Karen Montgomery has done it again!!!!  2023 Brown Bag Mystery is finally here!!! This double mystery program is run each year exclusively with Sewposium shops! This years quilt is called Timeshare and it finishes at 52" X 68" before borders. Want a bigger quilt?? Purchase two of the exact same bag to make your quilt 84" X 84" before borders.

Pick your bag based on which focal print you love the most. The focal print can be seen on the outside of the bag, all 6.5 yards of fabric in the kit coordinate with the focal fabric shown! This program is an AMAZING experience!! Whether you have been sewing/quilting for a week or 50 years, you will walk away with something new from Karen Montgomery's video lessons in her private Facebook group. We hope you will join us for some "Timeshare" Brown Bag Mystery FUN!!


Customize your bag! 
  1. Purchase TWO of the same Brown Bags to make an even bigger quilt (84" x 84").
  2. Want to add borders?? Purchase the Optional Border kit (3 yards) and we will coordinate your border fabric with your kit. If you are doing the smaller quilt, there will be enough fabric in the Border Kit for your binding. If you are doing the larger quilt, you may need additional fabric for binding.
  3. Make your life easier! Purchase the 45/90 Ruler (CGRMS4590) to help you fly through creating this quilt! Karen will also demonstrate how to use this ruler on the Facebook group Tutorials.
