2017 Murder a Quilt, or Quilt a Muder

Show and Tell

Ruth's assembled Murder Mystery Quilt

Donna's Murder Mystery Quilt in the planning stage.

Each month starting January 2017, Lauren read us a chapter of the Murder Mystery. Who murdered the quilt shop owner? Each member was assigned a character in the story.Each month the list of "suspects" grew. Also, each chapter had a hidden clue about a quilt block pattern. We then went home and made the quilt block from the clue we were given. At the end of the year we had completed 12 quilt blocks.
At our January meeting, the mystery was solved, and the true criminal was revealed and arrested. After the arrest, some members showed the quilt blocks they had created.
Thanks Lauren this was a great project.

The mystery is solved

Rubbings-can capture designs from almost anything with texture.
Markers and Alcohol Painting-Who knew. We didn't have much control over what happened, a great surprise appeared before our with this technique.

Barbara was the STAR today with her quilts.

We did run out of time for show and tell. We are so sorry.

We love to see them all.
