Stitched Secrets:  A Montana Quilt Mystery

 

 

The picture below is the 2023 Murder Mystery Quilt Ad.  I was totally blown away by the response to the event, and so grateful for all who engaged, made quilts and shared their kind comments.  I learned a number of things with that first event, so I'm putting all my best towards the above 2024 Mystery.  As of today, I've made a quilt from the pattern I'll release, and I've got the rough draft for the story done.  It's so much fun, I walk around smiling every day.  My mind works overtime, usually, so I'm already outlining 2025, a trilogy.

 

 

First of all, there will be no blood and gore in this story. I’m not saying someone won’t die, their death will be a mystery, that’s all.

I am a connoisseur of murder mystery books and shows. One thing I’ve learned, the writers have a formula, or pattern, just like quilters. Am I right?

Someone’s found dead, the killer shows up early in the story (you just don’t know it yet), a detective is involved in solving the crime.

I’m mulling around a few ideas for how to run this mystery quilt. While none of these are set in stone, here’s a hint of what to expect.

• Wait List Sign Ups In June 2024
• There will be 4 clues in total, only available to sign ups
• The clues will start middle of September for 4 consecutive Thursdays
• The pattern/story cost will be $9.98 this year, digital format only
• Quilt Shops who want to put their own fabric kits together should email me, now, for a free supply list
• The detective Sally Tully will warm your heart
• You’re invited to share your quilt progress along with your “who done it” clue discussion once you've purchased the pattern on a private Facebook group I'll invite you to 
• Story clues will be provided by email and include a link to a downloadable pdf for your quilt block directions and story
• The planned size of the quilt will be a lap size

Why am I doing this crazy fun thing?

• I love murder mysteries and mystery quilts
• I hope to make new quilt friends
• I like to see how other quilters chose colors
• Sometimes people can feel isolated and want to participate in a group activity without traveling and spending a bunch of money (so they can buy more fabric, patterns and machinery)
• Warning——I am a new mystery writer and these characters and events are totally out of my imagination
