  1. We are in the third week of the Designer
    Sew Along and I can’t wait for the Friday so I can get the fourth. This is really fun.

  2. Looking forward to working on the blocks. Usually do applique but am really excited to try this “mystery” quilt using 1800s fabrics–my favorite!

  4. I can’t figure out how I sign up for the Marcus Blog so that I can get directions for the new sew along.

    Thanks

  5. I was quite surprised to receive three emails from Marcus Brothers today telling me purchasing the Paula Barnes Companions kit is required to participate in the “free” on-line mystery quilt. Is this true?

    • Hi Ginny — the fabric kit is optional. You can also simply use Paula Barnes prints from your stash, or substitute other prints you have on hand. As for the three emails, these must have been notifications if you’ve subscribed to our blog, Facebook, Twitter, etc. I hope this clears it up! –. Lisa s
