC Advent Box knowing that I would at LEAST get my investment value or MORE in various quilting and sewing gifts. Thank you! I’ve not ever been disappointed. I am a fan to both you and the box. Again, Thank you! Actually, I can’t say that enough, Thank you!

[@SewtheDistance]

You're welcome. And thank you for the support and kind words.

[@RawKnitter]

Hooray for a charm pack/stacker! I hope you have a lovely day, Kris! 🤗

[@SewtheDistance]

Love fabric!

[@LauraSup]

Kris, your videos always bring me joy! I’m sorry that some person or persons took your images and your work to present as their own! Shame on them! I’ve been watching you for a very long time now and I know based on your videos how much time and effort you’ve put into every video you post! I love your Jenny’s countdown to Christmas! I like that you try to value each day! We always want to know we’re getting a great deal! I’m excited for the 5” fabric pack and wonder what kind of promise in our future?!❤😊

[@stampingfunwithgaildavenpo1318]

I love that you give us an idea of our presents. Love when I get out of the red and into the black, and see the value. I love your chanel as well. You are awesome!!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet. I'm so glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching. 😊

[@maryg65]

I feel very blessed . I don’t have everything I want but I have everything I need! I thank you for your videos they bring fun and joy into the holiday season! 🎅🏻 🎄

[@ginasmith4005]

You bring joy, Kris! I am fairly new to quilting and I always look for your tutorials! Love how you get so excited about quilty things - me too!! Wishing you peace and contentment this Christmas!

[@SewtheDistance]

Awww. So kind. Wishing you peace and joy too this holiday season. Thanks for watching.

[@reaanneservia3866]

Please do keep doing what you do! I have enjoyed Jenny box openings with you 🎄and of course you’re just guesstimating!! And we appreciate it … it’s fun We enjoy you ❤ and I’m sorry if you have nay sayers … shame on them!!! We can’t please everyone… so don’t try… You just do you! That’s why we keep coming back 🎉😂❤✌🏻

[@lisa5335]

Love your channel!! Love the advent openings! Thank you for being you

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I have so much fun opening these boxes!

[@Liss9248]

I enjoy everything about your openings, thank you for doing these videos and ignore the noise!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! I will try my best to ignore the noise!

[@dianepeterson7606]

The button has been the only thing I didn’t think was so great. Looking forward to the project that goes with today’s charm pack.

[@SewtheDistance]

The button made me laugh! 🤭

[@luvmykids21000]

Your countdown videos are so much fun. I have a ritual this year for my own Jennys countdown. I stay up till 11 every night and watch Jenny and Ron open for the next day. They are so adorable. Then I get up early and watch you. Then I'll watch a few more vloggers thru the day. So much fun for me. I still have yet to open my own box due to shoulder surgery. Maybe after Christmas with my daughter or granddaughters. We'll make it a party. Lastly, thanks, Kris, for your kind words. We all need to be more kind. We all need to strive to be like Him. ❤

[@cheryllittmann1670]

Always someone who has to take advantage of things. Rediculous. I enjoy your channel. You are doing a good job!

[@konniebrockway3178]

I thoroughly enjoy watching you open the gifts and then guesstimate (a term I've used forever when giving my best guess of a cost, etc) the value. I'm looking forward to tomorrow. I hope you have a wonderful holiday. You give us all such great content all year.

[@PamelaMurray-hf9co]

You are doing great and are very entertaining. Don’t let those few people, who like to criticize you or whatever you call it, get you down. You are working hard to research pricing and I for one appreciate it. I know you may be over or under by a bit, but it all evens out. Keep those videos coming❤

[@veronicavega5178]

My goodness it's getting harder to resist opening all the rest of my gifts😮. Thank you for your sharing. Looking forward to tomorrow.

[@SewtheDistance]

You and me both! 😀 My pleasure! So happy you are enjoying this!

[@joanbarker6581]

I love your guessing at the pricing. You are doing a great job. I love your comments!!!

[@janetteschott4558]

Kris, once again THANK YOU!! I so enjoy your excitement and joy you bring everyday, it's infectious! I love that you put your valuation on each item. I know it's not easy putting a value on some of these items as some of them are specially curated for the Jenny box! Please continue this tradition!!

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so welcome! You are also so sweet! Thank you! I will!

[@marionbarber984]

I enjoy your bubbly KZbin videos! The orange button would have been great as a large hard candy! Love the fabric! Marion

[@SewtheDistance]

I love that idea! That would be a great candy.

[@lynneschultz316]

A verse that helps me in difficult times is Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God." Blessings.

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh, thank you so much! I appreciate it. ❤️

[@patriciahibbard7345]

people are crazy! I love your valuation of these gifts and it is helpful to see what we get for our money!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks!

[@SuperBettyboop23]

I truly enjoy watching your countdown to Christmas I love it I have no complaints you’re awesome and funny and cute keep up the good work may you have a blessed Christmas❣️🧵✂️🪡💓💗🌲🎄

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! Thank you so much!

[@infinitejusticeone]

Thank you so much for bringing such a bubbly and positive outlook to us! So much sadness and yet you are a ray of sunshine in my day! God bless and may all your problems go away!

[@jogiese3483]

So sorry to hear people are taking advantage of your work. You are doing a fantastic job, I watch every year. Thank you!

[@dianeocumpaugh6719]

Thank you for sharing the box. I open with you every morning. I like you putting a value on the gifts. It helps justify my purchase.

[@JRRackliff]

I enjoy your videos and especially the “Running total”. Your pricing is what we might pay, so “Good Job!” 🌹🌹

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks. I appreciate you watching.

[@madiemay4694]

I am so sorry that you are having to deal with these horrible issues! I've enjoyed your videos so much! I am heading out of town for Christmas on Friday and won't be back until the weekend after Christmas, so I opened the rest of all of my Advent packages this morning. All I have to say is, that this has been my favorite MSQ Box ever! I am LOVING seeing Jenny's personality in this one. I for one, am loving not having all the little projects like the other boxes. I am so swamped with sewing projects that last year I gave almost my whole box away because I just don't have time with working 50+ hours a week. I will be watching every day because I want to see your reactions! Have a Blessed Christmas and New Year!

[@SewtheDistance]

Shhhh. No spoilers. 😊

[@debramyers3571]

I love your videos SOO MUCH. Thank you and Merry Christmas.

[@SewtheDistance]

Merry Christmas to you too!

[@GailK.]

Hi Kris. I’m late to the party here but I use my bowl covers everywhere. I made a red and white tavern check bowl cover for my Kitchenaid mixer bowl rather than covering my whole mixer. It’s nice to see them come back in style. Popular 50s kitchen item.

[@SewtheDistance]

I love that you made a bowl cover for your Kitchenaid mixer! So creative!

[@Pauline_Bees]

Thank you so much for your videos and upbeat spirit! It's so nice to come home from work and unwrap my gift and then watch your video, it's the best part of my day. I'm looking forward to seeing if we get a project for the squares (so pretty!) You're right, this time of the year is hard for a lot of us, I know it is for me.

[@SewtheDistance]

So kind. I am happy to be part of your day.

[@suzannegamble8170]

Hi Kris, you are doing a great job! I think we all have our favourites . Definitely feel that projects relating to quilting are super. Just my opinion…..

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I agree - quilting projects are always fun!

[@mari-annstumblingbear174]

We love you!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰

[@debgholson8166]

....." wonder what happened to that?".... 🤣🤣🤣🤣 My mind works the same way. One track, then all of a sudden, another! The look on your face was priceless when it hit! Keep up the evaluations, or valuations or whatever you want to call it. I do believe most of us love it!

[@SewtheDistance]

LOL. 😂 Thanks!

[@kimberlyscalberg5876]

I so appreciate your value of the gifts as I am always looking for a deal. You are a breath of fresh air. Thank you.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome! I am so glad you find my videos helpful!

[@lynnbilas4468]

am sew loving watching your unboxings, i get to do mine in the morning being in the UK, i love your enthusiasm as you guess each package and thrilled you are opening each one, I get a bit annoyed at the people who post negative comments on any site, if you don't like things zip it and let the people who do enjoy, enjoy!.... off my soap box now! thanks Khris😊

[@SewtheDistance]

Right ?! You know what they say, If you don't have anything nice to say, then... 😬 😊

[@lauriedutcher5676]

The pillow pack has fewer pieces than a regular 42 charm pack. Enjoy your videos. This is my 4th year of getting the Jenny box. In my opinion, they keep getting better.

[@jeane.2722]

Thx, keep it up.

[@selwynknap6121]

Love watching you! Makes me want to buy the boxes! But it's fun getting the excitement and satisfaction through you!

[@SewtheDistance]

Oh thank you! I am so happy you are enjoying my videos!

[@selwynknap6121]

​@SewtheDistance I found you last year and was anxious to join you again this year! (Also enjoy your other videos!)

[@SherryKQuilter]

You are doing a wonderful job and I enjoy seeing the value total as well...knowing that it's kind of an educated guess. Thank you for your sweet spirit and excitement you bring to the table, as well as the time you spend doing the projects at such a busy time. Keep up the great work and have a great day!!! See you tomorrow 😊Lord willing.

[@wandawalker4191]

Thank you, Kris!! You make me smile!

[@3catmom]

It's always so much fun watching you open each package.

[@SewtheDistance]

😊

[@unowen9668]

Thank you for sharing this, its so much fun to watch! 🎅🎄

[@cheryllittmann1670]

Always someone who has to take advantage of things. Rediculous. I enjoy your channel. You are doing a good job! Wouldn’t you know I’m missing day 19

[@SewtheDistance]

😊

[@denisemarks9326]

I really enjoy your videos. I like the running total of your videos plus all the other exciting information you share with us. I think your personality and attitude is just the sweetest! Thanks for taking the time to share your time with us. 😊

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome! I am glad you are enjoying them! 😄

[@dianehuntley2493]

You DO bring joy! Thank you Kris😊

[@r.m.1284]

Hi Kris, name of collection is Belissimo Gardens ( Very beautiful gardens). It's an August 2023 adorable collection by Riley Blake... Most sure tomorrow's gift will use it. Hugs❤️

[@ccreel64]

I really enjoy your valuation of the box. 🤗 I also adore your child-like guessing what the next gift is. I recall you saying you’ve always done it, and it’s so fun to watch.❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you. And, yes, I've always been one to guess.

[@sandythornton5166]

I was so happy with today's gift!!! Beautiful fabric!! And I love love love your daily videos!! You are so much fun and I just love your positive excitement!! I look so forward to this video every day!!! Thank you so much!!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you so much! I am so glad you are enjoying the videos!

[@janniehoffknecht5142]

I love this advent calendar. Most people have stopped doing their daily opening. Thanks Kris for continuing

[@angelameredith5105]

Thank you, Kris, for all your wonderful videos. I really enjoy watching you open each gift…I haven’t purchased any of the Advent boxes, so I like seeing what I might be missing out on. Sorry to hear that there are those out there that mess up all the fun…using your videos to make money, capturing your hard work and calling it their own, and those that just give you a hard time for what you are doing-they are jealous and negative people anyway…don’t let it bring you down. Thank you for your awesome videos!! ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

I appreciate the kind words and support. Thank you. 😊

[@Denise-w8m]

Thank you for sharing your adventures box opening with us! It’s so fun to open the packages with you. Also enjoy your valuation. ❤

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks! I enjoy it.

[@paulavandieden8609]

Really missed my daily dose of sparkle and joy today. Just been one of those mad days. But here it is, just in time for bed. Maybe it will lead to visions of sugar plums :) See you tomorrow,

[@MrsMeggera]

Hi Kris! I just found you this year and went back and watched all the other unboxings of the previous years since I have all of those boxes, too. You are a joy to watch, and I look forward to seeing what you think each day. When I opened this present, I immediately knew how happy you'd be with fabric (as was I!). :) For me, yesterday's was a meh gift. But I love today's and the beautiful colors of the fabric. I can't wait to see what tomorrow holds. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thanks for watching! YES! I love fabric and projects.

[@pattyturner6529]

Yay! You are wearing a headband today. I really like this one!

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank you! I love wearing headbands. My hair has been extra crazy this year! 😄

[@pattyturner6529]

@ it happens as we age 🤪

[@elainelear4982]

You bring a lot of joy to us. Thank you.

[@Marlahanna]

Guess tamation? Good job Kris!

[@SewtheDistance]

I like it! LOL! Thank you!

[@jeanielipskey1272]

Hi Kris! Yes, you know there is a project, but do we know what? NO....I'm excited to see. Thank for sharing this, I for one really enjoy this.

[@SewtheDistance]

So happy you are loving it! I love it, too!

[@patfuller5265]

Enjoy your videos the joy you give all the time❤🎉

[@lynngallegos2727]

I really enjoy watching you open the Christmas Box. It is always a joy watching and learning from you. Happy Christmas.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so sweet! Thank you! I am glad you are enjoying this journey with me. Merry Christmas to you, too!

[@heavensmountains323]

I love your retro decorations that I see in the background! Keep having fun with all the openings! 🇨🇦🌲

[@Thepumpkinvinecreek]

Right?! That wreath reminds me of my mom!

[@lindahalloran3643]

I recently found your videos and enjoy all of them. Thank you for sharing your talents and inspire me to try something new.

[@SewtheDistance]

You are so very welcome! I am so happy you are enjoying them!

[@elizabethamis9376]

I am sorry you are having problems. Keep your chin up! Some people are just users. ❤👍from Somerset UK

[@SewtheDistance]

Thank for for the support.

[@justsuz45]

Thank you for these great videos! I first started getting this box the Christmas after my mom passed, as a way to put a little more joy into the holidays.

[@musicmom614]

Kris you are awesome. I really appreciate these videos and your enthusiasm. I watched you last year and decided to jump in this year. I have not been disappointed. I have enjoyed every day!

[@SewtheDistance]

That is SO sweet! I am loving this year's box, too!

[@rondaburdine6777]

I enjoy watching you open more than I do anyone! You are one of the best parts of getting the box!

[@evelynfunda141]

I wish that MSQC would give us a sense of how many boxes they sell. Every time I open a package, I think about how many “elves” it must have taken to pack these individual gifts. Wouldn’t it be fun to see some behind the scenes footage of designing, choosing, and packing the boxes?

[@SaraMc-ez2mv]

Yes!!!!!

[@Thepumpkinvinecreek]

I saw 37,000 somewhere. It’s hard to imagine!

[@evelynfunda141]

Wow!

[@jayneterry8701]

Your hair looks good! I❤ charm packs! Don't forget to breathe. 🙏🎄🩷

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

I enjoy your running value.

[@SewtheDistance]

😊

[@judystiegler6668]

I appreciate your work, thanks

[@michaelkaiser6692]

Your videos are great and do bring joy. I do like your ‘guesstimate’ section. It does help to give value. I love that you do the project and then give updates and tips. I’m good at not opening the next item. I have enjoy you guessing. My ritual is watching Jenny and Ron open the gift and any accompanying video. Later watching you. Then getting the next days gift out and ready to open the following morning. Keep going.

[@debmetheral6596]

Fantastic job Kris. Love Stackers

[@RomainCalmandKeepStitchin-w2z]

It appears there is also a small advent box, matchbox size that is almost an exact copy of a designer's box. Just made with super cheap materials. Cheaters work so hard at the 'easy' way...imagine if they put that energy into an honest effort. Have a good day and see you tomorrow.

[@rowenaslater3067]

You’re doing great. The pricing more or less is pretty close to what I would expect so keep it going.

[@laurag8641]

Such beautiful fabric in this stacker! Thinking project next too and so far clues have been present a lot on these gifts. Sooooo……….that’s all I’m going to say!

[@ChristineKlayo]

I luv watching your videos Kris thx yes be kind

[@kelseyrepsher7228]

Thanks for all your work! Hope it is another project

[@KimN1256]

Merry Christmas to you and your family!

[@sharonw667]

A great presentation, love it when we get a Charm Pack. I am hoping that tomorrow's video include a tutorial. Will wait and see. Looking forward to tomorrow. Till then.

[@joanbarker6581]

Love it!!!!
