The Brown Bag Mystery for 2025 is named Dealer's Choice.

Join Karen Montgomery, 53 participating shops including Sew Simple/AmyQuilts.com, and fellow quilters in this educational experience and finish with a beautiful quilt measuring 50" by 66" before optional borders.

We offer an option for letting us choose the best border for you or you can choose your own, 3 yards will be enough for mitered border corners.

This is our eighth year with the Brown Bag Mystery with Karen. It's changed quite a bit in the last few years to become quite the educational experience.

• There's a Bonus Project before the first clue comes out

• Purchasing a 2025 bag is the price of entry and includes 5 fabrics, plus preliminary cutting instructions.
• Additional details are also included, and clues are mailed out (via snail mail- please make sure we have the correct address to send them to) every 2 weeks followed by Karen's tutorials in the group.

• A private Facebook group community for participants and Sewposium shops

• Video tutorials for each clue by quilt designer, Karen Montgomery

• Additional tips and guidance for participants

• Plus a few surprises along the way.

• Don't do Facebook? You will miss out on a lot of the extras, but the quilt can be done by following the printed clues.

• You can also purchase kits from previous Brown Bag Mysteries here

The mystery quilt itself is a double mystery. You won't know the pattern and the fabrics you get in your Brown Bag Kit are secret except for a single clue tied to the bag. For online purchasing, that clue will be shown on the Brown Bag icons for each listing.

The Square on Square Trim Tool ruler is recommended for this year's mystery. As Karen said, "You'll need this ruler to do the Bonus Project, but you'll want this ruler for the mystery!" Karen is sure to share several uses for this tool.
