[@robindavis6093]

A / 5. I was very much looking forward to your video. Thanks!

A+ !!! I too think the fabrics are beautiful. I remember the old typewriters. My dad had one. Cute fabric.

[@tawnyac3160]

I love the collars. I also want to subscribe to Open Gate! Your videos have given me a wide range of options and I think this box is consistently great. A+ or maybe a 6/5 for Mr. Tom's averaging!! Thank you.

[@annettemaxie-mahmoud2390]

Hi Holly! As Always and A (5) from me. Open Gate is my favorite subscription. I have tried a few others, but always keep my Open Gate subscription. Dandelion looks darling in her new collars! ♥

[@richeletruax3909]

I learned to type on a type on a typewriter. Love the black, grey and white fabric. It would really would look good in the pineapple block pattern

[@familyof5514]

It is a full, eclectic box. I am with everyone else that the black and white fabric is gorgeous ❤️ I'm not loving the pattern but that's preference thing. Grade B Hope your appointments went well!

[@chloemorgan7560]

This is a fabulous box. I would give it an A. Lovely projects and patterns.

[@lucyscott736]

Love this box. A+ The value for what you get is there. Plus I like the fact you can order add ons.

[@gailcates2941]

If i could afford to get boxes i would definitely pick open gates because of your videos. Your pup is so sweet looking in her collars. Thank you for doing the comparisons. Love your hair flowers, brightens up my day.

[@angelas825]

That sweet liberty line is so pretty! A+

[@marjorieshanks3611]

Loved her collars. Open Gate is a definite A++ Thanks Holly! ❤

[@marsupio6207]

My mom used to buy us typewriters from the thrift store and we would play with them and type notes. I love both of dandelions collars! That is always such a good box, A+

[@Wildberryquilting]

So cute, she looks great in both.

[@normatulloch376]

Love this box. A from me. I have ordered 2 boxes from a very notable company and was very disappointed and swore I would never order another box. However, this box is one I am going to order. Thank you for showing us all boxes are not created equally.

[@erikamaass9058]

5

[@kathleenheston5295]

Such an awesome box!!! "A" with maybe even a plus! Love Dandelion's new clothes♥

[@tammyschweitzer7850]

Love A.... I would like to see how you make the collars..... It looks awesome on her!

[@lynnperschke3966]

This box is awesome 5 A

[@janetross4900]

The dog collars are so cute. The Open Gate box is very nice. Fabrics are beautiful, would rate it an A.

[@opengatequilts6867]

Thanks Holly!! Getting better every day. I so appreciate your kind words and I love creating the boxes! Yes, it was the new puppy that I was carrying outside to go to the bathroom and fell, breaking my ankle. 🤪🐶 puppy is safe but I wasn’t! Dandelion is adorable! Love her new collars!

[@deliabee]

I love the dandelion collar lol. I love Open Gate's boxes. It is the only one I subscribe to right now. Can't wait to get mine. Nice projects. I give it an "A+", 5 points.

[@cheryleaston6820]

Love the Dandelion collar. So cute. This box is an A for sure.

[@marthacook]

Brought back some memories with the typewriter prints. Funny thing though when it became a pad it was hard not to swing the right arm to start the next line. Lol. This box gets an A+. Love the dandelion fabric too for Dandelion’s collar. Both those collars look so good on her.

[@GinaGrowe]

Achoo, achoo, achool, aaaaaaachooooooo! Lub th danbelon fabric. LOL!

[@laureeniannucci4878]

My typing teacher- the football coach- paddled me for refusing to put my weight on my resume. Remember back in the day we had to put height, weight and health status on the resume that we typed on a manual typewriter…? Dandy looks sweet. Great job.

[@DandelionStitches]

Say what now? He paddled you? That's worse than my teacher looking down our shirts! I hope karma hit him hard!

[@leighannroemer3340]

I love the collars! This box is great…I give it an A!

[@jenniferschumaker3861]

A+ Hit it out of the park again Open Gate. (Baseball Gigi life ... That's me!)

[@shamancarmichael5305]

I literally squeaked out loud at the typewriter fabric! I too learned on one of those, it was awesome! Those fabrics would be cute with some book or handwritten fabric too! 🤔 Think I just gave myself a project assignment! 🤦

[@buffielorah9946]

I love these fabrics! Dandelions collars are very cute too, so stylish!

[@thebeadstop3862]

I love Open Gate! Will have to get the fat quarter add on and yes I remember typewriters like that! This box gets an A from me!

[@CMiller-fu5cw]

Oh just found your site and I subscribed to open gate monthly box you showed, so cool! Thank you

[@victoriahorner6761]

Another great box from the Open Gate team: I am not disappointed. Everything in this box is usable with minimal excess. I, too, subscribe to this box and purchased the fat quarter add ons - love the typewriter key fabric. (I too learned to type hitting those keys….awww, the sounds!) I rate this box an A!

[@karlettamyers2133]

I love all this fabric too. I give it it an A this time too.

[@lorettamonson5057]

Your dog collars are beautiful! The value for this box is amazing. Sweet Liberty is pretty. If it were mine I might make the extra pattern instead of the table runner. The black and cream fabric is very nice! 5

[@ruthschwartz3697]

Love, love this box. Mine is to be delivered today!! I give this box an A+. I love Dandelion's collars. She looks very stylish. Good luck at your Dr's appointment. Best wishes to the person who puts this box together. I can't remember her name. Ankle injuries are a bummer. I broke mine, but thankfully didn't have to have surgery.

[@suefischer6141]

Fabric was pretty but not something I would buy. A good value though. B Collars are very cute!

[@donnapoulin5092]

A, love love love this box

[@paulacox902]

Beautiful fabric! I give this box a 5. Love the dog collars. Would you show how you made them? A+

[@DandelionStitches]

I'm filming a tutorial today!

[@dakin7612]

A+

[@tanyaperrin1218]

So many cute things this video...first the dog collars though! Perfect choices. Do you have a source for the hardware that you can recommend? I know you are super busy, but I rather enjoy your tutorials so can you please consider doing a dog collar tutorial in the near future please? The typewriter fabric uses the same keys as the one I have here...which I love! They don't make 'em like that anymore!

[@DandelionStitches]

Happy to do a dog collar video. I'll try and get it filmed today. I'll source my supplies in the video.

[@mayg.m.3767]

I love, love this box and your puppy is very beautiful with her new outfit 😍. Thank you for sharing ñ

[@maryg7599]

Rating A for this box. Especially enjoyed the fabric flip-throughs and pix of Dandelion in her new collars ❤️🙂.

[@sherryedwards5978]

Hello- first off the collars are perfect! Love the dandelion print as much as the “C”. I’m eclectic as well. I should get my 1st box today! It’s a 5 for me. 😀

[@barbolson8768]

Hi Holly, the Sweet Liberty fabric is so pretty. The black & white fabric is a fun novelty print. The pattern is the pineapple block. I still have a manual typewriter that sits in it's own little suitcase. This box is an A ! Get well soon Monique. Dandelion looks fabulous in her pink collar.

[@dorotheakominos1313]

While I love the patterns in the box, the main project fabric was just not my aesthetic. My sister has been quilting for 30 years and I have a load of table runners, so I would use the fabric for another project. I didn’t care for the fabric labels as a second project. I also feel that the extras make this box more expensive. Given all those considerations, I would give it a B.

[@bettyechapman3053]

Can you do a sewalong for the dog collars? I would love to make them.

[@DandelionStitches]

It's next on the list!!

[@HearttoHomeCraftswithJoanne]

LOVE everything. A+ The black and white fabric is everything! Dog collars are so cute! 💗

[@vickieastle8470]

Grade A from me.

[@maureenleclair8773]

I still have an old-time typewriter. It is all steel and weighs a ton. My father bought it for me 63 years ago second hand, so I have no idea how old it actually is. We are having a very soggy week. Wishing you well with your doctors appointments. Sending Love and Light to Everyone. ❤

[@tiggermom0258]

Dandelion is going to be the most stylish dog this summer! The collars are beautiful! This open gate box is absolutely delicious!! I give this box an A+!! Love all the fabrics and especially the table runner pattern. Have a great day! xo

[@lauralovestoquilt]

How much(what price) is the add on you received? Dandelion's collars are beautiful. This box is an A for me.

[@DandelionStitches]

The fat quarter add-on is $12 and the backing add-on is $10.

[@MyQuiltProjects]

I like this box but would have loved to see the photos Monique provided in the kit. Did I miss them?

[@DandelionStitches]

I didn't show it long enough. So sorry.

[@kayswenson3021]

Thank you Holly, this was a 5 for open gate box. The dog collars are super cute.

[@karenbadger9311]

Not really sure how to rate this box, since you got the add ons, though that would add more $ for people. C Cute collars!

[@lynnperschke3966]

Good morning

[@DandelionStitches]

Good Morning, Lynn. I really appreciate this little morning exchange. Starts my day off happy. xo

[@darleneayers4333]

A

[@GinaGrowe]

Holly, I'm just a bit confused, are the quilt labels are project or an add-on that you received? I also love J. Wecker-Frisch and plan on getting her upcoming line "The Queen of We'en" when it comes out. Both collars look lovely on her so she has her spring and summer looks ready.

[@DandelionStitches]

The quilt labels were part of the box, not an add-on. The fat quarter bundle and the main project backing were the add-ons. I should have been more clear.

[@jennyharris2993]

We didn’t get a good look at the first pattern 😞

[@nancyboettiger1480]

your title says the April Box it should say May. I liked the box I give it a 5

[@DandelionStitches]

Yes, it should be May. Man I must have been asleep when I put this video out.

[@sandykleckler5761]

I’m giving it a B. They box didn’t wow me and the fabric was just ok. I also think you should include the add ons($22)in the price of the box. The box you are showing isn’t the $42 box. Love you dog collars! Keep up the good work.

[@snf1772]

Cant see, move the camera
