It’s Over 😕
All good things must come to an end, right? I am sad, but also so excited for 2024! There are so many wonderful things in the works!
I am so excited to talk about this amazing box! As promised in the recap video, here is the estimated value worksheet.
You can also check out my list of the items in this blog.
This is my third year doing this unboxing event. Below are the three playlists:

Items By Category
Did I ever tell you how much my husband loves spreadsheets? He just loves them for almost everything. He has that organized mind that I don’t have. We are a good combination! Anywho, he encouraged me to keep a spreadsheet for the contents of the box the very first year I did this. As much as I dislike spreadsheets, he is right. It does allow me to look keep track of the items, the categories, etc. AND gives me a great resource to share with you.
I keep track of a lot of details, but here are the ones I think you would be most interested in knowing. Each of the 36 items we received (some days we received more than one item) fall into categories. Please note: some items fall into more than one category.
Here is the breakdown:
Consumables: 14 These items are all three charm packs; interfacing; cones and stars; batting; felt bird kit; wooden purse handles; magnetic purse closure; glue; precut hexagons; puzzle book; and sticky notes tin.
Sewing Tools: 9 Included in this category are templates; pins; clip light; iron rest; sewing seam guides; point turner; sewing kit; and sewing tote.
Patterns: 7
Non-Quilting Related Items: 8 This is always a tough category to qualify, so here is my rule, if you will: Someone who doesn’t quilt would like these items. Without further ado, here it is: plates, rolling pin, playing cards, Wet It Cloths, puzzle book, sticky notes, mug, clip light; iron rest; and novel.
Branded Items: 10 Ohhhh, this is a touchy subject! For some reason, many do not want me to point this out. I am not sure why. Please know I don’t mind branded items! I really don’t. I swear this is not a dig on MSQC in any way at all. I just keep track of it. Also, the colors everyone loves is the MSQC’s branding colors, which is why they all match. Here’s the list: Snu-ly charm pack; plates, rolling pin, playing cards, iron rest, Wet It Cloths; puzzle book, sticky notes, sewing kit, mug, novel, and sewing tote. I debated adding the patterns to this list, but I didn’t. What do you think? Should they be added, too?
Projects: 17 It still amazes me that I made 17 items from this box this year!
