Oh, happy River! Beautiful! Can't wait for happy baby noises as she starts using her voice!!

[@crickettstone7051]

Oh that smile, made me near melt in a puddle! The most beautiful sight and sound on this planet is a baby's smile and laughter😊

[@detreesoh]

That definitely looks like the Bundled Up Fat Quarter Set - 8 fat quarters, a book and a notion - and not the July box. River is so adorable! I love her little smile.

[@marilynjohnson1782]

I was confused when I got my O.G. box today because it was nothing like Holly's, which is fine. Glad you kind of explained it. It's all good.

[@rachelburgener819]

Oh what a blessing, a baby🥰 God knew what he was doing!!! That box is awesome, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, creativity, love and time with us. YOU are such a wonderful person. 🥰❤️😀

[@DandelionStitches]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@livingweirdestherc6644]

Great box

[@ADreamADay]

Boy River is growing up fast. Beautiful smile I would love more meditation. You have the perfect voice for it. Very soft and calming. Have a wonderful holiday.

[@jokelly1762]

Awwww. Lovely moment of zen.

[@debrabukko2295]

It’s nice to see an example of what the Bundled Up Fat Quarter Set looks like. Great deal for $45.00 (per what is currently described on the Open Gate website). I wonder if they may have sent it to you to show? I think this may not be the July subscription box. Looking forward to my box arriving next week!

[@Jas5]

Yes, that is very different for Open Gate. I bought a Lovestruck fat quarter bundle at the beginning of the year and I don’t think all the blues belong with the line. The book has a lot of cool bags to make 😊 River has grown so fast! She has the cutest smile😊 I have some good news! My daughter is pregnant and is due January 27th🥰

[@DandelionStitches]

Congratulations!!!

[@rachelburgener819]

👏👏👏 Congratulations and Gods blessings!!! ✝️🥰🙏🏻❤️😀

[@pameladempsey5943]

Miss River is precious! What smiles 😊 yes, I would enjoy meditation videos ❤

[@Quiltfull]

What a beautiful baby ! I’m happy you have her in your life!

[@Robinrinaldi23]

You look so pretty today. The light is perfect.

[@bgk4635]

Thanks!

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks you SO much!!

[@buffielorah9946]

Good morning Holly! Beautiful quilt! This was a different box from open Gate but I still think it was great! Thank you for bring is together to breathe and sharing that heart melting Miss Rivers smile with us. She is adorable and looks to be growing doing well.❤❤❤

[@mignonnerogers6848]

Good morning Holly ☕️💗 So happy you’re doing better today, you look great and always bring happiness to us! The new light looks like it’s doing a great job! Thank you for the breathing, and meditations sound like a great addition! The Open Gate box was very different but good! Your River Zen was SO PRECIOUS!!! Her hair is growing and the smiles…. melt my heart!! Oh, us southerners, we can get every letter out of a word, for sure! 😂🤗

[@pauladimattei6434]

Love the new opening…beautiful quilt. I hope you share more. You have lots in your glass front cabinet to share.

[@elizabethmckay8712]

I'm impressed with this box; love the fabric and the book about bag making. Aww, River is absolutely adorable and she seems to have matured very quickly.

[@cheryleaston6820]

Rivers smile is adorable. Beautiful baby. Enjoy her.

[@jenniferkuehnow722]

Lighting great, Lella Boutique ❤, looking forward to seeing your quilts 😊

[@moodygirlcreates130]

Yes lady... we take it one day at a time.

[@sharonframpton1887]

Hi Holly! Oh that precious smile on little miss River! Makes you feel if only for a moment, all is well! Good box! Have a lovely day!

[@lisawitowski5712]

Hi Holly, I love the meditation addition! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge ❤. Open Gate always does such a great job with their boxes. These will be fun to make. Love seeing baby River. She's my favorite zen moment! ❤❤❤

[@LaMamaBee]

Love love love the baby smile! What a sweetheart. ❤ You look great today. Take all the time you need to feel better. We will be here for you. I’m loving the Open Gate box. What pretty fabrics and the book is great! Thank you for sharing.

[@martibrown2993]

Don't you look pretty today! Love your new opening with the beautiful quilt. Have a wonderful day filled with love and laughter. Hugs to all.

[@Becklet]

Beautiful River!

[@rhondaemberson3395]

your smile has never been in the shadow, it always lights up our days

[@Ane-kh3yp]

Thank you Holly. Take care until the next video. :)

[@rebeccamaccallum9239]

Love the quilt, a trunk show would be fab!!!

[@shannonhchase]

River is so sweet!

[@dypick]

That smile is priceless 😊

[@karencladere8997]

A babies smile says so many things to me (trust,peace,love). Thanks, baby River for that zen moment. 😊 back at you.

[@user-mfyfe]

I havent gotten my box yet. I pay for the extras. The book is $13ish, 8 fat quarters are about $32, and some best press. Maybe there will be some hardware or something. I think i like it better when she plans a quilt. Precious River!

[@lauralovestoquilt]

The light looks great! You look especially pretty with your top, hair, and the new lighting! I think the Open Box looked good. Some of those fabrics were a slightly older line of Lella Boutique but there were other random pieces. I don't like sewing bags, but I think with a book like that I would try! Oh that dark hair and smile! 😍

[@LeEllenParker-e7o]

Thank you for showing us Soft Squares. I went on their site. She was showing how her mystery quilt works, I've been wanting to do one, so got that ordered. They had like 6 different sets of fabric you could choose from. I went with the red/white/blue combo, which have never been my go to colorways but I've been wanting to do a QOV. I'm excited about it.

[@gailcates2941]

Love the new intro. Yes, keep the breathing. Glad your feeling better.

[@redskyebc]

Love your intro and moment of zen, as well as your unboxing in the middle. ❤❤❤

[@mayg.m.3767]

Nice fabrics. I’m tired of making bags and prefer sewing projects. I’m glad you feel better. Thank you for the breathing time and for sharing the adorable River’s smile.

[@chericappa]

If that sweet smiling face doesn't make everyone smile, nothing can!❤❤❤

[@sharontuch3405]

Ohhhh, Miss River you are just to beautiful, that smile will get you anything you want from your Auntie Sharon! Anything.. Holly lighting is good, very natural. Trunk Show would be fun. Well I know what’s going on Thursday, more fireworks from our 1 neighbor who has not stopped shooting them off every night around midnight!! 😩 Thanks Holly ❤️❤️🤗🤗🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@DandelionStitches]

Fireworks - UGH. We've decided to drug Dandelion on Thursday. Poor thing. xo

[@mistyproctor9588]

Hello Holly, looking good!!! Thank you for sharing Open Gate nice fabric. River is absolutely beautiful ❤, love her smile, makes the heart melt. Until next time have a great day!

[@pattiness3180]

The new light is a good addition. Your whole room looks brighter. I am very excited for your meditation short videos. River is too cute as usual! Have a restful day.

[@dypick]

Glad you’re feeling better today. You make me happy every time.

[@maggienickischshannon2292]

Hi Holly, love the fabric. Did you know that Walmart sells Moda fabric online. Glad you are feeling better. My mother had Parkinson’s. Thank you for keeping us in check with your meditation breathing. Have a fabulous day. ❤

[@DandelionStitches]

I did not know that! Sorry about your mother. Sending love. xo

[@annetteellis4188]

Baby smiles for the win ❤️😊

[@laureeniannucci4878]

The new lighting is great!! Thank you for sharing the beautiful moment of zen. How precious!!

[@charoletthoward7312]

Holly Holly I like your hair in a bun! Really like those bright pink earrings. I'm doing well and hope you're well. Thanks for sharing. Be blessed❤

[@DandelionStitches]

Hi Charolett! Thanks for the kind words! xo

[@maureenleclair8773]

Sending Light and Love to All, especially my caregiver, who happens to be my grandson. ❤🙏❤

[@irenenacinovich4262]

Holly, love your quilt in the opening of the video. Baby River adorable, God Bless!

[@pattiecoxey]

Hi Holly! River has grown so fast! She's adorable 😊 lovely box. Enjoy your holiday and Happy 4th🎉

[@normatulloch376]

Only thing better than a baby's smile is a baby's giggle.

[@marinaabad4995]

I think the flowers on the fabric are cabbage roses, not peonies. I looked it up and the images look like that. Vintage flowered fabric such as chintz, used a lot of cabbage roses. River looks so adorable.

[@patriciamay8806]

Beautiful fabric. Love your new intro video. There is nothing as sweet as a baby’s smile!

[@marlenehinton5749]

Pea-uh-knees is how we say ir here in CA. And that’s what I thought they were. Gorgeous River!

[@judygovotsos7916]

Yes. Please mediation. Anything to help the pain. Where I live the senior center for the county has a caregivers support group. I don't know if your county senior has anything for caregivers bu is worth checking out. A friend attends different classes / support metings

[@tiggermom0258]

Beautiful fabrics! Not a fan of the book. Glad you’re feeling better! Hope you have a great Holiday weekend. xo

[@tinachilders3541]

Not really impressed with alot of the fabric today. But loved the book. And baby smiles are the best! SHE IS JUST ADORABLE! See you next video.❤

[@PatJennings-lm3ss]

Loving your blouse and ear rings. Did you make your top?

[@DandelionStitches]

Thanks! I did not make it. I order most of my tops from a fair trade online shop called Marketplace of India.

[@LDH_Crafts]

You already got yours !!! I'm waiting for mine to ship lol

[@LindaHoden]

Lighting looks good. You talked about exercising the other day…have you tried chair yoga or other chair exercise? It might work for you.

[@edelweissquiltingembroider1761]

Your granddaughter is beautiful!!

[@marlenehinton5749]

Oh dear, no sticker! Now Holly, remember, we can’t help what happens to us, but we can help our reaction to it. Lol. If enough of us make noise, maybe Monique will print them again.😉❤

[@marinaabad4995]

Maybe there was a suppler problem. Perhaps the order was wrong, the order was late, or there was a delivery issue with the stickers.

[@GinaGrowe]

I'm confused about the box - is this the subscription box or is this a fat quarter box with extra goodies? I like the box, just confused. I do like the idea of getting a book and picking out what I want to do, so many projects! Well, well, well, look at that angels smile 🥰

[@GinaGrowe]

I got my subscription box today and it is totally different from yours. I have two projects and two notions - weird, right?

[@LauraSup]

I wasn’t expecting that from Open Gates. The fabric was very nice but I missed the larger and smaller projects! I just subscribed and should get my first box on July 6th per the tracking number. I’m a bit disappointed because I subscribed because of the projects! 🤔 I wonder if next month will be back to projects. I’m not really into making bags but will take a look to see what’s in the book. Have a great week!🥰

[@DandelionStitches]

I'm pretty sure you can expect the project box. Open Gate provides me with the boxes and I've never received the Bundle box. On further investigation, it seems they are two different subscriptions.

[@LauraSup]

@@DandelionStitches thank you so much Holly! I’m super excited for the subscription because it is the first one I’ve ever participated in! I appreciate the follow up to my comment! I hope you have a blessed day! Sending love and positive energy to you and your caregiver husband and family! I love your channel so very much and look forward to watching all of your videos!❤️❤️❤️

[@donnadavis1739]

That is the fat quarter box. I get that from them. They have it about every 2-3 months. That is not the regular monthly box. I get both boxes.

[@stephaniecarico5547]

Is it possible you ordered one of her special fat quarter bundles offered recently. I don't see this being the July Box 🤷

[@pauladimattei6434]

Oh my gosh…Miss River…you are growing up so fast! Slow down baby girl ❤

[@charoletthoward7312]

Great fabric.❤ Beautiful baby! I believe she looks like you! Do you ever stick your tongue out? I told my Mother I was just licking my lips😂

[@donnakimball3822]

❤❤❤i love the fabric. All of them. And that book. Wow ! Im making money wallets for me grandkids. 7,11 ,12. Girl and 2 boys. I loved seeing River. I would love to try a meditation with you. Especially if i could do them later in the day. I will be 69 on july 4th. Happy birthday to the USA. And to me. Please 🙏 be safe.

[@DandelionStitches]

Happy Birthday!! xo

[@yvetteheartso3406]

That is a new box that they carry. Bundled Up Fat Quarter Set. This was not the usual subscription box.

[@alchemyfortheskin2644]

Oh thank God! I did not like that box. I love my projects!

[@DandelionStitches]

Don't know what I would do without you guys. You always have the answers to my confusion! xo

[@rachelburgener819]

@@DandelionStitches🥰you always have such a grateful heart. ❤️😀

[@GiselaSanchez-f8u]

I’m waiting for my July box. Should be here Friday. I pay extra to get the backing fabric for the main project and a fat quarter bundle. I really hope it’s not just the book and fabric for the $74 I paid. I too love the usual project and the extras I pay extra for. I don’t make bags either so the book isn’t really useful. Is your box the standard box or with the extra add ons?

[@DandelionStitches]

The box I usually get has the extra add-ons. The box in today's video is a new subscription they are offering called Bundled Up Fat Quarter Set. If you subscribed to the regular box you'll get the one with all the projects.

[@lizwarnke4689]

I think that's the fat quarter box because it has a fat quarter book. I think it's $45.

[@rosehixon2790]

Fabric was different than I usually use but I would give it a four because of the designer and motor. But I would have no use for that book and have to purchase a lot of other things to go with it and the sample size. The best press was too small too hard to use and the coin purse with useless so I would give all that a 2.

[@jennyharris2993]

I wouldn’t be happy with this box because I have no desire to make a bag. To me a quilting subscription box and making a bag are 2 separate things

[@lynnperschke3966]

Love the fabric but not project I like to quilt not really interested in making bags….
