I love Abbie Searle’s Mystery Quilt .. a BOM with a secret .. that’s availabe in our online shop and one I am taking part in. Waiting each month for the surprise to arrive is something to look forward to. All in all I think it’s worth the investment, either BOM or Mystery, and even after only one block I have learnt so much from it too.

This is a great post Jane, thank you so much for highlighting all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into planning and releasing a BOM. My Sewmotion Curve Motion Medallion is a wonderful 16-month EPP journey for lovers of hand sewing, it took many many hours to put it all together but it was worth it!

I can imagine, I did have a look at that too 🙂
