I love your honesty. I would put that tray in my sewing room with the reindeer and holder on it.

That's a super cute idea! Thank you! ❤️

Those buttons are handmade from Just Another Button Company. They are expensive but have so many cute and unique buttons for speciality projects. I use them on my Art to Heart quilt projects. So cute. I will make the snowman quilt since I have a few bolts of background fabric to choose from. I liked this Jolly Box.

Personally I'd rather have cheaper plastic buttons and then get something else to make up the difference in price. But, I think some double sided decorative pillows would be awesome! That's what I'd like to do.

I feel the same about the box. Rhanks for sharing have a great evening.

Thanks for watching!

@LauraSup Ай бұрын

I’m with you! I wouldn’t pay that much for buttons ever! I think especially this time of year the MSRP that we see on nearly everything we purchase is inflated! I do like the snowman pattern though!

I’m with you. I can understand no backing or binding, but no background fabric? That’s crazy. Appreciate you as always.

At least some Kona!

Girl, those are magic Frosty buttons. Those snow men are gonna come alive after 12 midnight! I stopped buying those specialty boxes because to me the value is not there no matter what that guide says. I love watching you open them though!

The buttons are cute and will definitely make the quilt that much cuter! But they need to be realistic about the value! I cannot imagine paying that price for a pack of buttons!

@cjtheisen5124 Ай бұрын

You are not crazy! I couldn't believe the cost of those buttons either. There are many similar buttons online for much less. This is my first (and last) Jolly Box. Like you, I just don't think there is enough goodies in it. I like the pattern though.

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

It was definitely a gamble, lol. I still love my sew sampler but I think I'm done with the jolly box.

It would have been better to me. That being said, some people love the buttons.

@jessicasteed6916 Ай бұрын

Totally agree about the buttons…. And not THAT much thread is needed to sew them on. A pre wound bobbin of the orange would have been more than enough… and that could have funded something a little more “extra”

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

Agreed!

lol 😂 I have this quilt moved up in my to make list just to justify these buttons… if it ever gets here. It disappeared from tracking November 28th 😩

I hope it shows up soon. I'm thinking of making double sided pillows.

@sabrinabuoniconti5008 Ай бұрын

I checked Amazon and they have 10 carrot buttons for $ 3.15 or 100 for $3.99! Yeah, a little over priced. Pattern is cute, box ok and I agree another notion would be great. Over all though I still like what FQS puts out

When I saw the price on my buttons, I had to go to the website to see what was so special about those buttons. I'm still not seeing $31, I don't think they are handmade. Thanks for the review, it is always entertaining.

@jeaniesherwood1738 Ай бұрын

They have got to be kidding on the price of those buttons! On a different note,in the U.K. we pay around £16 per metre for fabric like Moda. OK a metre is slightly longer than a yard (3 inches) but £16 in current conversion is $20.28. Cute pattern though.

@cjtheisen5124 Ай бұрын

OK, I went to the button company's website and they are literally handmade from polymer clay, and they are expensive, more than $1.00 each for carrots but I still think there should have been something more in the box.

I like the pattern and fabric. but will not buying background, binding or backing fabric from them. The tray will be useful beside the sewing machine to sort pattern pieces to be sewn.

@UndertheNeedle282 22 күн бұрын

It is definitely a way to add a little prettiness to your sewing space. I definitely won't be buying the finishing kit but I have placed this on my 2025 to-do list. Not the whole quilt, but a block or two. Hopefully I'll get to it. We'll see though.

@lizwarnke4689 Ай бұрын

When you get your new glasses, if they have the scratch resistant coating, DON"T use lens cleaner with alcohol in it. Luckily my lenses were still under warranty so I got new prescription lenses for free. But good golly, I could hardly see out of them and couldn't get the cloudy part off of them. Our local drug store had the lens cleaner I bought and when I looked at the ingredients, it did say it alcohol. The lens cleaner I had in my sewing room just said it had ' proprietary detergents' that are gentle. So I'll see if I can use the alcohol lens cleaner for cleaning my windows! Hope you enjoy your new glasses. I haven't watched your open gate christmas box video yet because I'm opening it up day by day. I've just opened day 3 and was a lot disappointed because the scissors are right handed. I tried using them, but they definitely don't work for left handed folk. Once I get to day 12, I'll be watching your video to see what you thought!

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

Hello and welcome to my channel. I'm sorry the scissors didn't work for you. I will say they are incredibly sharp. I was snipping a piece of yarn and accidentally caught a little piece of my finger 😩. As far as my glasses, I usually only use a microfiber cloth. If they're really dirty I'll run them under the faucet first then wipe with the cloth.

@deniseb9171 Ай бұрын

You are the 3rd person I've watched that said "Halloween" for the thread, and WHAT?? for the buttons $$. Lol, I think the pattern is cute but not cuddly with the plastic buttons!!

They would be adorable as decorative pillows though.

@annettemaxie-mahmoud2390 Ай бұрын

I don’t purchase these specialty boxes…those buttons would have made me mad and I don’t like paying $4/fat quarter either. I like the pattern and would use my stash for all of it. I do purchase the Open Gate and Soft Squares holiday boxes and that is more than enough for me!

I quit getting the Jolly Box a few years ago, because I never thought it was a good value. I wouldn’t even be using those buttons. They sound painful. I would appliqué the noise and eyes.

Kathleen said in the comments that the buttons are handmade. It's still too pricey imho.

The buttons are crazy pricey, but their buttons are hand made and always super expensive so I’m not surprised. That’s why I don’t buy them. Those nose buttons are probably worth nearly $2 each. That being said I love this box and even ordered the finishing kit (which I never do!) because snowmen are my thing for this time of year and that fabric line is super hard to find

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

I didn't know they were handmade! But that's still a lot of money for buttons 😩. I really liked the snowmen and I want to make a few blocks. And the fabric is top tier!

@Kathleen_Theriault Ай бұрын

I do a lot of cross stitch and that’s why I’m familiar with the Not Another ButtonCompany. So was not as shocked as most quilters. But, like I said, I don’t buy them because I’m cheap! 😜

@stephaniecarico5547 Ай бұрын

I'm thinking typo? $3.98?

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

They say the value of the box is at least $110. So if the price of the buttons isn't accurate then the stated value isn't there.

@filmclub9213 Ай бұрын

So, look at the price that you actually did pay, and was it worthi t?

@UndertheNeedle282 Ай бұрын

It was exactly as advertised. $110 value for $70 paid. But $30 of that $110 value went to those dang buttons.

@lukefonfabre2 Ай бұрын

you say that FQS sells fabric for $12 yard then the fabric bundle is overpriced as well at $50 if I heard you correctly say there were 12 fat quarters; that is only $36 in fabric... just saying :)

@UndertheNeedle282 29 күн бұрын

There's always an upcharge on pre-cuts. $3.50-$4 per fat quarter is pretty much an industry standard. Personally I think it's outrageous and generally try to purchase my fat quarters for $2 each.

@virginialegault4699 Ай бұрын

Hoping FQS gets a lot of blowback about this box. Really a rip off and shame on them
