International Mystery Series



Sew Special is about to embark on A Quilter’s Tour of the Globe! Let us be your guide as we take you to exciting countries around the world and create a quilt at each stop. All you need to do is pack your bag—your sewing bag, that is (sewing machine and tools)—and we’ll do the rest. The total package includes your personal tour guide (Ruth Bergen), travel vouchers (instructions), custom threads (fabric kit), lodging (our classroom) and food (well, recipes, at least!).

This is going to be such fun! Each month we will do a mystery lap sized quilt themed to a different country. You may choose from three color ways each month, and fabric will be provided. Recipes included and a passport. Each "country" you travel to gets your passport stamped. At the end of the world tour, you will get a gift certificate worth $5 for each country you visited!

***Please let us know when you sign up which color option you'd like. You can add your choice along with your name when you check out online.***
