It’s Over 😕
All good things must come to an end, right? I am sad, but also so excited for 2025! There are so many wonderful things in the works, and I can’t wait to share. But first, let’s talk about this box.
If you missed it, click HERE for the 2024 Countdown to Christmas playlist. I also have a blog with each items value (according to me). You can see that blog HERE.
This is my fourth year doing this unboxing event. Below are the past 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 37 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: 13 This category includes items such as fabric, kits, and anything that we would use to make other items. These items are the card-making kit, beads, door fabric panel, hexies, fusible, (2) packs of 5” squares, and more.
Sewing Tools: 7
Patterns: 11 This was interesting this year because out of the 11 patterns, only six are for quilting projects, four are for other projects, and one is a little bit of both quilting and sewing (the cell phone clutch pattern).
Non-Quilting Related Items: 9 This is always a tough category to quantify, so here is my rule: Someone who doesn’t quilt would like these items. Some examples of this are the sewing machine brick kit, the measuring cups, and the iron-shaped tin.
Branded Items: 19 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.
Chuck the Duck: 6 Honestly, I am very surprised there are only six of these items. I would have said there were more.
