Karen Montgomery's much-anticipated 2025 Brown Bag Mystery program - Dealer's Choice - is finally here! If you're new to the program or need a refresher, keep reading below for important program details, dates, and a list of recommended products.

What is Brown Bag Mystery 2025?

Brown Bag Mystery is an annual program exclusive to Sewposium shops. For those who like surprises, this program is the perfect way to treat yourself to 8 weeks of mystery fun! To participate, simply purchase a bag online or in-store based on the shown focal fabric. The remaining fabrics are a mystery until after purchase, but know that each bag has been carefully curated by the team at Poppy's with the finished quilt in mind.

Once you have your bag(s), you can join Karen Montgomery's private Facebook group and start prepping your fabrics with the included cutting instructions. Then, starting in mid-March, pieces of the pattern will be released every 2 weeks. Poppy's will mail these pattern "clues" to all of our bag purchasers on the following dates:

March 15th
March 29th
April 12th
April 26th
May 10th - aka the big reveal!

The beauty of this program is that the final pattern will be revealed to you gradually over the course of 8 weeks. Along the way, you'll learn invaluable tips and tricks from Karen Montgomery via her private Facebook group and the wonderful community of participating sewists!

What's Included?

6.75 yards of fabric for the quilt top, which finishes at 50" x 66"
Cutting instructions and pattern clues
Admission to the private, participant-only Facebook group
Access to video lessons from Karen Montgomery
